Frequently Asked Questions: Lawyers in Estepona

Why is Estepona attracting more buyers than Marbella?

Estepona offers a more authentic Spanish atmosphere than its famous neighbour while sharing the same climate and coast. Property prices are typically 20-30% lower than comparable properties in Marbella, making it attractive to buyers seeking value on the western Costa del Sol. The New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella is an increasingly high-end corridor.

What legal checks are needed for off-plan purchases in Estepona?

Off-plan purchases in Estepona require your lawyer to verify the developer's building licence, bank guarantee protecting your stage payments, and the developer's solvency. Since 2015, new regulations require all stage payments to be protected. Your lawyer reviews the purchase contract and guarantee before you pay any deposit.

Is there a waiting list for tourist rental licences in Estepona?

Andalusia's ERTA registration system for tourist rentals is open for most property types in Estepona. Unlike some Balearic locations, there is no blanket cap. However, community of owners rules may prohibit short-term tourist rentals, and your lawyer must check community statutes before you rely on rental income.

What are the costs of buying a property in Estepona?

Total acquisition costs in Estepona typically run 11-13% on top of the purchase price: ITP at 7-10%, notary fees (0.2-0.5%), Land Registry fees (0.1-0.3%), and legal fees (1-1.5%). Your lawyer provides a full cost breakdown before you sign any document.

Can I apply for the Digital Nomad Visa after buying in Estepona?

Yes. Spain's Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), introduced in 2023, allows remote workers earning over EUR 2,334/month to live in Spain. Estepona lawyers experienced in residency applications handle DNV applications and advise on the tax advantages under the special expatriate tax regime (Beckham Law).
