About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Sierra Blanca, Costa del Sol. The elevated position overlooks a natural green wash with mature Mediterranean vegetation, creating uninterrupted sightlines towards the sea without the density of neighbouring buildings.
The 157sqm interior includes a living and dining area that opens directly onto the 37sqm main terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass. The principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and terrace access, whilst the second bedroom also has its own en-suite. A third bathroom serves guests. The apartment comes fully furnished and includes a private parking space within the complex. The kitchen is fitted and integrated into the open-plan living space, with direct sightlines to the terrace and views beyond.
Condado de Sierra Blanca is a gated community with 24-hour security, communal pools, and landscaped gardens set into the hillside above Marbella's Golden Mile. The development sits approximately five minutes by car from the Golden Mile itself and seven minutes from the nearest beach access. Sierra Blanca's elevated roads provide quick connections to central Marbella whilst maintaining separation from coastal traffic, with the property positioned on one of the quieter interior streets within the complex. The apartment's ground-floor aspect faces the natural wash rather than paved pathways, meaning the primary outlook from both the living area and main terrace is greenery and distance rather than circulation routes or adjacent units.

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