About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Bahía de Marbella, Costa del Sol. Direct private access to the beach means you step from the property onto golden sand without crossing a road or navigating shared pathways. The west-facing orientation delivers afternoon and evening sun across 30 square metres of terrace space, where you can watch the sunset over the Mediterranean.
Inside, 207 square metres of built space unfolds across multiple levels, with three full bathrooms plus a guest WC. The layout separates living areas vertically, creating natural zones for entertaining and privacy. A private parking space is included, and the property connects to a large communal swimming pool set within landscaped gardens. The condition is excellent, with the original 2000 build maintained to a high standard. Furniture is available by separate negotiation if required.
The townhouse sits within a 24-hour security-controlled beachfront community in Bahía de Marbella, placing you 8 kilometres east of Marbella's town centre and marina. The Elviria commercial area, with its supermarkets, restaurants and medical facilities, lies 2 kilometres away along the coastal road. Málaga Airport is a 40-minute drive via the A-7, and the beach access gate opens directly onto one of the Costa del Sol's wider stretches of sand, where the shoreline remains relatively quiet even during peak summer months.

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