About this property

Overview

Can Cayú is a four-bedroom villa on a 950 square metre plot in Marbesa, rebuilt from an existing Andalusian house into a contemporary family home with 400 square metres of living space. The master suite takes the entire first floor, with a lounge area, bathroom and an outdoor shower terrace. There is also a flexible space under the roof that can serve as a fifth bedroom, office or gym. The ground floor opens onto terraces, a private pool and a mature garden with palms, giving the property an established feel rather than a raw new build.

The plot sits on the sea side of the motorway, 794 metres from Playa de Artola, which you can reach on foot in 10 minutes or by car in four. A Dia supermarket is three minutes' walk away. Cabopino golf is nine minutes by car, the English International College seven minutes, and Marbella town centre 18 minutes. The villa backs onto a small park, so you have green space behind and no neighbours on that side. From the street you can walk or cycle directly onto the coastal path towards Cabopino or Elviria.

This suits buyers who want a manageable villa close to the beach without being in a complex, and who value a layout that feels more like a reimagined older property than a spec build. The tradeoff is that Marbesa sits between destinations rather than being one itself. You will drive to restaurants, schools and most shops. The setting is quiet and green, but it relies on the car for anything beyond the beach and the corner shop.

Can Cayú: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Artola is 794 metres away, a ten-minute walk or four minutes by car. The villa sits on the sea side of the motorway, and from the street you can walk or cycle directly onto the coastal path towards Cabopino or Elviria.

The villa offers 400 square metres of living space across four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The master suite takes the entire first floor, with a lounge, bathroom and outdoor shower terrace. There is also a flexible rooftop space that can serve as a fifth bedroom, office or gym, and the ground floor opens onto terraces and the garden.

The English International College is 3.3 kilometres away, about seven minutes by car. A hospital is eleven minutes by car, and a Dia supermarket is a three-minute walk. You will need a car for schools and most shops, as Marbesa sits between destinations rather than being a hub itself.

Yes, both are private. The 950 square metre plot includes a pool and mature garden with palms, giving the property an established feel. The villa backs onto a small park, so you have green space behind and no neighbours on that side. All upkeep and pool maintenance are your responsibility.

Málaga Airport is 31 kilometres from Marbesa, about 47 minutes by car. That makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use, though you will want a hire car or your own vehicle waiting, as the area relies on driving for most errands beyond the beach.

Buying off-plan in Marbesa 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.
