About this property

Overview

Birdie Hills sits within Estepona Golf itself, so every home looks directly onto the course. The apartments range from two to three bedrooms, with built areas between 70 and 103 square metres. Terraces are generous, spanning 22 to 97 square metres depending on the unit. The larger terraces suit the three-bedroom layouts, while the smaller ones serve compact two-bedroom homes aimed at couples or golfers who want a lock-up-and-leave base. Layouts are straightforward, with open-plan living areas that flow onto the terrace. The southeast and west orientations mean good natural light, though west-facing units will be warmer in summer.

The location is above the AP-7 motorway, towards the foothills rather than on the coastal strip. The nearest beach is 24 minutes on foot, so this is not a beachside development. Estepona Golf is immediate, a one-minute drive or short walk, and the course wraps around the site. The town centre of Estepona is close enough for weekly shops and services, and Gibraltar Airport is 46 minutes by car. The Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is six minutes away, and Puerto Deportivo marina is nine minutes for anyone who sails or wants a coastal outing.

Communal facilities include a pool, a rooftop pool with seating, a gym and a social club. There is also buggy parking for residents who play regularly and want to store their own cart. The setting works well for buyers who play often and want the course outside their door, but it does mean living within a golfing estate rather than a more varied neighbourhood. Noise from the AP-7 may carry, depending on which side of the development you are on. This suits golfers first, then families who want space and greenery without needing to be on the beachfront. Anyone who wants to walk to the sea daily will find the distance inconvenient.

BIRDIE HILLS: Frequently Asked Questions

Built areas run from 70 to 103 square metres across two- and three-bedroom layouts. Terraces range from 22 to 97 square metres. The larger terraces come with the three-bedroom homes, while the smaller ones serve the two-bedroom units. All layouts are open-plan, with living areas that open directly onto the terrace.

The nearest beach is 24 minutes on foot, so this is not a beachside development. Most residents drive or use the facilities on site rather than walking to the sea. The setting is inland of the AP-7 motorway, towards the foothills, so the coast is close by car but not immediate.

Every home overlooks Estepona Golf, and the course is a one-minute drive or short walk from your door. The development includes buggy parking for residents who own a cart. The setting is quiet and green, but it does mean living within a golfing estate rather than a more varied neighbourhood. Traffic noise from the AP-7 may carry to some units.

Gibraltar Airport is 46 minutes by car. The route runs along the AP-7, so access is straightforward. The distance and drive time suit lock-up-and-leave use, particularly for the two-bedroom layouts aimed at golfers who visit several times a year rather than living here full time.

A supermarket is six minutes by car, and the town centre of Estepona is 14 minutes for weekly shops and services. The Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is six minutes away. Most amenities need a car, though Estepona Golf itself has a clubhouse and facilities on site for residents who play regularly.

Buying off-plan in Estepona 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.
