About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Manilva, Costa del Sol. This top-floor duplex penthouse places you above the coastal landscape with 275 square metres of south-facing terrace space wrapped around the living areas. The master suite includes a separate walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, whilst both remaining bedrooms open directly onto the terrace. A second full bathroom serves the rest of the apartment, and the open-plan kitchen connects to the living space where floor-to-ceiling glass frames uninterrupted Mediterranean views.
The 118 square metres of built space spreads across two levels, with 103 square metres of usable interior. Each of the three bedrooms has terrace access, so morning light reaches every corner of the apartment. The kitchen arrives fully equipped and integrated into the main living area, which flows onto the expansive outdoor space. One parking space is included, and the communal pool sits within the development grounds. Completion is scheduled for 2026, so finishes and fixtures will be new throughout.
The property sits in Manilva, a short drive from Puerto de la Duquesa marina with its waterfront restaurants and mooring berths. The A7 coastal motorway runs close by, connecting you to Estepona in 15 minutes and Sotogrande in 10. Local supermarkets, schools and beaches are all within walking distance of the development. The terrace orientation captures afternoon and evening sun across the full width of the apartment.

Buying this apartment 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.
