About this property

Overview

Villa Santhai 3 y 9 is a new development of 4-bedroom detached villas for sale in Alhaurin de la Torre, Costa del Sol, priced from €890,000 to €930,000. This is a two-villa project positioned in the elevated Pinos de Alhaurín residential zone, a setting that delivers unobstructed views across the Guadalhorce Valley whilst sitting adjacent to pine forest and woodland walking routes. The scale is deliberately limited: two properties on individual 1,000 m² plots, each designed with an avant-garde architectural approach that prioritises horizontal space and natural light over vertical volume. A planned highway connection between Alhaurín de la Torre and Málaga city is currently approved, which will reduce commute times for buyers working in the provincial capital.

Each villa offers 134–137 m² of built interior space across three levels, with four bedrooms distributed between the upper floor, lower floor, and pool level. Three bathrooms serve the interior, with an additional exterior bathroom adjacent to the private pool. The layout centres on an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, with a secondary multifunctional living and games room on the pool level. Terraces total over 180 m² per villa, a figure that exceeds the interior footprint and reflects the design intent: these are homes built to extend daily living outdoors. The pool, solarium, and garden areas occupy the remaining plot space. Large-format windows run floor to ceiling in the main living zones, maximising daylight penetration and framing the valley views that define the site.

Málaga's international airport is 15 minutes by car, a proximity that appeals to Northern European buyers seeking a second home with reliable year-round flight access. The beaches at Guadalmar and Torremolinos lie within a similar radius. Pinos de Alhaurín attracts a mix of Spanish families and international residents who prioritise space, greenery, and relative quiet over beachfront density, yet want Málaga city centre within a 20-minute reach. This is an inland location: buyers should expect a hillside setting with woodland walks rather than coastal immediacy. The surrounding area is established residential, not a resort enclave, which supports stable long-term value but offers limited on-foot amenities compared to denser coastal zones.

These villas are key-ready and available for immediate occupation. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the property, followed by stage payments during construction (already completed in this case), with the balance due on key handover. Buyers should instruct independent Spanish legal representation to verify title, review contracts, and confirm all planning permissions and utility connections. The combination of completion status, plot size, and terrace allocation makes these properties suitable for buyers who intend full-time or extended seasonal residence rather than short-term rental investment.

Buying off-plan in Alhaurin De La Torre means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
