About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This south-east-facing semi-detached property sits on a 155sqm plot with 140sqm of built space plus a 20sqm basement, offering an opportunity to complete the interior to your own specification. The shell is structurally complete with 53sqm of terrace space already in place, allowing you to design the layout, finishes and fittings without the constraints of an existing configuration.
The planned distribution includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms across the main floors, with the basement providing additional versatile space for storage, a home office or a private gym. The 53sqm terrace spans the upper level, positioned to capture sea views and the south-eastern light from morning through to early afternoon. One parking space is included. The property requires full interior completion, meaning you select everything from flooring and kitchen cabinetry to bathroom fittings and internal wall finishes.
La Duquesa sits between Estepona and Sotogrande on the western stretch of the Costa del Sol, known for its marina and low-rise residential character. The property is 1.2 kilometres from La Duquesa beach and the marina, where you'll find waterfront restaurants, a sailing club and access to the coastal path that runs towards Casares Costa. Manilva town centre is four kilometres inland, and the AP-7 motorway is a five-minute drive, connecting you to Marbella in 35 minutes and Gibraltar Airport in 20 minutes.

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.
