About this property

Overview

Aldea Hills in Manilva offers a small collection of semi-detached houses and a detached villa, built as individual homes rather than a repeating block. The semi-detached houses give you two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 128 square metres, with a basement that gets natural light and can be used as extra living space or storage. The detached villa stretches to three bedrooms, three bathrooms and just over 200 square metres, with a two-car garage in the basement. Every home has a private garden and a terrace, and all face south or west to catch sea views towards Gibraltar and the African coast.

Manilva sits at the western edge of the Costa del Sol, just before the border with Cádiz province. The town centre is a ten-minute drive inland, and the coast here is quieter than Estepona or Marbella further east. Sotogrande and its marina are twenty minutes west, and the stretch of beach below Manilva, around Sabinillas and the port, has a mix of Spanish bars and low-rise apartment buildings rather than resort hotels. You need a car for shopping and most services, though there are smaller supermarkets and restaurants within a few kilometres.

The houses sit on sloping plots, which is why the basements get daylight, but it also means the gardens are tiered rather than flat. The semi-detached layout shares one wall, so you have neighbours on one side but not the other. The size range suits couples or small families who want outdoor space without maintaining a large plot. The detached villa works for anyone needing a third bedroom or a bigger garage. Manilva lacks the beach clubs and golf courses that line the coast further east, so this is a quieter base rather than a resort location.

CASAS PAREADAS Y VILLA ALDEA HILLS: Frequently Asked Questions

The semi-detached houses are 128 square metres with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the detached villa is just over 200 square metres with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. All homes include a basement with natural light, which you can use as extra living space or storage. The villa also has a two-car garage in the basement.

The beach is a drive rather than a walk, as Aldea Hills sits on higher ground above the coast. The nearest stretch of beach is around Sabinillas and the port below Manilva, a few kilometres away. You will need a car to reach it.

Every home has a private garden and a terrace, so you are responsible for your own upkeep. The gardens are tiered rather than flat because the plots slope, which gives the basements their daylight. The semi-detached houses share one wall but each has its own separate outdoor area.

Not much. Manilva town centre is a ten-minute drive inland, and you need a car for most shopping and services. There are smaller supermarkets and restaurants within a few kilometres, but this is not a location where you can walk to daily amenities.

It suits either, depending on whether you mind the car dependency. The homes are built as individual houses with proper living space and storage, which works for permanent use. But Manilva is quieter than the resort towns further east, with fewer facilities close by, so it feels more like a residential base than a holiday location.

Buying off-plan in Manilva 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.
