About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This duplex occupies the entire top floor of a low-rise building, crowned by a 97sqm rooftop terrace where a private swimming pool commands west-facing views across the city. The layout spreads across two levels, delivering separation between living and sleeping zones that few flats in central Marbella can match.
Inside, 112sqm of built space includes an open-plan kitchen and living area that extends the full width of the property, two double bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A dedicated storage room provides practical space often absent in coastal apartments. The west orientation floods the main living areas with afternoon light, whilst the rooftop terrace offers enough room for dining furniture, loungers, and the pool without feeling cramped. The property comes fully furnished, and a lift serves all floors in the 1982-built block.
The building sits in a well-maintained development with two communal pools plus a separate children's pool, and community fees remain notably low for the location. Marbella's old town, with its network of pedestrian streets and Plaza de los Naranjos, lies approximately 800 metres away on foot. Short-term rentals are permitted by the community, making this a viable option for owners seeking rental income during periods of non-use.

Buying this penthouse in Marbella
Can foreigners buy property in Marbella?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Marbella. 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 Marbella?
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.
