About this property

Overview

Monte Sancha 28 delivers two-bedroom apartments with exceptional sea views from a hillside location above the AP-7 in Málaga Este. The development comprises just three homes. Each apartment measures 118 square metres inside, with terraces ranging from 49 to 71 square metres that face the Mediterranean. The 180-degree views take in the coastline and the sea, which you see from both inside and outside. This is not a large building with dozens of units, so you have very few neighbours.

The location sits on the slopes of Monte Sancha, a residential quarter with established streets and older buildings. You are 23 minutes on foot from Playa de los Baños del Carmen, close enough to walk but far enough to avoid the crowds that gather directly on the seafront. A Mercadona is 3 minutes away on foot, Málaga city centre is 7 minutes by car, and the airport is 31 minutes. The British School of Málaga is 13 minutes by car, and Hospital Vithas Parque San Antonio is 2 minutes away. Monte Sancha itself has a different character to the beachside neighbourhoods, quieter and more residential, though the hill means you need a car for most errands beyond the nearest supermarket.

The interiors are fitted with materials from Porcelanosa, and the homes include integrated home automation to control lighting, climate and security. Each apartment comes with a garage space or parking. The setting works for buyers who want sea views and proximity to the beach without living in a high-rise or a resort complex. The drawback is the hillside location, which makes walking anywhere except the nearest shops impractical. You gain privacy and views, but you lose the convenience of a flat neighbourhood with everything within a short walk.

Monte Sancha 28: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de los Baños del Carmen is 23 minutes on foot. The walk is uphill on the return, so most residents drive or use the beach as occasional exercise rather than a daily destination. The hillside location means you see the sea from every terrace, but reaching it requires more effort than a flat beachside address.

Terraces range from 49 to 71 square metres. That variation matters because the larger terraces are big enough for outdoor dining and lounging, while the smaller ones still give you plenty of space but less room for multiple seating areas. All terraces face the sea and share the same 180-degree coastal views.

A supermarket is 3 minutes away on foot, but the hillside setting makes everything else easier by car. Málaga Este is not a flat neighbourhood, so walking to the marina, the beach or the town centre means tackling slopes that most people avoid in the heat. The location suits drivers who value views and quiet over walkable errands.

The British School of Málaga is 13 minutes by car, and Hospital Vithas Parque San Antonio is 2 minutes away. The development itself has only three homes, so there are no other children on site and no communal facilities. Families who need those will find larger complexes with pools and play areas elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.

Málaga Airport is 31 minutes by car, which is manageable for occasional visits but longer than the 15 to 20 minutes you get from developments closer to the coast road. The low number of units means no wear from short-term renters, and the hillside quiet suits lock-up-and-leave owners who prefer privacy over resort facilities.

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.
