About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Marbesa, Costa del Sol. This 1970-built property delivers 399sqm of living space arranged across well-proportioned interiors that connect directly to outdoor areas designed for year-round Mediterranean use. The private pool anchors a 799sqm plot that balances entertaining space with low-maintenance garden zones.
Inside, three bedrooms are supported by four bathrooms, including a guest toilet positioned for convenience when hosting. The part-furnished interiors span generously sized living areas that open onto a 50sqm terrace, creating an indoor-outdoor flow suited to coastal living. One parking space is included, and the layout separates sleeping quarters from social zones without wasted corridor space. The kitchen and living areas receive natural light throughout the day, while the bedrooms occupy quieter positions within the footprint.
Marbesa sits in Marbella East, a residential enclave where low-density development preserves a village-like atmosphere within reach of services. Nikki Beach lies 1.5km east along the coastal road, accessible in under five minutes by car. The villa's position places several beach clubs, including Bounty Beach and La Cabane, within a similar radius, while central Marbella and Puerto Banús remain under 15 minutes' drive for shopping and dining. The area attracts long-term residents and second-home owners seeking proximity to the coast without the density of Marbella's urban core.

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.
