About this property

Overview

7 Diamonds Villas is a scheme of detached houses on large plots in La Capellania, built into the slope above the AP-7 motorway. Each villa sits on a plot of between 753 and 764 square metres and offers between 508 and 535 square metres of built space across three floors linked by a private lift. The homes have four or five bedrooms and the same number of bathrooms, with two additional guest toilets. Every plot includes an infinity pool and a garage with space for two cars. The terraces range from 11 to 40 square metres, smaller than the overall built area might suggest, because much of the outdoor living happens on the plot rather than on raised decking.

The key feature here is the sea view. The villas face south across the coast and the developer describes the outlook as 180 degrees and unobstructed. That view will matter to some buyers and leave others unmoved, but it is the reason the homes are positioned where they are. The ground floor opens onto the pool terrace and includes the main living spaces. The upper floor holds the principal bedroom with its own terrace, plus three further bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The basement offers flexible space that can be fitted out as a cinema, an extra bedroom or a lounge with a bar.

La Capellania sits between Benalmadena and Fuengirola, close enough to both for shopping and schools but far enough from the seafront to feel residential rather than resort. The beach is a 19 minute walk downhill or six minutes by car. Mercadona is six minutes on foot. Families using The British College have a nine minute drive, and the airport is 28 minutes away. The setting works well if you want a hillside plot with open views and you are prepared to drive for most errands. It works less well if you want to walk to the beach or prefer a town-centre location where you can leave the car at home.

7 Diamonds Villas: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 1.5 kilometres away, which is a 19 minute walk downhill or six minutes by car. The walk back up the slope is steeper and takes longer. Most residents drive to the beach or use it as part of a longer walk along the coastal path.

The villas range from 508 to 535 square metres of built space across three floors. Each sits on a plot of between 753 and 764 square metres. The four-bedroom layouts allocate more space to the basement and ground floor living areas, while the five-bedroom versions add an extra suite on the upper floor.

A supermarket is 400 metres away, about six minutes on foot. The beach is walkable in 19 minutes, though the return climb is steeper. Everything else requires a car: schools, health care, the marina and golf courses are all between seven and twelve minutes by road.

All the villas face south with sea views across the coast. The developer describes the outlook as 180 degrees and unobstructed, made possible by the hillside position above the motorway. The principal bedroom terrace and the pool deck both take advantage of the same aspect.

Málaga Airport is 13 kilometres away, about 28 minutes by car. That makes the development practical for lock-up-and-leave use, though you will need to arrange airport parking or a taxi because the distance is too far to walk and there is no train service from La Capellania.

Buying off-plan in La Capellanía 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.
