About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol, positioned metres from the beach with a 399-square-metre private garden. This detached property offers substantial expansion potential, with planning scope to add approximately 100 square metres and construct an upper floor, creating a total built area approaching 200 square metres. The east-facing orientation ensures natural morning light throughout the main living spaces.
The 115-square-metre interior comprises three bedrooms and one bathroom, with a 30-square-metre terrace extending the living area outdoors. The villa comes fully furnished and includes one parking space on the plot. The private garden provides immediate outdoor space with room for a future pool installation, whilst the existing layout allows for straightforward reconfiguration during any extension work. The ground-level design suits those preferring single-storey living or seeking a development project with coastal proximity.
The property sits in La Duquesa's beachside residential zone, less than 100 metres from the shoreline. Duquesa Marina lies 1.5 kilometres west, offering restaurants, shops and mooring facilities. The location provides direct beach access whilst maintaining proximity to the marina's amenities and the town's services. The plot's size and the property's current footprint create genuine scope for buyers wanting either immediate coastal living or a phased renovation that could incorporate upper-floor construction with enhanced sea views.

Buying this villa 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.
