About this property

Overview

Serenity Gardens offers two and three-bedroom apartments in Estepona, on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway. The homes range from 85 to 114 square metres built, with terraces from 15 to 24 square metres. Layouts follow an open-plan approach, connecting living areas with the outdoor space. The smaller two-bedroom units suit couples or remote workers who want a dedicated office, while the three-bedroom homes work for families who need a guest room or extra storage. South-west orientation brings afternoon and evening light to the terraces.

The location puts the Mediterranean within walking distance, but you are not in the centre of Estepona. Mercadona is a five-minute drive or an 18-minute walk, so most errands need a car. The AP-7 is right there, which makes the wider Costa del Sol easy to reach but also means motorway noise is part of the setting. Gibraltar Airport is 42 minutes away, and the road connection to Málaga takes under an hour. The development sits in a quieter stretch of coast between the two towns, where the surroundings are more residential than commercial.

Communal facilities are extensive. You get a pool, a gym, a spa, a co-working room, a beach volleyball court, a putting green and a children's play area. The gardens are planted with palms, citrus trees and aromatic plants, with paths running through them. These amenities mean you can stay on-site for exercise, work or leisure without driving into town, but they also mean service charges will reflect the upkeep. If you want a low-maintenance base near the beach with plenty to do at home, this works. If you prefer to be in a town centre or need to walk to daily shops, it does not.

Location

Estepona

Location shown is the development site. This development is in EsteponaCosta del Sol.

Serenity Gardens is on the sea side of the AP-7 in Estepona, putting you between the motorway and the Mediterranean. Gibraltar Airport is 42 minutes away by car, making it easy to reach from mainland Spain or further afield. You can walk to Mercadona supermarket in 18 minutes, or drive there in 5 minutes for daily shopping. The location works well for families who want beach access without the drive through town, and for anyone working between Estepona and the wider Costa del Sol.

Serenity Gardens: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 1.2 kilometres away, which is about five minutes by car. You could walk it in around fifteen minutes, but there is no pavement for part of the route and you cross the AP-7 slip road, so most residents drive or cycle.

Built areas range from 85 to 114 square metres, with terraces from 15 to 24 square metres. The two-bedroom homes start at 85 square metres and suit couples or single professionals, while the three-bedroom units reach 114 square metres and give families room for guests or storage.

All homes face south-west, so you get afternoon and evening sun on the terrace. The orientation also delivers sea views from the upper floors and garden or pool views from the ground-floor units, depending on where your apartment sits in the block.

Gibraltar Airport is 30 kilometres away and takes about 42 minutes by car, making it the nearer option for short breaks. Málaga Airport is further but better connected for international flights, and the AP-7 motorway puts both within an hour of Estepona.

Every home has a private terrace, but no private garden. Ground-floor units open directly onto the communal gardens, which give you easy access to greenery but mean the space is shared and you cannot plant or fence it yourself.

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.
