About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. The position delivers glimpses of the Mediterranean from the upper floor, whilst the 875sqm plot provides enough space for a private pool and established gardens without feeling excessive to maintain. Renovated to an excellent standard, the interiors balance family practicality with considered finishes throughout all 302sqm of living space.
The ground floor accommodates three of the four bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, alongside a reception room with a working fireplace and air conditioning. The master suite occupies the upper level with its own private terrace and sea views. Outside, the 32sqm covered terrace connects directly to the pool area, whilst a double garage provides secure parking and additional storage space. The kitchen has been updated during the recent renovation, and WiFi infrastructure runs through the property.
The villa sits within the established La Duquesa Golf area, a ten-minute walk from Duquesa Marina where the waterfront restaurants and sailing berths begin. The coast road connects to Estepona in one direction and Sotogrande in the other, both under fifteen minutes by car. Local schools, supermarkets and the beachfront all fall within a short drive, whilst the golf course that gives the area its name borders the neighbourhood directly.

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.
