About this property

Overview

Villa Azahar Real sits on a 2,145 square metre plot in La Quinta, on the mountain side of the AP-7 motorway. The house itself runs to 500 square metres across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, laid out to make the most of views that take in the sea, the mountains and a lake in the valley below. The plot size gives you room for a substantial garden and pool, and the elevated position means the views reach further than you would get closer to the coast.

The setting here is suburban rather than beachside. You are 13 minutes from Magna Marbella Golf and the same distance from Aloha College, which puts this on the map for families with school-age children who also want access to courses. San Pedro Alcántara is a 20 minute drive for supermarkets, restaurants and the usual town amenities, and Puerto Banús marina is 19 minutes away. Nothing is on your doorstep, so a car is not optional. Málaga Airport is just over an hour away, longer than developments further east but manageable for regular travel.

The size and the plot suit buyers who want space and privacy more than they want to be in walking distance of beaches or high street shops. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms work for a family or for hosting guests, and 500 square metres means the rooms can be generous without feeling stretched. The lake and mountain views are the feature here, and they come with quiet surroundings and separation from the busier coastal strip. If you want to walk to amenities or prefer a more urban setting, this will feel too remote.

This mountain-side position suits buyers who want proximity to amenities without being in the busiest coastal areas.

VILLA AZAHAR Real: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 5.9 kilometres away, about 22 minutes by car. The villa sits inland of the AP-7 motorway on elevated ground, so the beach is not a quick trip. You gain lake and mountain views in return for the distance from the coast.

Aloha College is 3.3 kilometres away, a 13 minute drive. The nearest health centre is Ambulatorio de Nueva Andalucía, 3.5 kilometres from the villa and about 16 minutes by car. San Pedro Alcántara, 20 minutes away, has a wider choice of both.

The 2,145 square metre plot gives you room for a private pool and a substantial garden. You are responsible for the upkeep, but you control the space entirely. The size of the plot means you can landscape for privacy and create outdoor areas that take advantage of the views.

Magna Marbella Golf is 2.9 kilometres away, about 13 minutes by car. La Quinta sits in golf country, so other courses are close. The area attracts golfers, which means you are surrounded by people who value the same things but also live with some seasonal traffic.

Málaga Airport is 46 kilometres away, about 69 minutes by car. That is longer than the 45 minute run from developments further east, but still manageable for regular flights. The distance makes this more suited to extended stays than quick weekends.

Buying off-plan in La Quinta 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.
