Yes, absolutely. Spanish law places no restrictions on property ownership based on nationality.

The Spanish "Golden Visa" program is exceptionally relevant for this municipality. Almost every property transaction in Sotogrande, and many in Alcaidesa, will comfortably exceed the €500,000 investment threshold required for non-EU citizens to apply for a residency permit.

It is crucial to budget an additional 10% to 14% of the purchase price to cover all taxes and fees. The area has a mix of new-build and resale properties.

• For New-Build Properties (common in Sotogrande/Alcaidesa):
  • VAT (IVA): 10% of the purchase price.
  • Stamp Duty (AJD): 1.2% in Andalusia.
• For Resale Properties:
  • Property Transfer Tax (ITP): 7% of the purchase price.
• For All Properties:
  • Notary & Land Registry Fees: These are scaled to the property price and can be substantial for high-value Sotogrande properties.
  • Legal Fees: Typically 1% of the purchase price (+ 21% VAT on the fee).

Spanish banks typically lend up to 70 % of the purchase price to non-resident buyers (sometimes 80 % for EU citizens). Mortgage terms of 20–25 years are common; interest rates vary with the Euribor benchmark.

For developments with shared facilities (pools, gardens, gyms), expect €60 – €200 per month, depending on amenities and property size.

From making an offer to getting keys in hand typically takes 6–10 weeks, assuming financing and paperwork proceed smoothly.

• Visit in different seasons to gauge climate and community.
• Budget a 10 % contingency for unexpected costs.
• Hire an independent lawyer (abogado) to review contracts.
• Consider resale potential—properties with sea views and proximity to golf often hold value best.
