About this property

Overview

ZEW ELVIRIA is a block of duplex apartments sitting on Elviria Hill, with mountain and garden views. Each home spans two floors. The sizes range from 151 to 187 square metres built, with 130 square metres of terrace, which means these are large outdoor spaces, often extending across both levels. The two-bedroom homes suit couples or small families who want generous living areas and significant outdoor space, while the three-bedroom layouts are planned for families who need more bedrooms, and some units allow for a fourth bedroom to be added as an office or guest room.

The setting is on the sea side of the AP-7, so you are between the motorway and the coast. The immediate surroundings are pine forest, and the development sits at elevation, which gives the mountain and panoramic views. Playa de Artola is an 8-minute drive, and Puerto Cabopino marina is 10 minutes. Greenlife Golf Marbella is 3 minutes away, and several other courses are nearby. Elviria shops and restaurants are 5 minutes, and Marbella centre is 16 minutes. Málaga Airport is 50 minutes north. This is not a walkable setting. You will use a car for the beach, the marina, golf and shopping.

The complex includes four communal pools, a gym, a co-working area, and walking paths through the landscaped grounds. The architecture is contemporary and the layouts are duplex, so you have separation between living and sleeping floors. The concierge service includes a shuttle to the beach and Elviria commercial centre, which is useful given the distance from the coast.

This suits buyers who want space, both inside and on the terrace, and who are happy to drive rather than walk to the beach and amenities. The hill setting means peace and forest views, but it also means reliance on a car. Families with school-age children will find English International College 5 minutes away. Golfers and those who travel regularly through Málaga Airport will find the location practical.

ZEW ELVIRIA: Frequently Asked Questions

Built size runs from 151 to 187 square metres across two floors, with 130 square metres of terrace per home. That terrace figure is the same across the range, which is unusually large and often wraps both levels of the duplex. The two-bedroom layouts give couples or small families generous living areas, and the three-bedroom homes are planned for families who need more bedrooms, with some units offering space for a fourth bedroom to be added.

No. Playa de Artola is 2.3 kilometres away, an 8-minute drive. The development sits on Elviria Hill above the coast road, and the hillside setting means you will need a car for the beach. A concierge shuttle runs to the beach and Elviria commercial centre, which helps if you do not want to drive every trip.

Each apartment has 130 square metres of private terrace, split across the two floors of the duplex. That is your own space, not shared. The development also has four communal pools and landscaped grounds with walking paths, so you have both private and shared outdoor areas. Community fees cover the upkeep of the pools and gardens.

Málaga Airport is 32 kilometres away, about 50 minutes by car. That is manageable for weekend visits or longer stays, and the concierge service can help with arrivals and departures. The distance means this works better as a second home you visit for weeks at a time rather than frequent short breaks, though families flying in for school holidays will find the drive straightforward.

English International College is 1.2 kilometres away, a 5-minute drive, and Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol is 3.6 kilometres, about 9 minutes by car. Supermarkets are 1 kilometre away, a 6-minute drive. Elviria has shops and restaurants 5 minutes away, and Marbella town centre is 16 minutes. Everything is a short drive rather than a walk, so families here rely on a car for the school run and daily errands.

Buying off-plan in Marbella 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.
