About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with golf views in La Alcaidesa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence spans 119sqm of interior space with a 32sqm terrace that opens directly onto views of the fairways below. The elevated position ensures uninterrupted sightlines across the course, making it a natural vantage point for anyone who appreciates the rhythm of the game or simply the expanse of manicured green stretching toward the horizon.
Inside, the layout accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms across a footprint designed to maximise light and circulation. The main living area connects directly to the terrace, creating a single fluid zone that extends the usable space by nearly a third. A 29sqm private plot provides additional outdoor utility, while a dedicated parking space is included in the sale. The apartment is set for completion in 2028, with all finishes specified to modern standards and the entire building benefiting from a communal pool that serves the wider development.
La Alcaidesa sits at the southern tip of the Costa del Sol, where the Mediterranean meets the Strait of Gibraltar. The development lies within walking distance of Alcaidesa Beach, a broad stretch of sand that remains relatively quiet even in summer. Sotogrande Marina is eight minutes by car, offering a full roster of restaurants, boutiques, and berthing facilities. The location places you equidistant between two countries, with Gibraltar's airport 15 minutes to the south and the centre of Estepona 20 minutes to the north along the coastal road.

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