About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Manilva, Costa del Sol. This top-floor property sits just 50 metres from the sand, with direct access to the coastal path that runs the length of the coast. The south-facing orientation floods the interiors with natural light throughout the day, while the 40-square-metre solarium captures uninterrupted sea views across the Mediterranean.
The 70-square-metre layout spans two floors beneath the roof terrace. The ground level contains an open-plan living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen and a guest toilet, flowing out to a 20-square-metre private garden with covered porch. Upstairs, the master bedroom and second bedroom share a bathroom fitted with a shower. The rooftop solarium provides additional outdoor space for sunbathing or evening dining with coastal views. The property comes fully furnished and benefits from the communal pool within the development.
The townhouse stands on the second line from the beach in Manilva, with the sandy shore and promenade accessible within a one-minute walk. Sabinillas town centre lies five minutes away by car, offering supermarkets, restaurants and local shops, while Sotogrande marina sits an equal distance in the opposite direction. The coastal path outside connects walkers and cyclists to neighbouring towns along the Costa del Sol. Built in 1972, the property maintains good condition throughout its two-storey structure.

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.
