About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment in Nagüeles, Costa del Sol, offering 118 square metres of living space within the secure, gated community of Jardines de Sierra Blanca. The property sits in the foothills of Sierra Blanca, placing you in one of Marbella's most established residential enclaves where tranquillity meets accessibility. A 30-square-metre terrace extends the living area outdoors.
Inside, three bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged across a layout built in 2000. The apartment provides dedicated spaces for both private retreat and entertaining, with proportions that allow natural light to reach each room. The terrace connects directly to the main living areas, creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor zones. Residents of the complex share access to landscaped gardens, a communal swimming pool, and 24-hour security.
Jardines de Sierra Blanca occupies an elevated position in Nagüeles, with the Golden Mile less than five minutes' drive away. The beaches and restaurants of Marbella's coastline are equally close, while Puerto Banús marina sits approximately ten minutes by car. This location balances the quiet of a residential hillside with proximity to international schools, golf courses, and the social infrastructure of central Marbella. The complex itself maintains mature gardens that buffer the apartments from the main road, preserving the sense of seclusion that defines this part of the Costa del Sol.

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