About this property

Overview

Villa Carolina is a single contemporary villa on a 1,418 square metre plot on the New Golden Mile. The house gives you 510 square metres inside and 340 square metres of terrace, spread across four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The layout is open-plan, with living spaces that run directly onto covered terraces, a landscaped garden and a private saltwater pool. A roof solarium faces southwest over the garden and pool, large enough for a dining table and loungers, catching afternoon sun and evening light.

The plot sits on the sea side of the AP-7, so the beach is walkable without crossing the motorway. Lidl is a three-minute drive or an eleven-minute walk. Gibraltar Airport is 53 minutes away. The New Golden Mile here means low-density residential, mostly villas and small complexes, rather than the high-rise stretches further east. You will need a car for most errands beyond the supermarket, and the motorway noise carries on still days.

The house suits a family or a buyer planning long stays who wants space, a private garden and the option to adjust finishes. The four bedrooms can be expanded if you intervene early enough. Bedrooms are split across floors, so the layout works for guests or older children who want separation. The 340 square metres of terrace is more than many villas this size, so outdoor living is genuinely usable rather than token. The solarium is a full floor, not a roof hatch, which makes it practical year-round.

The drawback is that this is a single villa, so you carry all the garden and pool maintenance yourself, and there is no shared infrastructure or security gate. The plot is generous but not large enough for a separate guest house or much planting between the villa and the boundary. If you want a low-maintenance lock-and-leave, a managed complex would be easier.

Gibraltar Airport is a 53 minute drive away, making it convenient for regular travel. The Lidl supermarket is just a 3 minute drive, and a 11 minute walk handles your daily shopping needs. This location works well for families and holiday buyers who want easy beach access without the fuss of crossing a major road.

Villa Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 1.5 kilometres away, about five minutes by car. The plot sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, so you can walk to the beach without crossing major roads. The New Golden Mile here is low-density residential, and the direct route is quieter than the higher-density stretches further along the coast.

The villa faces south and west over its own garden and pool. The 340 square metre terrace wraps around the ground floor, and the roof solarium looks southwest across the same view. You will not see the sea from here, but the garden is large enough to plant for privacy and the orientation gives you afternoon and evening sun on the upper terrace.

The garden and pool are entirely private, on a 1,418 square metre plot. That means you arrange and pay for all the maintenance yourself: pool cleaning, garden upkeep, rubbish collection. There is no community fee, but also no shared security gate or managed common areas, so this is not a lock-and-leave setup.

Lidl is eleven minutes on foot or three minutes by car. The beach is walkable at 1.5 kilometres. Beyond that, you will need a car for most errands, appointments and restaurant trips. The New Golden Mile here is low-density villas and small complexes rather than a town centre, so services are scattered rather than clustered.

Gibraltar Airport is 45 kilometres away, about 53 minutes by car. That makes the villa practical for short breaks and long stays, but you will spend nearly two hours driving each visit. Málaga Airport is closer for most international flights, and the drive from there is quicker along the autopista.

Buying off-plan in New Golden Mile 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.
