About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This ground-level residence spans 136 square metres of recently renovated living space, where Italian doors and high-quality windows frame each room. The complete refurbishment includes a fitted kitchen with Siemens appliances and contemporary finishes throughout both bathrooms.
The layout provides three separate bedrooms across the 136-square-metre interior, each with space for double beds and storage. The kitchen arrives fully equipped with integrated appliances, whilst the 20-square-metre terrace extends the living area outdoors. One allocated parking space comes with the property, and the private pool offers year-round use. The apartment remains unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to configure the rooms as guest accommodation, children's bedrooms or a home office according to their requirements.
Flamingos Park sits in the El Paraíso area of Estepona's New Golden Mile, where the Mediterranean-style community maintains established gardens and a communal swimming pool. The beach lies within walking distance, as do local restaurants and everyday shops. Villa Padierna Golf Club borders the neighbourhood to the north, its championship courses less than one kilometre from the complex entrance. The development dates from 1988 and comprises low-rise blocks set among mature plantings, with the communal pool positioned centrally for resident access throughout the summer months.

Buying this apartment in Estepona
Can foreigners buy property in Estepona?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Estepona. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Estepona?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
