About this property

Overview

San Federico 5 is a new development of 3 to 4-bedroom townhouses for sale in Malaga, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,500,000 to €2,100,000. This is a small-scale project where every unit includes direct sea views from private terraces, a specification that typically commands a premium in Malaga's coastal market. The development integrates photovoltaic panels as standard, generating up to 60% savings on electricity consumption, a practical consideration given Spain's rising energy costs and the size of these properties.

Built areas range from 253 to 344 m², distributed across multiple floors to maximise natural light and spatial separation. Each townhouse includes three to four bathrooms depending on bedroom count. Interiors feature Porcelanosa finishes throughout, with large-format tiles and contemporary sanitaryware. The development includes a communal swimming pool. Climate control runs on an aerothermal system for both heating and domestic hot water, reducing reliance on conventional gas or electric boilers. The architecture prioritises open-plan living areas that connect to outdoor terraces, with floor-to-ceiling glazing in principal rooms. Privacy between units has been considered in the layout, though specific garden sizes are not confirmed in available data.

Malaga's eastern coastal stretch has seen consistent demand from northern European buyers seeking year-round residence rather than holiday use, partly due to the city's international airport being 15 minutes by car. The area attracts families and semi-retired professionals who value proximity to Malaga's cultural offer, its hospitals, and international schools, while maintaining a coastal position. This is not a beachfront location in the traditional sense, properties here sit elevated above the shoreline, which explains the sea views but also means beach access involves a short drive or walk down. The surrounding area has matured over the past decade, with established infrastructure and a mix of Spanish and international residents, which supports year-round services rather than the seasonal closures common in purely tourist zones.

San Federico 5 appears to be either under construction or in the final off-plan sales phase, though completion timelines should be confirmed directly with the developer. Standard Spanish new build transactions follow a staged payment structure: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All amounts and schedules vary by developer and should be clarified in the reservation contract. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish lawyer before signing any preliminary agreement. The inclusion of photovoltaic installation as standard rather than an optional upgrade is worth noting, as retrofitting solar panels to a completed property typically costs between €8,000 and €12,000 depending on system capacity.

San Federico 5: Frequently Asked Questions

San Federico 5 is located in Malaga Este on the Costa del Sol, putting you right on the beachside with direct access to the coast. This area offers the convenience of being close to Malaga city while maintaining a more relaxed beach community atmosphere.

San Federico 5 offers townhouses ranging from 3 to 4 bedrooms with built sizes between 253 and 344 square metres. This gives you flexibility to choose a layout that suits your needs, whether you want a more compact 3-bedroom or the extra space of a 4-bedroom unit.

Yes, San Federico 5 townhouses feature sea views with a south-facing orientation, which means you get natural light throughout the day and views across the water. The beach-side location of San Federico 5 is one of its main selling points for buyers wanting that coastal lifestyle.

San Federico 5 is expected to be completed in October 2027, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your townhouse. This allows time for quality construction while giving you a defined date to plan your move to the Costa del Sol.

Buying off-plan in Malaga 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.
