About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom villa with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This detached property sits on a 400-square-metre plot with scope for extension or reconfiguration. The elevated position, just 300 metres from the beach, creates potential for sea views with a first-floor addition.
The 80-square-metre interior currently holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms across a single level. The living spaces open onto covered terraces that extend the usable area, whilst the private garden wraps around the villa with room for outdoor dining, planting, or additional structures. The plot allows for a garage conversion or studio build if needed. Part-furnished throughout, the property includes one parking space and comes structurally sound, ready for modernisation without requiring major groundwork.
Los Hidalgos sits 300 metres from La Duquesa beach, where a promenade runs west towards Sotogrande and east into Estepona. The complex lies within walking distance of Puerto de la Duquesa marina, which holds restaurants, shops, and ferry connections to North Africa during summer months. The villa's 1998 construction means plumbing and electrics meet current standards, reducing the scope of any renovation to cosmetic updates and layout changes rather than full rewiring or replumbing.

9 questions answered
Buying this villa in Los Hidalgos
Can foreigners buy property in Los Hidalgos?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Los Hidalgos. 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 Los Hidalgos?
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.
