About this property
Overview
These are three-bedroom semi-detached villas of 124 square metres with private gardens and two bathrooms. The layout is compact and the garden size will be determined by the plot, so if you need a large outdoor space or more than three bedrooms, this is not the right fit. The homes share communal facilities including a pool, a gym and a co-working space, which suits buyers who value those amenities without maintaining them individually.
The development sits in Mijas, inland from the coast, facing a pine forest. The beaches are ten minutes by car, Málaga Airport twenty minutes. This is not a walking neighbourhood. You will need a car for most errands, though the Costa del Sol Park, a large public green space with leisure facilities, is 800 metres away. The location offers quiet surroundings and quick access to the coast and airport, but you are not in a village centre or within strolling distance of shops and restaurants.
The communal areas are more extensive than in most villa developments of this size, with the co-working space and social club aimed at buyers working remotely or looking for a year-round community rather than a holiday let. The pine forest outlook and the shared facilities define the character here. If you want a detached villa with full independence or a beachside location, this will not suit. If you value proximity to nature, good transport links and a balance between private space and communal amenities, the layout and setting make sense.

SAVIA FASE I: Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the villas?
Each villa is 124 square metres with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The layout is compact and semi-detached, so if you need more than three bedrooms or a large footprint, the size will not work. The private garden size varies by plot.
Is the beach within walking distance?
The beaches are ten minutes away by car, not on foot. This is an inland location in Mijas facing a pine forest, so you will need a car for the coast. The Costa del Sol Park, a public green space with leisure facilities, is 800 metres from the development and walkable.
Do the villas have private gardens?
Yes, each villa has a private garden. The size depends on which plot you choose. The development also offers communal facilities including a pool, a gym and a co-working space, which means you have private outdoor space but share the upkeep of the pool and larger amenities with other residents.
What is nearby for families?
You will need a car for schools, health care and shops. This is not a village centre or a walking neighbourhood. Málaga and the larger towns along the Costa del Sol, where you will find international schools and hospitals, are a short drive away. The location suits families who want quiet surroundings and do not mind driving for daily errands.
Does this work as a holiday home?
The co-working space and social club are designed for year-round living and remote workers rather than short holiday stays. The airport is twenty minutes away, which makes it accessible, but the communal facilities and inland setting suit buyers looking for a permanent or long-term base more than a lock-up-and-leave arrangement.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Mijas 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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Mijas?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
