About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This duplex occupies the entire top floor of its block, giving you 270 square metres of interior space plus a 160-square-metre terrace where the pool sits. The layout runs across two levels, with the master suite claiming the upper floor alongside direct terrace access. Three full bathrooms and a guest cloakroom mean no queuing, even with a full house.
The ground level of the penthouse holds the open-plan living and dining area, a separate kitchen, and two guest bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling glass along the southern wall opens the interior to the terrace, where you'll find the private pool, outdoor dining space, and enough room for loungers. The apartment comes with one underground parking space and optional furniture if you want to move in without the logistics. Storage runs throughout, including built-in wardrobes in all three bedrooms.
Dominion Beach is a gated beachfront complex with landscaped gardens that lead directly to the sand, plus a communal pool, gym, spa, and 24-hour security. The property sits on the New Golden Mile, 10 minutes' drive west to Puerto Banús and 15 minutes east to Estepona's old town.

9 questions answered
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.
