About this property

Overview

Marine Hills – The Villas is a new development of 3-bedroom semi-detached houses for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,468,000 to €1,638,000. The project sits in Selwo on the New Golden Mile, a hillside position 2 kilometres from the beach that delivers sea views from elevated plots. What separates this from other Costa del Sol villa schemes is the developer's full cost-free personalisation programme, allowing buyers to select all interior materials and reconfigure internal layouts before construction completes. This level of customisation is unusual at this price point and appeals to Northern European buyers who want to avoid the expense and delay of post-completion refits.

Each semi-detached house measures between 167 and 174 square metres of built space across three bedrooms and three bathrooms. All properties include underfloor heating throughout, a specification detail that matters to year-round residents and winter visitors from colder climates. The gated community shares a suite of amenities: a gym, spa, coworking space, paddle tennis court, jacuzzis, a summer pool for adults and children, and an infinity heated pool positioned to take advantage of the sea views. There are children's playgrounds and a security entrance. The developer has also committed to on-site after-sales customer service, which reduces the friction of managing minor snagging issues remotely for international owners.

Puerto Banús marina is approximately 10 minutes by car to the east, while Estepona town centre lies roughly the same distance west. The New Golden Mile has become a preferred location for Scandinavian and British buyers who want proximity to both Marbella and Estepona without paying Marbella Golden Mile premiums. The area attracts families and semi-retired professionals who value newer builds, gated security, and a quieter residential feel compared to the denser coastal strip. Selwo itself is inland from the A7 coast road, which means properties here do not suffer from traffic noise but do require a car for daily errands. The hillside topography delivers views but also means sloped access roads, which some buyers find less convenient than flat coastal plots.

Marine Hills – The Villas is currently under construction, with completion dates to be confirmed directly with the developer. The standard Spanish new build 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 schedules should be verified with the sales team. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, confirm planning permissions, and manage the purchase process. The developer's European pedigree and track record offer some reassurance on delivery timelines, but buyers should still conduct their own due diligence on build quality and any outstanding community charges before committing.

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.
