About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence sits directly on the sand, offering immediate access to the promenade and beach from the gated Marina de La Duquesa complex. The 15sqm terrace opens straight onto communal gardens that lead to the shore.
Inside, 70sqm of living space includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, delivered fully furnished and ready to occupy. The north-east orientation brings morning light into the main rooms without the intensity of southern exposure. The apartment includes one parking space within the secure complex, which provides four large swimming pools, two padel courts, a gym, and tennis facilities across landscaped grounds. Built in 2002 and maintained in good condition, the layout maximises the connection between interior rooms and the outdoor terrace.
Marina de La Duquesa sits two minutes on foot from La Duquesa marina, a working harbour lined with shops, restaurants, and bars that stays active year-round. The promenade extends five minutes further to Castillo, a fishing village known for its seafood restaurants and quieter atmosphere. The complex's gated entry and 24-hour security serve residents across multiple low-rise blocks, all positioned within 50 metres of the beach. Championship golf courses operate within a 10-minute drive along the coast, and the marina offers boat moorings, sailing schools, and dive centres for those drawn to water-based activities.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in La Duquesa
Can foreigners buy property in La Duquesa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in La Duquesa. 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 La Duquesa?
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.
