About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Bahía de Marbella, Costa del Sol. This first-floor residence sits within a gated community where both en-suite bedrooms overlook the pool area and mature gardens maintained to hotel standard. The south-facing living room extends to 135 square metres of built space, opening through sliding glass doors onto two interconnected terraces that add 33 square metres and face a tree-lined street.
Inside, the separate kitchen connects to a dedicated laundry and utility area. The living room receives natural light from both sides, with glass doors leading to the enclosed terraces that wrap around the corner of the apartment. Two bathrooms serve the property, plus a guest toilet. The apartment comes fully furnished and includes one parking space within the secure grounds. The community provides two swimming pools, a padel court, basketball facilities, and table tennis, all within landscaped gardens and pathways.
The gated complex in Bahía de Marbella operates with 24-hour security and sits three minutes' walk from the beach. An Aldi supermarket is five minutes away on foot. The development was completed in 1999, when construction standards allowed for larger room proportions and generous terrace dimensions that newer builds no longer replicate. The tree-lined streets and established gardens create a settled residential atmosphere in the eastern part of Marbella, where the community layout encourages neighbours to recognise each other while maintaining privacy within individual properties.

Buying this apartment in Bahía de Marbella
Can foreigners buy property in Bahia De Marbella?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Bahia De Marbella. 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 Bahia De Marbella?
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.
