Flats to buy in Estepona

Among Estepona flats for sale, the New Golden Mile comes first: nearly one in four of ours is there, in gated developments with a communal pool and garden between the beach and the motorway. On that same side, a little further inland, lie Selwo and Cancelada, and the rest are spread across the town and its developments. If you would rather live in the old town, which locals simply call Estepona pueblo, daily life is quite different, because the pedestrian streets, shops and restaurants are a short walk away and you will hardly need the car.

It comes down to whether the apartment is resale or part of a new development. A resale purchase pays transfer tax, which in Andalusia is 7 %, while a new development pays no transfer tax and carries VAT at 10 % plus stamp duty at 1.2 % instead. In both cases you add notary, land registry and administration fees, which follow set scales rather than a percentage. These are the rates in force in Andalusia at the date of this page and are given for guidance only: they do not replace tax advice. Once you have chosen the apartment for sale in Estepona that suits you, we will work out the exact figure before you sign anything.

They are two different purchases. Marbella has the bigger name and more beachfront, while in Estepona we have twice as many apartments for sale, which widens the choice, and two bedrooms is the layout you will see most often. If you are looking at apartments to buy in Estepona as an investment, check each development's community fees carefully and how many minutes it takes to walk to the beach. And if you want to see both options side by side, our apartments for sale in Marbella have their own selection.

Yes, because most of what we have is resale with immediate availability. The rest are homes in new developments, and there both the timing changes, since they are handed over after months or years of building, and the tax, as explained above. If you would rather have something brand new, our new developments in Estepona have their own page. And if you are in a hurry, tell us when you need it and we will tell you which of our apartments in Estepona for sale are free on that date.

Yes, and being a foreigner places no restriction on it. What you need is an NIE and an account with a Spanish bank, and if you are taking out a mortgage, Spanish banks also lend to non-residents, normally for a smaller share of the price than they would lend to someone living here. From the first shortlist of flats for sale in Estepona, Spain to the signing at the notary, we handle the purchase with buyers who live abroad, remotely as well.
