About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Manilva, Costa del Sol. Spread across four levels with 274sqm of built space and 125sqm of terraces, this south-east-facing home captures Mediterranean light throughout the day whilst framing views across the coastline. The main floor opens directly from the lounge and dining area onto a covered terrace and private garden, creating an indoor-outdoor flow that extends the living space year-round.
Inside, the ground floor combines an open-plan kitchen with the main living and dining zones, all flooded with natural light. The first floor accommodates three bedrooms: one with an en-suite bathroom, two sharing a family bathroom. The top floor is entirely dedicated to the master suite, offering privacy and uninterrupted sea views from its elevated position. A guest toilet on the main level serves visitors without requiring access to the private bedroom floors. The property includes one parking space and access to a communal pool set within landscaped gardens.
La Paloma sits just inland from the Manilva coastline, positioning the property 4 kilometres from the marina at Puerto de la Duquesa, where restaurants and waterfront promenades line the harbour. The complex's elevated position affords sea views whilst remaining within a short drive of the beach. Built in 2007 and maintained in excellent condition, the townhouse retains its original finishes across 4.5 bathrooms and benefits from the additional outdoor space that corner or end-of-terrace plots typically lack.

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