About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Marbesa, Costa del Sol. This corner plot delivers lateral Mediterranean views and a private entrance that sets it apart from standard terrace configurations. The southeast orientation fills the interior with morning light whilst the elevated position captures coastal vistas without beachfront pricing.
The 85sqm layout provides two bedrooms, two full bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom, and a welcoming living area that opens to outdoor space. As a corner unit, the property benefits from windows on multiple sides and reduced noise transfer from neighbouring homes. The fully furnished specification includes everything needed for immediate occupation, whilst the excellent condition throughout reflects consistent maintenance since the 1990 build. A communal pool serves the development, and the southeast aspect ensures the outdoor areas receive sun from dawn through early afternoon.
The property sits within Reserva de Marbella, positioned approximately 5 minutes by car from Marbesa beach. This stretch of coastline between Marbella and Elviria offers a quieter alternative to central Marbella whilst maintaining proximity to established amenities. The N-340 coastal road provides direct access west towards Marbella's old town and east to Elviria's commercial centre. The corner position within the development places the townhouse at the edge of the complex rather than mid-terrace, creating additional separation from foot traffic and neighbouring properties.

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