About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This south-facing residence captures considerably more sunshine than properties in later phases, with 59 square metres of private terrace space among the largest in its development. Completed in 2026 and delivered fully furnished with over 20,000 euros worth of fixtures included, the apartment holds a valid Andalusian holiday rental licence for immediate investment returns.
The 82-square-metre interior flows across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows maximising natural light throughout the day. The expansive terrace extends the living space outdoors, providing room for dining, lounging, and entertaining under the Andalusian sun. One allocated parking space is included, and residents access a communal pool within the gated development. The property arrives in excellent condition with contemporary finishes and a turnkey specification that requires nothing further.
La Duquesa Marina sits 1.5 kilometres away, offering waterfront dining, yacht berths, and a weekly artisan market. The apartment lies within walking distance of La Duquesa Golf & Country Club, whilst Sotogrande Port is a ten-minute drive east along the coast. Three beaches are accessible within two kilometres, including Playa de la Duquesa with its chiringuitos and watersports facilities. Estepona town centre is 15 minutes by car, and Gibraltar Airport provides international connections 25 kilometres to the southwest.

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.
