About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This east- and west-facing property spans 264 square metres across three floors plus a 59-square-metre basement, with an additional 89 square metres of terrace space including a solarium that captures panoramic coastal vistas. Built in 2007, the townhouse requires renovation but offers a layout designed for Mediterranean living once updated.
The ground floor features an independent kitchen with separate utility room, a guest toilet, and a living-dining room with fireplace that opens onto a large terrace. Upstairs, three bedrooms are served by two full bathrooms, one en suite, with access to a first-floor terrace. The basement provides two substantial rooms suitable for conversion into a home gym, cinema or games room, while the solarium crowns the property with uninterrupted views across the coast. An 86-square-metre front garden adds outdoor space at street level, and the property includes a garage with capacity for two cars plus two additional parking spaces in the communal area.
The townhouse sits in Puerto de la Duquesa, a marina development where the harbour and its waterfront restaurants lie within a five-minute walk. The location places you 15 minutes from Estepona's old town and 20 minutes from Sotogrande, with the AP-7 motorway providing direct access along the Costa del Sol. La Duquesa beach stretches immediately south of the port, and the area supports a year-round community centred around the working marina.

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