About this property

Overview

Nubay is a beachfront development in Manilva, 639 metres from Playa de la Chullera and reachable on foot in eight minutes. These are three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments, spanning 121 to 174 square metres of interior space with terraces from 61 to 200 square metres. The larger terraces suit buyers who want outdoor space to rival the interior, and the range gives you choice between something manageable and something generous enough for dining areas, loungers and planting.

The setting puts the beach within walking distance while keeping shops and schools in reach by car. Eroski supermarket is 12 minutes on foot. Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria San Luis de Sabinillas is four minutes by car, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina is five minutes away. Gibraltar Airport is 36 minutes along the coast. This stretch of Manilva sits quieter than the busier towns further east, which means fewer restaurants and bars within walking distance, but it works well for families who want the coast without the crowds.

The apartments face the sea and the communal areas include a pool and gardens. Living on the beach means salt in the air, which requires more frequent maintenance on windows, metalwork and outdoor furniture, but you have direct access to the shore and unobstructed sea views from most rooms. The layout is straightforward: three bedrooms, one typically en suite, and terraces accessible from the living areas. Parking is included.

Nubay: Frequently Asked Questions

Terraces range from 61 to 200 square metres. The smaller ones give you outdoor dining and seating without excessive upkeep. The largest stretch to three times the size, enough for separate zones, sun loungers and substantial planting, and they rival many ground-floor gardens for usable space.

Playa de la Chullera is 639 metres away, an eight-minute walk. The development sits directly on the beachfront, so you have shore access without crossing a road. That also means salt air, which accelerates corrosion on metal fixtures and requires regular cleaning of glass and outdoor furniture.

Gibraltar Airport is 23 kilometres west, a 36-minute drive along the coast road. That makes it workable for short breaks, though you will want a car at the airport or a pre-arranged transfer, because public transport between Manilva and Gibraltar is infrequent.

The beach is an eight-minute walk, and Eroski supermarket is 12 minutes on foot. Beyond that, you need a car. The nearest marina is five minutes away by road, and schools, larger shops and healthcare are all a short drive into Sabinillas or towards Estepona.

The pool and gardens are communal, which means you share maintenance costs with the other owners through service charges. You have private terrace space, but the lawns, pool and landscaping are looked after collectively, which suits buyers who want outdoor facilities without the upkeep of a detached villa.

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.
