About this property

Overview

Marine Hills - Stage 1 is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €585,000 to €929,000. The project sits on elevated land in the Selwo area of the New Golden Mile, which places it between Estepona town and Puerto Banús with sea views from the hillside position. The developer offers full cost-free personalisation of all interior materials and flexible interior architecture, which is unusual at this price point and gives buyers control over finishes before completion.

Built sizes range from 94 to 127 m², with two or three bathrooms depending on the unit. All ground floor apartments include extensive private terraces and gardens. The gated community includes a gym, spa, coworking space, paddle tennis courts, jacuzzis, a summer pool for adults and children, and an infinity heated pool positioned to take advantage of the sea views. Three-bedroom units come with underfloor heating throughout as standard. Security entrance and on-site after-sales customer service are confirmed. The development is approximately 2 km from the beach.

The New Golden Mile stretches along the coast between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, and Puerto Banús marina is roughly 10 minutes by car depending on traffic. This stretch has attracted Northern European buyers and Spanish second-home owners who want newer construction and lower density than Marbella proper, often with better value per square metre. The Selwo area is inland from the coastal road, which means the hillside position delivers the sea views but requires a short drive to reach the beach or waterfront restaurants. It is quieter than beachfront locations and appeals to buyers prioritising space, privacy, and community amenities over immediate beach access.

This is an off-plan development currently under construction. The standard Spanish payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All amounts and the specific payment schedule must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended for contract review and to ensure all personalisation choices are documented in the purchase agreement. The developer's willingness to accommodate interior changes before completion means buyers should finalise their material and layout preferences early in the construction timeline to avoid delays.

Every ground floor unit comes with a private garden, and you'll have your own garage plus access to either a private or communal pool depending on your apartment type.

Marine Hills - Stage 1 is expected to be completed in October 2026, so you can plan your move to the Costa del Sol accordingly. This gives you time to arrange your finances and prepare for your new beachfront lifestyle in Estepona.

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.
