About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Marbesa, Costa del Sol. The upper floor hosts two bedroom suites that open directly onto a private terrace where the Mediterranean stretches across the horizon, with the master suite claiming the best vantage point for morning coffee or evening sundowners.
Across 346 square metres of built space, the villa unfolds over two levels on a 530-square-metre plot. The ground floor dedicates 126 square metres to an open-plan living room that connects to a modern kitchen, both flowing onto a covered veranda and out to the 24-square-metre pool terrace. Three en-suite bedrooms provide privacy for family or guests, with a separate guest toilet off the entrance hall. The 100 square metres of outdoor terrace space wraps around the property, while the private garden frames the pool area with mature Mediterranean planting. One covered parking space sits within the plot.
The villa stands in the residential quarter of Marbesa, where the beach lies one minute on foot from the front gate. Marbella's old town and port sit 10 minutes west by car, whilst Málaga Airport is a 35-minute drive along the A-7 coastal motorway. Built in 2002 and maintained in excellent condition, the property occupies a secure, low-density neighbourhood where the sound of the sea carries on summer evenings and winter mornings alike.

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