About this property

Overview

Paraiso de Azahar is a small block of ten apartments in central Estepona, a short walk from La Rada beach and close to local schools and supermarkets. The homes range from one-bedroom flats at 52 square metres to three-bedroom units at 94 square metres. Ground-floor apartments have private patios and pools. Upper floors have terraces, and penthouse units sit at the top of the block. Each home has two bathrooms, one of them en suite, and the kitchens come furnished. Air conditioning and heating run on aerothermal systems. Parking is indoors, accessed by a vehicle lift, and each home has a storage room.

The location puts you on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway. La Rada beach is seven minutes on foot. Carrefour is two minutes away by car, and Colegio Público Simón Fernández primary school is a one-minute drive. Puerto Estepona marina and Azata Golf are both short drives if you want them. Gibraltar Airport is 45 minutes by car. The setting is urban rather than resort. You are in a residential part of Estepona, with the town around you, not isolated behind gates or set back on a golf estate.

This suits families who want a base near the beach and the town centre, with schools and supermarkets close at hand. The one-bedroom flats work for singles or couples who want compact coastal living. The building is small, so the pool and communal areas will be shared with only a handful of other households. The location is practical rather than quiet. You are near the motorway, which means road noise, and the surroundings are built up rather than green. If you want seclusion or a frontline golf setting, this is not it.

Paraiso de Azahar: Frequently Asked Questions

La Rada beach is 0.6 kilometres away, which is a seven-minute walk. The development sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, so you do not cross major roads to reach the sand. The walk is flat and takes you through a residential area rather than along a promenade.

La Rada beach is a seven-minute walk. A supermarket is 0.1 kilometres away, which is walkable in about two minutes. Beyond that, most amenities need a car. The marina is 1.4 kilometres away, and schools like Colegio Público Simón Fernández are a one-minute drive.

Ground-floor apartments have private patios and pools. Upper-floor homes, including the penthouses, share a communal pool. The building has ten apartments in total, so the shared pool will be used by only a handful of households. Storage rooms and indoor parking accessed by a vehicle lift are included with every home.

Gibraltar Airport is 36 kilometres away, which is about 45 minutes by car. The drive takes you along the AP-7 motorway, which runs close to the development. The location works well for lock-up-and-leave use if you fly in and out of Gibraltar rather than Málaga.

The smallest one-bedroom flats are 52 square metres, and the largest three-bedroom units reach 94 square metres. All homes have two bathrooms, with one en suite. Ground-floor apartments add private outdoor space, while upper floors have terraces. The penthouse units are at the top of the block.

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.
