About this property

Overview

WHITE sits on the hillside above the AP-7 in Valle Romano, where you get a quieter mountain-side setting without losing easy reach of the coast. The beach is 1,694 metres away, walkable in twenty-one minutes or a five-minute drive. Azata Golf is four minutes by car, Estepona town centre fourteen minutes, and Gibraltar Airport forty-seven minutes. The location suits families who want calm surroundings with schools and the hospital nearby, and golfers who want courses on their doorstep without living on a resort.

The villa is three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 160 square metres of built space, plus a 50-square-metre semi-basement that holds a sauna and laundry. The plot is 434 square metres, west-facing, with 40 square metres of terrace. The layout gives you a practical ground floor for daily living and a separate level below for wellness and storage. The pool is ecological, which means a natural filtration system rather than chemicals. Outside space is enough for a family garden without becoming a maintenance burden.

The specification includes aerothermal climate control, solar panels for self-consumption and home automation. Porcelain tiles run throughout, and kitchens and bathrooms are fully fitted. Everything is included in the price, so what you see is what you get with no surprises at handover. The design is contemporary and functional, with no decorative spaces that add cost but little use. This approach keeps the home efficient to run and straightforward to live in.

The west orientation means afternoon and evening sun on the terrace, which works well if you are out during the day and want outdoor time after work or in late summer. The drawback is that mornings are cooler and darker, so if you prefer breakfast in the sun, this may not suit you. The hillside setting is quiet, but you will need a car for most errands beyond a quick trip to the beach.

WHITE: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 1.7 kilometres away, which takes about twenty-one minutes on foot or five minutes by car. The walk is doable for most people, but the route crosses the AP-7 motorway via a bridge or underpass, so it is not a quiet stroll through residential streets.

Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is a six-minute drive away, and the Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is 1.2 kilometres from Valle Romano, reachable in seven minutes by car. A supermarket sits 1.6 kilometres away, about four minutes in the car. Daily errands need a vehicle because the hillside setting puts shops and services beyond comfortable walking distance.

Each villa has a private 434-square-metre plot with its own pool and garden. You are responsible for maintaining both, which means regular cleaning, plant care and pool upkeep. The advantage is complete control over your outdoor space with no need to coordinate with neighbours or pay community fees for shared facilities.

The west orientation gives you afternoon and evening sun on the terrace, which suits people who are out during the day and want outdoor time later. The trade-off is that mornings are cooler and the house takes longer to warm up, so if you value morning light or breakfast outside in winter, this layout will disappoint.

Azata Golf is 700 metres away, about four minutes by car. Valle Romano Golf sits even closer, making this location practical for regular players who want quick access to multiple courses without living inside a golf resort. The setting gives you the benefit of proximity without the higher fees and busier feel that come with on-course homes.

Buying off-plan in Valle Romano 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.
