Frequently asked questions
Why buy an apartment in Manilva rather than in Estepona or Marbella?
Manilva offers excellent value for money: for comparable services, apartments here are often more affordable, while remaining just minutes from Sotogrande, golf courses, and the sea.
Which areas should be prioritized for an apartment in Manilva?
Puerto de la Duquesa (marina, restaurants), San Luis de Sabinillas (seafront, year-round living) and the new residences on the hills with sea views are the most sought-after.
Are new build apartments (obra nueva) available in Manilva?
Yes, several recent developments offer new apartments with swimming pools and terraces. We assist you with off-plan purchases, from reservation to handover of keys.
Can you invest in an apartment in Manilva to rent it out?
Yes: marina, beaches, and golf courses attract a tourist clientele, and more accessible entry prices (from around €200,000) improve profitability.
What fees and taxes should you budget for when buying a flat in Manilva?
For a resale property, allow around 7% in transfer tax (ITP) in Andalusia, plus 1% to 1.5% in notary, registration and fees. For a new-build property, VAT (10%) and registration tax (AJD, 1.2%) apply instead of ITP. We provide a full breakdown of costs before any commitment.
Can a non-resident get a mortgage for a flat in Manilva?
Yes. Spanish banks generally finance non-residents up to 60-70% of the property value, compared with 80% for residents. We work with local banks and brokers who are used to international buyers.
Why invest in a flat in Manilva?
The flat market in Manilva remains one of the most affordable on the coast, with new developments near the Port of La Duquesa and the golf courses, offering strong seasonal rental potential.
