About this property

Overview

San Federico 5 sits above the AP-7 in Málaga Este, where the land begins to rise towards the mountains. These are multi-storey townhouses, ranging from three to four bedrooms and spanning 253 to 344 square metres built. The larger homes give you room to spread out across multiple floors, while the smallest still offers substantial family space. Terraces run from 39 to 136 square metres, and the southeast orientation means morning and early afternoon sun. Sea views reach out from the upper floors and terraces, though you are not on the beachfront itself. Plot sizes vary widely, from 14 to 112 square metres, so check which layout you are looking at.

The location puts you a nine-minute walk from Aldi and within reach of schools and the marina at Málaga. The airport is 13 kilometres away, about 35 minutes by car, which matters if you travel often or rent the property out. You are close to the coast and to Málaga city, but this is not a beachside street. You will drive to the beach, to larger shops, and to most amenities. The AP-7 is very near, which speeds up journeys but brings road noise to the immediate area.

These homes suit families who want space and sea views within reach of the airport, or investors looking for a rental property that combines size with decent access. The aerothermal system and photovoltaic panels are standard, and finishes come from Porcelanosa. The drawback is the location. You are neither in the town centre nor on the sand, so you rely on a car for most trips. If you want to walk to the beach or to a high street, look elsewhere.

San Federico 5: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de las Acacias is 0.9 kilometres away. That is too far to walk comfortably with children or beach kit, so you will drive. The proximity to the AP-7 makes car journeys quick, but this is not a beachfront development and you will not stroll to the sand.

Built areas run from 253 to 344 square metres across three or four bedrooms. The larger layouts spread over multiple floors and include terraces from 39 to 136 square metres. Plot sizes vary dramatically, from 14 to 112 square metres, so check the specific unit if outdoor ground-level space matters to you.

All units face southeast. You get morning and early afternoon sun on the terraces, with sea views from the upper floors. The orientation avoids the hottest part of the day in summer, though it also means less evening light on outdoor spaces.

The airport is 13 kilometres away, about 35 minutes by car. That makes San Federico 5 practical for lock-up-and-leave use or for tenants who fly in regularly. The drive is straightforward, and the airport proximity adds rental appeal if you plan to let the property.

An Aldi supermarket is nine minutes on foot, but most other amenities need a car. Schools and the marina are nearby, yet this part of Málaga Este sits above the motorway rather than in the town centre, so daily errands usually mean driving.

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.
