About this property

Overview

Rayos Del Sol is a 36-apartment development in El Chaparral, sitting between the AP-7 motorway and the Mediterranean on frontline golf land. The apartments are two or three bedrooms with two bathrooms, ranging from 76 to 97 square metres built. Terrace sizes go from 23 square metres to 213 square metres, which means the range includes both standard units and penthouse or ground-floor apartments with wraparound terraces or gardens. The smaller layouts suit couples or investors after manageable holiday homes, while the upper end gives families proper outdoor space for year-round living or extended stays.

The location puts you directly on the beach side of the motorway, so you reach the Mediterranean without crossing major traffic routes. Mercadona is a six-minute drive for groceries, Málaga Airport is 44 minutes along the coast road, and the motorway entrance gives you Fuengirola or Marbella in either direction. You are on a golf course, so the immediate surroundings are fairways and low-density residential streets rather than high-street bustle. For daily coffee or a bakery within walking distance, you will need a car.

The development is gated with separate pools for adults and children, a gym and a golf practice green. South or east orientation means morning or afternoon sun on your terrace, and sea, mountain or golf views depending on which floor and which way your apartment faces. The communal areas and security suit buyers wanting a managed complex they can lock up and leave between visits, or families after poolside amenities without maintaining a garden themselves.

The drawback is that frontline golf means quiet surroundings but less street life. You are not in a town centre, so restaurants and shops need a short drive rather than a walk downstairs. If you want to step out for an evening stroll to a plaza or a row of tapas bars, this is not that setting. It works for buyers who prioritise space, views and beach access over urban convenience, and who are comfortable using a car for most errands.

Rayos Del Sol: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Charcón is 0.7 kilometres away. That is a ten-minute walk along flat roads, and because the development sits on the beach side of the AP-7 motorway you reach the sand without crossing major traffic routes. The beach is sand and shingle, backed by low-rise development rather than high-street cafés.

Terraces range from 23 square metres to 213 square metres. The smaller terraces belong to mid-floor apartments and give you space for a table and chairs. The larger figures are wraparound terraces on penthouses or ground-floor gardens, which turn the outdoor space into a second living area and explain why some units cost substantially more than others.

The apartments sit on golf land, so your outlook is fairways, bunkers and low-density villas rather than streets or neighbouring buildings. Views include the course, the sea or the mountains depending on floor and orientation. The trade-off is that you are not in a town centre, so restaurants and shops need a car rather than a walk.

The beach is a ten-minute walk. The rest needs a car. Mercadona is 2.1 kilometres away, which is a six-minute drive, and the immediate area is golf course and residential streets rather than high-street shops or cafés. El Chaparral suits buyers who want quiet surroundings and do not mind driving for groceries or dinner.

Málaga Airport is 23 kilometres away, about 44 minutes by car along the coast road. That makes the development practical for lock-up-and-leave use, because you can land, collect a car and reach your apartment within an hour. The motorway entrance also gives you Fuengirola or Marbella in either direction.

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.
