About this property

Overview

These are three-bedroom townhouses built over three storeys, each with two bathrooms and between 168 and 197 square metres inside. Terraces run from 48 to 77 square metres, so the larger homes give you plenty of outdoor space for dining or lounging in the sun. The layouts rise through the floors, which means you climb stairs daily. That suits buyers who want separation between living and sleeping areas, but anyone with mobility concerns should look elsewhere.

The townhouses sit at the highest point of the development, above the AP-7 motorway towards the mountains in Istán. Every home faces southeast with unobstructed views across Marbella Bay and out to Gibraltar. The elevation means you see over the rooftops below, and the mountain backdrop keeps the density low behind you. The trade-off is noise from the motorway, which you hear more on calm days, and a location that needs a car for everything. Mercadona is nine minutes away, Aloha College the same, and Marbella town centre is 17 minutes when you want restaurants or shops.

This works for families who prioritise views and space over walkability, and who are happy to drive to school, golf or the beach. Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is 14 minutes away, and the coast is close enough for regular trips without living in the middle of it. Málaga Airport is just over an hour, manageable for frequent flyers but not quick. The setting is quiet and green, more mountain village than beachside resort, and the homes come with parking and a storeroom as standard.

ALMAZARA VIEWS (Townhouses): Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Nagüeles is 5.5 kilometres away, about 13 minutes by car. The development sits inland of the motorway towards the mountains, so every beach trip means driving down to the coast. You are close enough for regular visits but not for a quick walk between breakfast and lunch.

Each townhouse has its own terrace, ranging from 48 to 77 square metres depending on the layout. Pools are either communal or private, so you may share facilities with neighbours or have your own. The facts do not specify which configuration applies to which home, so ask before you commit.

Nothing practical. The nearest supermarket is 4.3 kilometres away, Aloha College is four kilometres, and Marbella is seven. The development sits above the motorway in a quiet hillside setting, which gives you the views but means you drive to shops, schools and restaurants every time.

Every townhouse faces southeast with sea views across Marbella Bay, mountain views inland, and panoramic sightlines that stretch to Gibraltar on clear days. The elevation puts you above the rooftops below, so nothing blocks the view forward, and the mountains behind keep the hillside open.

Aloha College is four kilometres away, about nine minutes by car. The same drive gets you to a Mercadona for weekly shopping. Healthcare means a 16-minute drive to the health centre in Nueva Andalucía. Everything needs the car, so this suits families who already expect to drive rather than walk children to school.

Buying off-plan in Istán 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.
