About this property

Overview

Villa 8 at Cabopino Gardens is a substantial five-bedroom villa built over 701 square metres, with 398 square metres of terrace and a 1,415-square-metre plot. The scale suits a family who needs space for visiting relatives, home offices or staff. Expect en-suite bathrooms throughout, walk-in dressing rooms, open-plan living areas and a private infinity pool. The layout is contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling glass and sightlines that take in the golf course, the Mediterranean and the mountains behind.

You are on the sea side of the motorway, a kilometre from Cabopino Beach. That distance is walkable in thirteen minutes, but most owners will drive the six. Cabopino Golf is a minute away by car. The English International College is eight minutes, Puerto Cabopino marina is seven, and Málaga Airport is forty-eight minutes. Fuengirola centre is twenty-two minutes. The surroundings are residential, quiet and low-rise, without the density of Marbella or the high-rises of Benalmádena.

Frontline golf means the view is protected, but it also means golfers passing your boundary. If you want seclusion, this is not it. The plot is generous, but you share the street with other villas, so the setting is open rather than private. The terrace area is large enough for outdoor dining, lounging by the pool and separate seating zones, which matters given how much time you will spend outside.

This works for a family who wants space, golf access and a short walk to the beach, and who will use the car for schools, shopping and airports. It does not work if you want a village within walking distance or prefer something more sheltered.

CABOPINO GARDENS - VILLA 8: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 1.1 kilometres away, which is a thirteen-minute walk or six minutes by car. That distance is short enough to manage on foot in good weather, though most families with young children or beach kit will drive. Puerto Cabopino marina sits at the same distance and takes seven minutes by car.

You look straight onto Cabopino golf course, which is a hundred metres from the villa and takes a minute to reach by car. The view across the fairway is permanent because the course cannot be built on, but golfers will pass close to your plot boundary. That means less seclusion than a villa set further back or screened by other buildings.

The beach is a thirteen-minute walk. Beyond that, you will need a car. The nearest supermarket is 1.3 kilometres away, which takes eight minutes by car, and Fuengirola is twenty-two minutes for broader shopping and services. Cabopino itself is a low-density residential area rather than a town centre.

English International College is 5 kilometres away and takes eight minutes by car. The nearest hospital, Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol, is 7.8 kilometres and twelve minutes by car. Day-to-day shopping requires a short drive, and Fuengirola offers larger supermarkets, pharmacies and other services twenty-two minutes away.

Málaga Airport is thirty kilometres away and takes forty-eight minutes by car. That makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use, though not as convenient as developments closer to the airport. The route is straightforward, mostly motorway, and direct enough for frequent trips.

Buying off-plan in Cabopino 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.
