About this property

Overview

Sunway Residence is a low-rise development of 48 apartments spread across three floors, with layouts ranging from two to three bedrooms. The built area runs from 128 square metres at the lower end to 378 square metres for the larger units, which means the smaller flats suit singles or couples after a manageable home near the coast, while the upper end gives families genuine space. Terraces are sizeable throughout, from 26 to 147 square metres, and each home has views over the sea, mountains or golf course, or a combination of all three. Every apartment comes with an underground parking space and a storage room, and the penthouses get two parking spaces.

The development sits just off the AP-7 in Estepona, 869 metres from Playa Costa Natura, which you can walk in 11 minutes. Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is right next door, a minute's drive or less on foot, and Azata Golf is seven minutes away by car. The hospital is two minutes away, and you have an Aldi within an eight-minute walk. The surroundings are residential and quiet, with the main roads close enough for quick access but not on your doorstep. Estepona port and the old town are both under 15 minutes by car, and Gibraltar Airport is 44 minutes. This location suits families who want a school and beach both nearby, and golfers who prefer a calm neighbourhood to a resort.

The communal areas include a pool, a garden and a relaxation zone, though the development is not gated and the setting is suburban rather than secluded. The proximity to a school means you have children around during term time, and the walk to the beach, while short, is not immediate. If you want a lock-up-and-leave apartment with everything on site, this is not that. It works for those who value practical access to Estepona and the wider coast over a self-contained complex.

Sunway Residence: Frequently Asked Questions

Built area ranges from 128 to 378 square metres, with two to three bedrooms and two bathrooms throughout. The terraces run from 26 to 147 square metres, so even the smallest flats have outdoor space that matters. Ground-floor units open onto gardens, penthouses take the top floor with two parking spaces instead of one, and middle-floor apartments sit between the two.

Playa Costa Natura is 869 metres away, an 11-minute walk. That is the nearest stretch of sand, and it is a naturist beach, so families with young children may prefer to drive three minutes to the next cove. Estepona has half a dozen other beaches within a short drive, all with different feels.

Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is next door, under a minute by car or a short walk. Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is 346 metres away, about two minutes by car, and a supermarket is 596 metres. The neighbourhood is residential and quiet, so children play outside, but this is not a gated resort with supervised facilities.

Every home looks out over the sea, mountains, golf course or a combination of the three. Aspect and floor determine what you see most of, and the penthouses on the top floor take in the widest panoramas. The development is low-rise, so even ground-floor apartments have clear sightlines rather than staring at the next block.

Gibraltar Airport is 32 kilometres away, about 44 minutes by car on a clear run. Málaga Airport is the other option for international flights, roughly an hour east. Gibraltar works well for short breaks and frequent trips because the terminal is small and you clear it quickly, though flight choice is narrower than Málaga.

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.
