About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Puerto de Cabopino, Costa del Sol. Windows wrap around multiple sides of the living spaces, framing uninterrupted views across the marina and out to the Mediterranean from several angles throughout the day.
The 82sqm interior includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with marble flooring laid throughout the main living areas. The open-plan kitchen connects directly to the lounge, which opens onto a 10sqm south-facing terrace overlooking the port. Both bedrooms benefit from natural light, though one is notably smaller and better suited as a study or dressing room. The property includes one private garage space, a practical advantage in a beachfront location where parking is limited.
This ground-floor apartment sits within the frontline port complex at Puerto de Cabopino, where the marina boardwalk leads directly to Cabopino Beach, a Blue Flag stretch of sand accessible in under two minutes on foot. The port itself holds a cluster of waterfront restaurants and a small supermarket, while Marbella town centre lies 15 kilometres west along the coastal road. The property was built in 1970 and remains in good condition, with furniture available by separate negotiation.

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