About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment in Marbella, Costa del Sol. Built in 2023, this property occupies a modern four-unit building in the El Ingenio neighbourhood of San Pedro de Alcántara, where contemporary construction standards meet practical daily living. The apartment spans 52 square metres of built space with a 2-square-metre terrace, delivered fully furnished and finished to a specification that includes an open-plan white designer kitchen and fitted wardrobes in the bedroom.
Inside, the layout centres on a light-filled living area that flows directly into the kitchen zone, creating a single social space without corridors or wasted circulation. The bedroom provides storage through large built-in wardrobes that run wall-to-wall, whilst the bathroom features modern fittings installed as part of the original 2023 build. The terrace extends from the living area, adding outdoor space without requiring ground-floor access. Every surface and fixture reflects the building's recent completion, with no remedial work or updating needed before occupation.
El Ingenio sits in San Pedro de Alcántara, a location that places the beach within a short walk and surrounds the building with supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés. The property stands minutes on foot from the San Pedro promenade, where the beachfront stretches west towards Estepona and east into central Marbella. The building itself contains just three other apartments, limiting shared-space traffic and keeping communal areas quiet throughout the year.

Buying this apartment in Marbella
Can foreigners buy property in Marbella?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Marbella. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Marbella?
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.
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.
