About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This recently renovated ground-floor residence sits directly on the seafront, offering uninterrupted sea views from its 20sqm south-facing terrace. The 187sqm layout places the living-dining room and principal bedroom immediately beside the Mediterranean, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the coastline into the interior space.
Inside, the property delivers a spacious kitchen with modern appliances, a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two additional double bedrooms, and a second full bathroom. The living area spans over 40sqm and opens directly onto the terrace through sliding glass doors. Air conditioning runs throughout, and the renovation includes updated electrical systems, contemporary tiling, and built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms. One garage space accommodates two vehicles side by side.
The apartment sits within a gated community featuring a shared swimming pool and landscaped gardens, positioned metres from Marbella's seafront promenade. The building stands 200 metres from Playa de la Fontanilla, a Blue Flag beach with calm waters and a gentle slope. Supermarkets, beach clubs, and waterfront restaurants line the promenade within a three-minute walk, whilst Marbella's old town lies 1.2 kilometres west along the coastal path.

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