About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This 50sqm residence sits on the frontline of the beach, where the terrace opens directly onto sea views and the sound of waves becomes part of daily life. The south-facing aspect ensures natural light throughout the day, while the 8sqm covered terrace extends the living space outdoors for morning coffee or evening meals with the Mediterranean as a backdrop.
Inside, the apartment is fully furnished and fitted with air conditioning for year-round comfort. The kitchen comes fully equipped, and fitted wardrobes in the bedroom maximise storage without encroaching on floor space. A lift provides access to the floor, and the building includes entry phone security and fibre optic connectivity. Residents share a communal pool with a separate children's pool, and one parking space is allocated to the property. Double glazing keeps the interiors quiet despite the proximity to the promenade, and the gated complex offers controlled access.
The location places you within walking distance of Marbella's marina and the old town centre, both less than 10 minutes on foot. Shops, restaurants and the port are all close by, with public transport links and a courtesy bus serving the beachfront area. The building is adapted for reduced mobility access, and the promenade stretches in both directions for morning runs or evening strolls along the waterfront.

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.
