About this property

Overview

Alexandra's Dream is a collection of three-bedroom townhouses in El Chaparral, set among pine-covered hills 662 metres from Playa del Charcón and Playa Marina. You can walk to the beach in eight minutes. The homes range from 198 to 381 square metres, with terraces from 65 to 122 square metres. The larger townhouses at the top of that range offer rooftop solariums where you face the sea or the hills behind, depending on whether the home is south or south-west facing. The smaller homes at 198 square metres are compact for three bedrooms but work for couples or small families who want outdoor space without paying for rooms they will not use.

The layouts are open plan, with floor-to-ceiling glass connecting the living areas to private gardens or terraces. Each home has either a private pool or access to a communal one, a garage or parking space, and views over gardens or the shared pool. The scheme includes a gym, sauna and jacuzzi, which suit buyers who want those facilities on site rather than joining a club in town.

El Chaparral sits on the coast side of the AP-7, close to the forest and shops but still within an urbanisation rather than the centre of a town. Fuengirola is 17 minutes away by car for the marina and a fuller range of restaurants. El Chaparral Golf Club is six minutes by car, and Málaga Airport is 45 minutes, which makes this practical for frequent travel. The location suits families wanting a garden, beach access and a school run to St Anthony's College, which is 15 minutes away. It also works for golfers who want a base near several courses without the higher density of Fuengirola or Marbella.

The drawback is that you need a car for almost everything beyond the beach. Shops are close, but not walking distance for a weekly shop, and the urbanisation setting means less street life than you would find closer to a town centre.

Alexandra's Dream: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Charcón and Playa Marina are 662 metres away, which is an eight-minute walk. The beach is sandy and backed by low-rise development, so you can reach it on foot without crossing a main road. This makes El Chaparral practical for daily sea swimming or walking the shore before breakfast.

The homes range from 198 to 381 square metres, with terraces from 65 to 122 square metres. The smaller townhouses suit couples or small families who want three bedrooms and outdoor space without paying for unused rooms. The larger homes at the top of the range include rooftop solariums where you can sit facing the sea or the hills.

Each home has either a private pool in its garden or access to a communal pool. The private pools mean you control the upkeep and the space is yours alone. The communal option reduces maintenance and gives you the gym, sauna and jacuzzi that come with the shared facilities.

Málaga Airport is 23 kilometres away, about 45 minutes by car. The drive uses the AP-7 toll motorway, which is direct and predictable. That timing makes the development practical for frequent travel or for lock-up-and-leave use if you split time between here and another country.

The beach is an eight-minute walk. Everything else requires a car: shops are two kilometres away, the golf club is 0.9 kilometres, and Fuengirola is 4.1 kilometres. El Chaparral sits within an urbanisation close to forest and the coast, but it is not a town centre where you can walk to restaurants or a market.

Buying off-plan in El Chaparral 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.
