About this property

Overview

Luna Nova Residences sits in the white village of Guaro, on the mountain side of the autopista, roughly an hour from Málaga Airport. The setting is rural rather than coastal. Coín, a seventeen-minute drive, is the nearest town for supermarkets and services. The village itself has a primary school three minutes away by car, which matters if you have children of that age. A hospital is half an hour. Daily life here requires a car.

These are three-bedroom townhouses spread across two or three storeys, depending on the unit. Built space runs from 126 to 127 square metres, so the layout is consistent. Each home has two bathrooms, a private garden and terrace totalling between 52 and 60 square metres, and a plot of 31 to 55 square metres. Some units include a basement level that can be fitted out as a cinema room, gym or studio. The design is contemporary Mediterranean, with open-plan living areas that extend onto the outdoor space. Storage is built in throughout.

The development has a communal pool and parking or garage provision for each home. The village is small and quiet, with mountain and forest trails within walking distance. Views take in the surrounding peaks and the gardens below. This suits families and second-home buyers looking for a retreat outside the coastal resorts, but it is not for anyone who wants to walk to amenities or prefers the convenience of a town. Guaro is rural, and the pace reflects that.

Luna Nova Residences - Townhouses: Frequently Asked Questions

The coast is 6.6 kilometres away, which is a 48-minute drive. This is not a beach location. Guaro sits inland in the mountains, well away from the tourist resorts, and the journey to the sea involves narrow roads through the Sierra de las Nieves foothills.

Each townhouse has a private garden and terrace totalling 52 to 60 square metres, plus a plot of 31 to 55 square metres. You are responsible for maintaining your own outdoor space. The development also has a communal pool shared with the other residents.

The village centre is within walking distance, but Guaro is very small and has limited amenities. For supermarkets and a fuller range of services you will need to drive 17 minutes to Coín. Málaga Airport is 54 minutes by car, which makes this workable as a second home but adds time to every arrival and departure.

The townhouses look out over the surrounding mountains, the communal pool and the gardens within the development. The views are panoramic, taking in the Sierra de las Nieves. The aspect varies by unit, but all overlook rural landscape rather than built-up areas.

Colegio Los Almendros, a primary school, is three minutes away by car. Hospital Valle del Guadalhorce is 31 minutes. The village is quiet and safe, with forest and mountain trails close by, but older children will need transport to secondary schools and activities in Coín or further afield.

Buying off-plan in Guaro 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.
