About this property

Overview

This is a four-bedroom villa on an 849 square metre plot in Manilva, offering 267 square metres of built space across a main floor and a basement with natural light. The layout includes four bathrooms, and the plot accommodates a pool, garden and garage. The villa sits on a southeast-facing site, which brings morning and afternoon sun to the interior and outdoor spaces. Views reach across golf courses and countryside towards mountains, with glimpses of the Mediterranean from the elevated position.

The location sits between the AP-7 motorway and the coast, giving you direct access to the beach within walking distance while keeping you connected to the wider road network. Gibraltar Airport is 34 minutes by car, which suits buyers who travel frequently or split their time between Spain and the UK. Eroski supermarket is seven minutes away by car, and Manilva itself provides the usual range of local services without the density of larger resorts. The setting is residential rather than tourist-focused, and you will need a car for most trips beyond the immediate neighbourhood.

This works well for buyers who want a detached home with outdoor space and sea access, and who value proximity to Gibraltar Airport over being in the centre of a large town. The basement adds flexibility for guests, a home office or storage, though its appeal depends on how you plan to use the extra space. The plot size gives you room for outdoor living without the upkeep of a much larger garden, and the southeast orientation means the house gets good light throughout the day. The drawback is the car dependency: beyond the beach, you will drive to shops, restaurants and most amenities.

Tailor-Made Villa Manilva: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 600 metres away, which is a comfortable walk. The development sits between the AP-7 motorway and the coast, so you have direct pedestrian access to the Mediterranean without needing to drive. The position keeps you close to the sea while still connecting you to the motorway for longer trips.

You get a private garden and pool on an 849 square metre plot, with space for a garage. All outdoor areas belong to your villa alone, so you control the upkeep and how you use them. The southeast-facing plot means the garden and pool receive sun from morning through to late afternoon.

Gibraltar Airport is 21 kilometres away, about 34 minutes by car along the coast road. That makes it one of the more convenient airports for the western Costa del Sol. The short transfer suits buyers who travel often or use the villa as a second home, especially with direct flights to UK cities.

The elevated southeast-facing site looks across golf courses and open countryside towards mountains, with glimpses of the Mediterranean. The views are layered rather than purely coastal. You see greenery and fairways in the foreground, which keeps the outlook open even though the villa is not directly on the seafront.

Manilva has local schools, health services and the usual infrastructure of a working town rather than a resort. It sits close to larger centres like Estepona and Sotogrande, where you will find international schools and more healthcare options. The setting suits families who want a quieter base with easy access to the coast and Gibraltar, though you will drive to most activities.

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.
