About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. Spread across four floors with four separate terraces, this 262sqm property delivers multiple outdoor spaces for different times of day, all framed by mountain views that stretch inland from the coast.
Inside, the layout provides three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, including one en suite on the upper level. The 55sqm of terrace space divides between four distinct outdoor areas, each offering a different perspective and purpose throughout the day. Air conditioning runs through the living areas for summer comfort, while a working fireplace anchors the main reception room for cooler months. The private pool sits within the 92sqm plot, and one allocated parking space comes with the property. Built in 2004, the townhouse remains in excellent condition with no renovation required.
La Duquesa sits on the western edge of the Costa del Sol, where the coastline begins to curve towards the Strait of Gibraltar. The townhouse stands 1.5 kilometres from Puerto de la Duquesa marina, where restaurants line the waterfront and the fishing harbour still operates each morning. Estepona town centre lies 15 minutes by car to the east, while Sotogrande and its golf courses sit 10 minutes west along the coastal road.

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.
