About this property

Overview

Residencial Sunhill offers two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments ranging from 70 to 85 square metres, with terraces that span 14 to 50 square metres. The smaller terraces suit buyers who want outdoor space without the upkeep, while the larger ones give room for proper outdoor dining and lounging. Layouts are straightforward: open-plan kitchen and living area, with both bedrooms getting natural light. Each apartment comes with a parking space. The communal areas include a swimming pool, gym, sauna and a solarium for residents.

The development sits above the AP-7 motorway in Los Pacos, on the inland side towards the mountains. This keeps motorway noise at bay while keeping you close to shops, schools and the coast. The Mercadona is a 17-minute walk or six minutes by car, and Málaga Airport is 33 minutes away by road. Los Pacos itself is residential and quiet, with families and long-term residents rather than tourists. If you want a beachfront location or to walk to the sea, this is not it. The coast is close by car, but you are not on it.

The complex is gated with CCTV and a single pedestrian entrance, which suits buyers who value security but also means you will need to buzz visitors in. The apartments face east or south, so morning or afternoon light depending on which you choose. The setting works for families who need schools and services nearby, or for buyers who want a base with airport access and a car park, rather than a seafront lifestyle. The terrace sizes vary widely, so check which unit gives you the outdoor space you actually need.

Residencial Sunhill: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is 1.2 kilometres away, about seven minutes by car. This is not a location where you walk to the sea. The development sits inland of the AP-7 motorway, so you need a car for beach trips and most other errands.

Terraces range from 14 to 50 square metres. The smaller ones give you outdoor space without much maintenance, while the larger ones are big enough for a proper dining table and sun loungers. The range is wide, so the terrace size should be your first question when choosing a unit.

The development has a communal swimming pool shared by all residents, along with a gym, sauna and solarium. There are no private pools. The communal setup means lower running costs for each owner, but you share the facilities with your neighbours.

The nearest Mercadona is a 17-minute walk. Beyond that, most amenities need a car. Los Pacos is a residential neighbourhood close to schools and shops, but it sits inland rather than in the town centre, so daily errands by foot are limited.

The apartments face either east or south. East-facing units get morning sun, which keeps them cooler in the afternoon. South-facing units have light most of the day, which suits buyers who want brightness but also means more heat in summer.

Buying off-plan in Los Pacos 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.
