About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Manilva, Costa del Sol. This south-facing property sits just steps from the sand in a frontline beach development, delivering direct coastal access without the premium typically attached to such locations. The recent renovation has updated the interiors whilst retaining the practical layout that makes the 143sqm built area work efficiently across four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The ground-floor living space connects to a 20sqm private terrace through full-width glazing, extending the usable area for outdoor dining under the covered section. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, whilst the remaining three bedrooms share two additional bathrooms positioned to serve morning routines without bottlenecks. The kitchen has been fully refitted as part of the renovation, and the property comes fully furnished with pieces selected to complement the coastal setting. Garden views from the terrace provide a green buffer between the house and the communal areas, and one designated parking space is included.
Manilva's town centre sits 3km inland, accessible in under five minutes by car, where you'll find the weekly market, municipal services, and a concentration of traditional tapas bars. The beachfront position places you within a two-minute walk of Playa de Manilva, a Blue Flag beach with beach bars operating through the summer season. Estepona marina lies 15 minutes west along the coast road, whilst Sotogrande port is 10 minutes east, positioning the townhouse between two of the Costa del Sol's established nautical hubs. The A-7 coastal road runs parallel 500 metres north, connecting to Málaga airport in 70 minutes.

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