About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. The south-west orientation floods the 140-square-metre interior with afternoon sun, while dual terraces spanning 70 square metres frame uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains.
The open-plan living area centres on a working fireplace and connects directly to a terrace that extends the full width of the property. Three bedrooms include a master suite with en-suite bathroom, whilst two further bathrooms serve the remaining rooms and guests. The kitchen comes fully equipped and fitted, and the entire townhouse is sold fully furnished. A private carport provides covered parking, and residents have access to the communal swimming pool within the complex.
Puerto Romano sits in a quiet residential pocket 10 minutes by car from Estepona's town centre, where the renovated promenade and weekly market draw both locals and visitors year-round. The complex lies 20 minutes from Puerto Banús marina, with its waterfront restaurants and yacht berths. Built in 1983 and maintained in good condition throughout, the property retains original terracotta floor tiles in the living spaces and traditional wooden shutters on the bedroom windows.

9 questions answered
Buying this townhouse in Puerto Romano
Can foreigners buy property in Puerto Romano?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Puerto Romano. 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 Puerto Romano?
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.
