About this property

Overview

Medblue offers two and three-bedroom apartments on raised ground in Altos de los Monteros, positioned above the AP-7 motorway with the mountains behind. The built areas run from 84 square metres up to 156 square metres, so the range takes in compact two-bedroom layouts suitable for a couple or small family, and larger three-bedroom homes that work for permanent residents. Terraces are large, the maximum reaching 121 square metres, and many apartments face the sea with panoramic views across the coast.

The setting sits thirteen minutes by car from the nearest beach, which means coastal access without being in the thick of beachside density. Marbella town centre is nineteen minutes away, and the Aldi supermarket takes twelve minutes to reach, so regular shopping requires a car. Greenlife Golf is twenty minutes away, and the English International College sits at the same distance, both practical for families with school-age children or golfers using the course regularly. Málaga Airport is 56 minutes by car, a manageable run for frequent travel.

The communal facilities include a swimming pool, gym, spa and co-working space, along with a pool bar and landscaped areas, which suits buyers working remotely or spending extended periods here. The apartments themselves have open layouts and the specification uses quality materials throughout. Every home comes with either a private or communal pool, a garden, and garage or parking space included.

This is a mountain-side location that trades immediate beach access for altitude, views and space. It suits buyers who want a car-dependent base with golf and international schooling nearby, but it will not work for anyone expecting to walk to restaurants, supermarkets or the sea. The motorway runs below, so road noise is a factor worth checking during a site visit.

Medblue FASE I, II & III: Frequently Asked Questions

Built areas range from 84 square metres to 156 square metres, with terraces up to 121 square metres. The smaller two-bedroom layouts suit couples or small families, while the larger three-bedroom apartments provide enough space for permanent living with home offices or guest rooms.

No, the nearest beach is 2.7 kilometres away, about 13 minutes by car. The development sits on raised ground inland of the AP-7 motorway, so coastal access requires driving. That distance keeps you clear of beachside crowds but makes a car essential for any trip to the sea.

The English International College is 5.1 kilometres away, about 20 minutes by car, and the Hospital Universitario Costa del Sol is 2.6 kilometres from the development, reachable in 13 minutes. The nearest supermarket sits 2.4 kilometres away, a 12-minute drive, so all routine errands need a car.

Many apartments face the sea with panoramic views across the Costa del Sol coastline. The development sits on raised ground in Altos de los Monteros, which gives the higher floors and south-facing units long sightlines over the rooftops below towards the Mediterranean.

Málaga Airport is 35 kilometres away, about 56 minutes by car. That makes weekend trips and frequent international travel straightforward, though the drive takes close to an hour each way, which matters if you are catching early flights or arriving late at night.

Buying off-plan in Altos De Los Monteros 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.
