About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This recently renovated 246sqm property sits on a 775sqm plot and delivers the rare combination of residential calm and genuine walkability to Marbella's core. Built in 1970 and comprehensively updated, the villa centres around an open-plan ground floor where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room and a restaurant-style kitchen offers substantial worktop space and a natural flow into the dining area.
The layout spreads across two levels with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a guest toilet, plus a dedicated laundry room that removes domestic clutter from view. Upstairs, a large flexible area functions as a secondary lounge, home office or media room depending on your requirements. Outside, the 775sqm plot provides genuine garden space around the private pool, with mature planting offering natural privacy from neighbouring properties. The villa includes one secure parking space and is sold unfurnished, allowing you to configure the interiors without compromise.
The property sits in one of Marbella's established residential pockets, a 15-minute walk from Marbella Old Town and 10 minutes on foot to the beach. This positioning places you within reach of the town's historic plazas, independent shops and coastal promenades without requiring a car for daily errands. The neighbourhood itself maintains a low-density character with tree-lined streets and long-term residents, while remaining connected to the wider Costa del Sol through Marbella's road network.

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