About this property

Overview

Luxy Sancha offers one to three bedroom apartments in Málaga Este, in sizes from 42 to 110 square metres. The smallest units are compact one bedroom flats suited to professionals or couples, while the larger three bedroom homes work for families who need space but still want to be close to the city centre. The development sits in a restored period building, so you get the high ceilings and proportions of older architecture alongside modern fittings and finishes. Each apartment has one or two bathrooms depending on the layout.

The building is positioned above the AP-7 motorway, towards the hills. You are 150 metres from the sea, which puts Playa de los Baños del Carmen within a 24 minute walk or four minute drive. Málaga town centre is six minutes by car. A Mercadona supermarket sits 98 metres away for daily shopping, and the location is close enough to schools and the port to make those journeys routine rather than trips. The apartments have east, south or west facing orientations, and many have sea views or wider panoramic views over the city and coastline. There is an infinity pool on site that faces the sea.

This location suits buyers who want to be near Málaga centre without living in the thick of it. You can walk to the beach, but you are set back from the immediate coastal strip. The motorway beneath the building brings road noise, which is the trade for fast access to the airport and the rest of the coast. Families will find schools within a reasonable drive, and golfers have Club de Golf Málaga Parador 17 minutes away.

Luxy Sancha: Frequently Asked Questions

Málaga is 1.5 kilometres away, about six minutes by car. The location in Málaga Este puts you close enough for daily errands and evening meals without the parking and traffic of the centre itself. The proximity also means you can reach the train station, bus connections and the main shopping streets quickly.

Playa de los Baños del Carmen is 1.9 kilometres away, a 24 minute walk or four minutes by car. The route is manageable on foot for a morning run or an evening stroll, but most residents drive when carrying beach kit or heading out in the heat of summer.

The development has an infinity pool that faces the sea. Some apartments also have private pools, while others share the communal facility. The communal pool is maintained through service charges, so you avoid the upkeep of a private one but lose the option to use it outside shared hours.

The building sits above the AP-7 motorway, so road noise is present. The trade is fast access to Málaga Airport in 30 minutes and straightforward routes west to Marbella or east to Nerja. Double glazing and the orientation of the apartment make a difference to how much you hear, but this is not a quiet hillside setting.

The British School of Málaga is 2.8 kilometres away, about 13 minutes by car. Hospital Vithas Parque San Antonio is 700 metres from the development, and a supermarket is 100 metres away. The location is close to schools on the eastern side of Málaga, so the morning run is shorter than it would be from the beaches further west.

Buying off-plan in Málaga Este 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.
