About this property
Overview
Sira Homes is a small collection of 21 apartments in Elviria, where the built sizes run from 131 to 184 square metres and the terraces are genuinely large, from 44 to 85 square metres. The two-bedroom homes suit couples or small families who want space and outdoor living without maintaining a villa.
The three-bedroom layouts work for larger families, with sizes that allow proper separation between rooms. Every apartment comes with a garage space, and the ground floors have private gardens of 172 square metres, while the upper floors gain the views. The southwest orientation and the generous terrace dimensions mean these are homes designed around outdoor use, not token balconies.
The setting is residential and quiet, on the Elviria side of the AP-7 motorway. You are close to the beach, with Playa de Artola seven minutes by car, but not within walking distance of it. Santa María Golf & Country Club is two minutes away, and three other courses are nearby, so this suits golfers. Families have English International College five minutes away and the day-to-day shops and restaurants of Elviria within a short drive. Marbella town centre is 16 minutes, Málaga Airport 50 minutes. You will need a car here. The surrounding area is green, with forests and golf courses giving you country and mountain views alongside the sea views from the upper floors.
The development includes a wellness hub with a gym, sauna and hammam, plus outdoor fitness space. The communal gardens are planted with native species and the design follows BREEAM environmental standards. The facilities and the scale make this a quiet, low-density project rather than a high-turnover resort complex. The drawback is the same as the appeal: Elviria is peaceful and green, but it sits away from the busier coastal strips, so if you want to walk to bars and beaches, this is the wrong place.

Sira Homes: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Elviria?
Playa de Artola is 2.3 kilometres away, about seven minutes by car. The distance and the terrain mean walking is not practical, so a car is necessary for beach visits. The coastal path and dune system at Artola are protected, which keeps that stretch quiet even in summer.
What views do the apartments have?
The upper-floor apartments face southwest and gain sea, mountain and country views, with forests and golf courses in the foreground. Ground-floor homes look onto their private gardens and the communal landscaping. The southwest orientation means afternoon and evening sun on the terraces year-round.
Do the apartments have private gardens or shared spaces?
Ground-floor apartments come with private gardens of 172 square metres, which you maintain yourself. Upper floors have large terraces but no private garden, and share the communal landscaping. Both types include garage parking and access to the wellness facilities and outdoor fitness areas.
Is Elviria within reach of international schools?
English International College is 2.2 kilometres away, about five minutes by car. The location in Elviria puts you close enough for the school run without living on top of it. Healthcare is covered by Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol, nine minutes away, and day-to-day shops are six minutes by car.
What does the golf setting mean day to day?
Santa María Golf & Country Club is 600 metres away, reachable in two minutes, and three other courses sit within a short drive. The golf presence keeps the area green and low-rise, but it also means you are in a residential pocket rather than a walkable town centre. Everything except the golf requires a car.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Elviria 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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Elviria?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
