About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This duplex spreads across two levels and delivers 113 square metres of private outdoor space, including a rooftop solarium where the Mediterranean stretches out before you. Built in 2025, the property arrives fully furnished with 95 square metres of interior living space designed around clean contemporary lines and natural light.
The layout accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms across its two floors, with the living areas opening directly onto terraces that extend the usable footprint considerably. The rooftop solarium functions as a second outdoor room, offering uninterrupted sea views and enough space for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Inside, the 142 square metres of built space includes a modern kitchen and open-plan living areas that connect to the lower terrace. The property comes with one parking space and access to a communal pool. Every finish reflects its 2025 completion date, with no renovation required.
Estepona's old town sits approximately 2 kilometres from the property, placing the penthouse within easy reach of the marina, weekly market, and the town's collection of tapas bars and beachfront chiringuitos. The development occupies a position that balances proximity to Estepona's amenities with the quieter residential feel of the surrounding area. The nearest beaches lie a short drive away, and the town's ongoing expansion continues to add restaurants, shops, and services to the western Costa del Sol. One allocated parking space is included with the sale.

Buying this penthouse 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.
