About this property

Overview

Laguna Nova is a small block of 29 apartments in Las Lagunas, the area of Mijas that sits between the AP-7 and the sea. The homes range from 54 square metre one-bed apartments to 103 square metre three-bed units, with one or two bathrooms depending on the layout. The smallest homes suit singles or couples after a compact base on the coast, while the larger three-bed layouts give families enough space without stepping up to a villa. Terraces are generous at 42 square metres, and the open-plan interiors connect directly to them, which works well if you spend time outside.

The location is practical rather than resort-focused. You are steps from the Mediterranean, Mercadona is a two-minute walk for groceries, and the AP-7 is immediately accessible, so you can reach Málaga Airport in 33 minutes. This suits people who need to move around the coast or travel regularly for work. The motorway proximity means you hear traffic, but it also means you are not stuck in resort gridlock when you want to leave. Las Lagunas itself is residential and urban rather than tourist-heavy, so you get everyday shops and services without the beachfront crowds.

Orientations include north, east and south, so not every home gets the same light. The south-facing apartments will be warmer and brighter, while north-facing units stay cooler in summer but miss direct sun in winter. Views take in the sea, the street and the surrounding buildings, depending on which floor and which direction you face. The development is close to shops and close to the sea, but it is not beachfront and it is not secluded. If you want a quiet hillside or a gated resort with extensive gardens, this is not that. It is a straightforward apartment block in a connected, accessible part of the coast.

You can walk to Mercadona supermarket in just 2 minutes, which covers your daily essentials without any fuss. The location works well for families and holiday buyers who want easy motorway access without sacrificing proximity to the coast.

Laguna Nova: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Castillo is 1.9 kilometres away, which is about five minutes by car. That distance is too far to walk comfortably with beach kit, so you will need a car or be prepared to use a taxi. The development is close to the sea but not on it, so daily beach access depends on having transport.

The homes range from 54 square metres for a one-bed apartment up to 103 square metres for a three-bed unit. The difference in size is significant: the smallest layouts suit singles or couples who want a compact base, while the largest give families proper separation between bedrooms and living space. Terraces are 42 square metres across the development.

Orientations include north, east and south, so it varies by unit. South-facing apartments get direct sun through the day and stay warmer in winter, while north-facing homes remain cooler in summer but see less natural light. The east-facing units get morning sun and shade later on, which splits the difference.

Mercadona is 200 metres away, which is a two-minute walk for groceries and essentials. Beyond that, you are in a residential neighbourhood with everyday shops and services rather than tourist facilities. The beach, restaurants and leisure options are too far to reach on foot, so you will need a car for most trips.

Málaga Airport is 20 kilometres away, which takes about 33 minutes by car via the AP-7. The motorway access is direct from Las Lagunas, so the journey is straightforward and rarely delayed by coastal traffic. That makes the development practical for lock-up-and-leave use or for anyone who travels regularly.

Buying off-plan in Las Lagunas 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.
