About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Las Chapas, Costa del Sol. Direct access to the sand means you step from your private garden onto the beach in seconds, with uninterrupted sea views from the south-facing terrace and living spaces. The property spreads across three levels and includes a jacuzzi set into the garden, where you can watch the Mediterranean while the sun sets over the water.
Inside, 151 square metres of living space holds four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with sliding glass doors that open the ground-floor living areas onto a 15-square-metre terrace and 55-square-metre garden. The home comes fully furnished and ready to move into, with an open-plan layout that channels natural light through the main reception rooms. You have one allocated parking space in a private garage, plus access to a communal swimming pool shared with the gated community.
Las Chapas sits on Marbella's eastern coastline, where the beachfront here remains quieter than the town centre yet connects easily to local amenities. The property lies within a secure gated development with direct beach access, placing you a five-minute drive from Nikki Beach and ten minutes from Marbella's old town. Cabopino Marina sits three kilometres east, offering restaurants and boat moorings along a sheltered harbour.

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