About this property

Overview

Marine Hills - Stage 2 is a new development of 1 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €464,000 to €1,009,000. The project sits on an elevated hillside position in Selwo, on the New Golden Mile, placing it 2 kilometres from the beach with sea views across the coastline. This is Stage 2 of a larger gated community, meaning the core infrastructure and amenity suite are already established, which reduces the typical uncertainties around phased delivery.

Built sizes range from 65 to 146 m², with one to three bathrooms depending on the unit configuration. All ground floor apartments include private gardens in addition to terraces, extending the usable outdoor space considerably beyond what upper-floor units in comparable developments offer. The community includes a gym, spa, coworking space, paddle tennis courts, jacuzzis, a summer pool for adults and children, and an infinity heated pool with sea views. Underfloor heating is installed throughout all three-bedroom units. The developer offers full cost-free personalisation of interior materials and flexible interior architecture, which is unusual at this price point and allows buyers to configure layouts and finishes before construction is finalised.

Selwo occupies the stretch of coast between Puerto Banús, approximately 10 minutes by car to the northeast, and Estepona town centre, roughly 8 minutes southwest. The New Golden Mile attracts a mix of northern European second-home buyers and year-round residents who want proximity to Marbella's amenities without the density or price premium of the Golden Mile itself. The area has seen steady development over the past decade, with a growing number of international schools, commercial centres, and beach clubs. The hillside setting means road access involves inclines and turns, which some buyers find inconvenient, but it also ensures the sea views that define the area's appeal.

Marine Hills - Stage 2 is under construction, with completion expected in phases as is standard for staged developments. The Spanish new build payment structure typically requires a reservation deposit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, payment terms, and completion guarantees. Ground floor units with private gardens tend to command a premium on resale in this market, particularly among buyers with young children or those who prefer direct garden access over shared communal areas.

Every apartment comes with a private garage and either a private garden or communal pool access, plus the option of a private pool depending on your unit.

Marine Hills - Stage 2 is expected to be completed in February 2028, giving you time to plan your move to the Costa del Sol. This timeline allows for quality construction and finishing of all ground floor apartments in the development.

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.
