About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This south-facing ground-floor residence spans 80 square metres of interior space plus a 17-square-metre terrace, scheduled for completion in 2026. The private pool offers year-round outdoor living, whilst the ground-floor position provides direct access to surrounding gardens without the need for lifts or stairs.
Inside, the layout accommodates two double bedrooms and two full bathrooms across an open-plan design. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light throughout the day, and the south orientation ensures consistent sunshine on the terrace. The kitchen arrives unfurnished, allowing buyers to specify their own appliances and cabinetry. One underground parking space is included, with secure access from the lower level. The terrace extends the living area outdoors, with space for dining furniture and sun loungers beside the private pool.
The development sits in Manilva, 150 metres from the shoreline and within walking distance of Playa de la Duquesa. Puerto de la Duquesa marina lies 1.2 kilometres east, reachable in under 15 minutes on foot, where waterfront restaurants and yacht berths line the harbour. Estepona town centre is a 10-minute drive west along the A-7 coastal road, whilst Sotogrande and its polo fields are 15 minutes east. The property is surrounded by maintained community gardens, with pedestrian paths connecting to the beachfront promenade.

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.
