About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. The 30-square-metre terrace captures uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean, a private vantage point elevated enough to watch the horizon shift colour at dusk whilst remaining close to ground level for easy garden access.
Inside, 90 square metres of living space divides into two double bedrooms and two full bathrooms, each fitted with contemporary fixtures. The open-plan lounge connects directly to the terrace through full-width glass doors, extending the usable space outward during warmer months. The kitchen sits adjacent to the main living area, with worktop space sufficient for daily preparation and integrated storage along one wall. One allocated parking space is included, positioned within the gated complex perimeter. The property was completed in 2005 and remains in good structural condition throughout.
Los Granados occupies a frontline beach position, with the communal pool and manicured gardens lying between the apartment and the sand. The complex sits immediately adjacent to La Duquesa Marina, a five-minute walk along the promenade, where restaurants and provisioning shops operate year-round. The port's western breakwater marks the beginning of a continuous coastal path that runs uninterrupted for three kilometres toward Sotogrande. Ground-floor access opens directly onto the communal lawn, eliminating the need for stairs or lifts when carrying beach equipment or shopping.

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.
