About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom villa with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This 350sqm semi-detached property includes a private lift connecting all floors, a rare feature that transforms accessibility for families or guests with mobility needs. The east-facing orientation delivers morning light across the 70sqm of terrace space, while the private jacuzzi and sauna add a wellness dimension uncommon in properties of this type.
Inside, the 350sqm layout accommodates six bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, two bathrooms, and a storage room that keeps everyday clutter out of sight. Air conditioning runs throughout the property, which comes fully furnished to move-in or rental-ready standard. The 500sqm plot holds both the private swimming pool and garage space for five cars, addressing parking concerns that often limit coastal properties. A communal pool and gardens supplement the private outdoor areas, giving children or guests alternative spaces without leaving the grounds.
La Duquesa Marina sits 1.2 kilometres away, offering waterfront dining and berths for those who keep a boat on the Costa del Sol. The property occupies a semi-detached position rather than a standalone villa plot, but the lift, sauna, and multi-car garage distinguish it from standard townhouse stock in the area. La Duquesa Golf Club lies within a five-minute drive, and the beaches that front this stretch of coast are accessible in under ten minutes by car during off-peak hours.

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.
