About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. The south-east orientation draws morning light across a 30-square-metre terrace that frames both coastal and mountain views, extending the 88 square metres of interior living space into an outdoor room where the horizon becomes part of the daily routine.
Inside, two double bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, while the open-plan living area connects to a fully equipped kitchen. The apartment comes fully furnished and includes one parking space within the gated complex. Ground-floor positioning means direct access to pathways and gardens without stairs, and the 138-square-metre plot provides a sense of space uncommon in coastal developments. Built in 2006 and maintained in good condition, the layout separates sleeping quarters from living areas without wasted corridor space.
Duquesa Village operates with 24-hour security and concierge services, five swimming pools, a padel court, and mature sub-tropical gardens that buffer the complex from surrounding roads. La Duquesa Marina sits five minutes away by car, where a working harbour meets a string of beaches, waterfront restaurants, and twice-weekly markets. The complex sits equidistant between Estepona to the west and Marbella to the east, both reachable within 20 minutes, while Gibraltar Airport lies 30 minutes in the opposite direction.

9 questions answered
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.
