About this property

Overview

These are substantial townhouses in a small development above the motorway in Málaga Este. With three or four bedrooms spread over 253 to 267 square metres, plus another 88 or 89 square metres of terrace, you get a lot of space. A lift runs through the house, which makes this suitable for buyers who need step-free living or plan to age in place. The plots are modest at 95 to 101 square metres, so the building footprint is large relative to the land. You are buying volume and indoor area, not a sprawling garden.

The setting is residential and set back from the coast. Sea views appear from the upper floors, but you are not on the beach itself. The AP-7 motorway runs below, which brings good road access but also traffic noise at certain times. Families who value quiet may notice this, especially on the side facing the motorway. The benefit is a short drive to the airport and easy movement along the coast.

Each townhouse includes a garage or parking, a private pool or access to a communal one, and large windows designed to pull light through the interior. Photovoltaic panels and air-source heat pumps are fitted as standard, which reduces running costs. Finishes are pitched at the upper end, and the scale of these homes means multiple living zones across the levels.

This suits buyers who want a large modern townhouse with lift access, sea glimpses and a residential feel, and who accept a location that trades beachfront proximity for more built space and better road links. The small plot means outdoor space is mostly terrace rather than garden.

Ramal de Monte Sancha 8 sits above the AP-7, towards the mountains in Málaga Este. You're positioned away from the coast road's bustle, which suits families looking for quieter residential living. Málaga Airport is a 31 minute drive away, making this convenient for frequent travelers. A Mercadona supermarket is just a 4 minute walk, so daily shopping is easy. This location works well for families who want modern townhouses with good road access but prefer a more peaceful setting away from the seafront.

Ramal de Monte Sancha 8 - Townhouses: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de los Baños del Carmen is 1.8 kilometres away, about four minutes by car. The setting is residential and inland of the motorway, so you will drive rather than walk. Upper floors look out toward the sea, but the immediate surroundings are neighbourhood streets and the road corridor below.

Each home includes 88 or 89 square metres of terrace, plus a private pool or access to a communal one. The plot itself measures 95 to 101 square metres, which leaves little room for garden once the building footprint and pool are in place. Outdoor living happens on the terraces, not on lawn.

Built area runs from 253 to 267 square metres, spread over three or four bedrooms and three or four bathrooms. A lift connects the floors, so layouts work for step-free living. Exact configurations vary across the six homes, but all deliver multiple living zones and generous room sizes.

A Mercadona supermarket sits four minutes on foot. Beyond that, the location assumes you drive: the beach, schools, marina and most coastal amenities are a few kilometres away. The motorway junction makes driving easy, but Málaga Este itself is a neighbourhood rather than a pedestrian hub.

The AP-7 runs directly below, which brings fast access to the airport and the coast but also traffic noise on the side facing the road. Upper-floor sea views are real, but the outlook includes the motorway corridor. Buyers who prioritise quiet over connectivity may find this a compromise.

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.
