About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in San Luis de Sabinillas, Costa del Sol. This semi-detached property spans 72 square metres of living space plus a 10-square-metre terrace, renovated to excellent condition since its original 1992 construction. The east and southeast orientation floods the interiors with morning and midday light, while the brand-new kitchen anchors a layout designed for year-round coastal living or seasonal escapes.
Inside, three bedrooms share two bathrooms across a single-storey footprint that maximises usable space without stairs. The new kitchen installation provides modern cabinetry and worktops ready for immediate use. Living areas open onto the private terrace, which extends the functional living space outdoors for dining or morning coffee. Beyond the villa itself, residents access communal gardens maintained across the development, plus a shared swimming pool with a separate children's pool and an adjacent playground for families.
San Luis de Sabinillas sits between Estepona and Sotogrande on the western Costa del Sol, with this villa positioned in the town centre within a five-minute walk of Playa de Sabinillas. The beachfront promenade stretches east towards Duquesa Marina, approximately 1.5 kilometres away, where restaurants and boat moorings line the waterfront. Local supermarkets, tapas bars and the weekly street market all fall within 400 metres of the property, making car-free living entirely practical for daily errands.

Buying this townhouse in San Luis de Sabinillas
Can foreigners buy property in San Luis De Sabinillas?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in San Luis De Sabinillas. 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 San Luis De Sabinillas?
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.
