About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This southwest-facing property comes with its own swimming pool set within 40 square metres of private terrace space, offering an outdoor area that extends the 130 square metres of interior living across a single level. Air conditioning runs throughout, and the layout separates four double bedrooms across two floors with three full bathrooms.
Inside, the open-plan ground floor connects the kitchen to a bright living and dining area that opens directly onto the terrace and pool. The master bedroom occupies the upper level with an en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony. Two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom, while the fourth bedroom sits on the ground floor with an additional bathroom nearby. One parking space is included, and furniture can be negotiated as part of the sale. The property was built in 2005 and remains in excellent condition, requiring no immediate work.
The townhouse sits within a gated community of 50 homes that shares two communal pools and maintained gardens. Puerto de la Duquesa lies 1.5 kilometres away, reachable on foot in around 20 minutes, where the marina holds restaurants, shops, and a small beach. The setting is quiet but connected, with Estepona 10 minutes by car to the west and Sotogrande 15 minutes to the south. The community maintains secure entry gates and benefits from year-round residents who keep the shared areas well looked after.

Buying this townhouse 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.
