About this property

Overview

Atria Phase 1 offers two and three-bedroom apartments between 84 and 132 square metres, with terraces from 24 to 136 square metres. The larger terraces run into triple-figure territory, giving you outdoor space that can function as a genuine extension of the living area rather than somewhere to stand a couple of chairs. The three-bedroom layouts reach 132 square metres inside, which leaves room for proper separation between the sleeping areas and the living spaces. Ground floor apartments come with 33 square metres of private garden. All apartments include a parking space and a storage room in the basement, which matters if you keep sports equipment, suitcases or anything else that clogs a Spanish apartment.

The development sits on the seaward side of the AP-7 in La Alcaidesa, with direct motorway access from the site. Gibraltar Airport is 9.7 kilometres away, a 21-minute drive, so this suits anyone who flies to and from the Rock regularly or whose work links to Gibraltar. Mercadona is nine minutes away by car, and the Mediterranean is within walking distance. The location is functional rather than atmospheric. You are close to the beach without being on a seafront promenade, and close to golf courses without backing directly onto fairways. The AP-7 is audible from some parts of the development, which is the trade-off for motorway convenience.

La Alcaidesa lacks the restaurant density or evening life of Estepona or Marbella. You drive for most errands, and the area is quiet outside the golf season. This works if you want a low-key coastal base near Gibraltar and do not need much within walking distance beyond the sea. It does not work if you want a neighbourhood you can explore on foot or if motorway noise is a problem for you.

ATRIA - PHASE 1: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de La Alcaidesa is 1.9 kilometres away, about four minutes by car. The Mediterranean is within walking distance from the development, though you are not on a seafront promenade. The setting is residential and functional rather than resort-style, with the beach accessible but not the primary focus of daily life here.

Ground floor apartments come with 33 square metres of private garden. All other apartments have terraces, ranging from 24 to 136 square metres. The larger terraces are big enough to set up distinct outdoor zones for dining, lounging and plants, rather than just a balcony with space for two chairs.

The apartments offer sea, golf, panoramic and pool views, and all face south. South-facing orientation means good natural light throughout the day and warmth in winter. Which specific view you get depends on floor level and position within the development, with higher floors typically securing wider sea views.

You need a car for most errands. The nearest supermarket is 5.4 kilometres away, a nine-minute drive. The beach is within walking distance, but restaurants, shops and services are scattered, and the area does not have the pavement-level density that makes daily life work on foot. This suits buyers who drive as default.

La Alcaidesa sits close to several golf courses, but you are not directly overlooking fairways or dealing with stray balls. The golf presence means the area is busier during tournament weeks and quieter in the off-season. It also means the surrounding development is low-rise and green, without high-density building.

Buying off-plan in La Alcaidesa 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.
