About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Manilva, Costa del Sol. The 52-square-metre terrace commands uninterrupted Mediterranean panoramas and extends the 31-square-metre open-plan living space into an outdoor room large enough for full dining and lounge zones.
Inside, the 109-square-metre layout separates two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, each fitted with walk-in showers and wall-hung sanitaryware. The kitchen runs along one wall of the living area with integrated appliances and stone worktops. Floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room frames the sea view and opens directly onto the terrace. One underground parking space is included, and the apartment remains unfurnished, with completion scheduled for 2026. Air conditioning is pre-installed throughout, and the bathrooms feature underfloor heating.
Pure Sun Residences sits 400 metres uphill from Manilva's beachfront, with the communal pool, spa and gym occupying the ground-floor level. The complex is 3 kilometres west of Sotogrande Marina, a 6-minute drive along the A-7 coast road. Manilva village centre, with its weekly market and tapas bars around Plaza de la Vendimia, lies 2 kilometres inland. The property is being sold as a resale despite never having been occupied, which qualifies it for the 7 per cent transfer tax rather than the 10 per cent VAT applied to new builds in Andalucía. The terrace includes a pre-installed water point for an outdoor kitchen.

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.
