About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This east-facing property captures both sea and mountain views from multiple vantage points across its 250sqm of living space, set on an 890sqm plot with mature gardens and a private swimming pool. The traditional architecture, built in 2008, combines classic styling with practical family living across three double bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Inside, the layout provides 250sqm of accommodation with 60sqm of terrace space extending the living areas outdoors. The property includes a fitted kitchen, separate living and dining rooms, and three full bathrooms servicing the three bedrooms. Air conditioning runs throughout, while the east orientation brings morning light into the principal rooms. The flat plot allows direct access from the main level to the garden and pool area, with one allocated parking space included. Furniture can be negotiated separately if required.
La Paloma sits between San Luis de Sabinillas and Sotogrande, with communal gardens maintained across the development. Puerto Deportivo de La Duquesa lies 10 minutes away by car, offering waterfront dining, supermarkets, and marina facilities. The same distance in the opposite direction reaches Sotogrande Marina, placing the villa equidistant between two of the coast's established leisure hubs. The flat terrain of the plot means the pool and garden require minimal maintenance while the mature planting provides established privacy around the perimeter.

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