About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Manilva, Costa del Sol. The southwest-facing position delivers unobstructed views across the Mediterranean from both the master bedroom and the main living terrace, which extends 48 square metres and features raised wooden decking with glass curtains for year-round use.
Inside the 109-square-metre layout, the master bedroom opens directly onto the enclosed terrace, while the second bedroom accesses a separate southwest-facing terrace that catches afternoon sun. Both bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms fitted with walk-in showers. The living and dining area connects to a fully equipped independent kitchen, which in turn leads to a climate-controlled terrace suitable for dining in any season. Additional terrace space off the master bedroom provides a second outdoor zone with the same coastal outlook. The apartment was built in 2009 and remains in excellent condition, with refurbished bathrooms and high-specification kitchen fittings throughout.
Duquesa Village is a gated complex in Manilva with communal swimming pool, pádel courts and 24-hour security. The development sits 800 metres from Puerto de la Duquesa, a working marina with waterfront restaurants and a weekly market. Estepona town centre lies 15 minutes by car to the northeast, while the Gibraltar border crossing is 20 minutes southwest along the coastal road.

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