About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Manilva, Costa del Sol. The Mediterranean sits just steps from the front door, delivering direct beach access that few properties on this stretch of coast can match. Renovated four years ago to a high standard, the interior combines contemporary finishes with a layout designed for coastal living.
Inside, 120 square metres of living space includes two generously proportioned bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. The original three-bedroom floor plan was reconfigured during the renovation, though reinstating the third bedroom remains straightforward for buyers who prefer it. A 25-square-metre terrace extends the living area outdoors, while the property comes fully furnished and ready for immediate use. One parking space is included, and residents share access to a communal pool. The condition throughout is excellent, reflecting the quality of the 2020 refurbishment.
The urbanisation occupies one of the most desirable beachfront plots in Manilva, with Playa del Castillo less than a two-minute walk away. Puerto de la Duquesa marina lies 3 kilometres west, offering waterfront dining and boat moorings. Built in 1989, the complex has matured into an established residential community while retaining its appeal to both permanent residents and holiday renters. The ground-floor position provides level access from the street to the terrace.

Buying this townhouse 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.
