Buying Off-Plan in Manilva
Manilva is the most affordable entry point on the western Costa del Sol, with two-bedroom apartments from €175,000 near Duquesa marina and villas from €380,000 with views to Gibraltar and Africa. Prices run 30–40% below Estepona and 50%+ below Marbella for equivalent new-build specifications. The AP-7 connects to Málaga airport in 60 minutes and Gibraltar in 25.
The Off-Plan Buying Process
- 1
Reservation & NIE
Pay a reservation fee (typically €3,000–€10,000) to take the property off the market. You will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number) and a Spanish bank account, both of which your lawyer can arrange.
- 2
Private Purchase Contract
Within 30 days, sign the contrato privado de compraventa and pay 10% of the purchase price (minus the reservation). This contract locks in the price and your chosen customisation options. Your deposit is protected by a bank guarantee under Ley 57/68.
- 3
Stage Payments During Build
For off-plan properties, further payments of 20–30% are due at construction milestones (foundations, structure, finishes). Each payment is backed by the mandatory bank guarantee — if the developer fails to deliver, you get your money back.
- 4
Pre-Delivery Snagging Inspection
Before completion, you (or your appointed surveyor) conduct a snagging inspection of the finished property. The developer must remedy any defects before handover. A retention amount of 5–10% of the final payment is typically held back until snagging items are resolved.
- 5
Completion & Notary Signing
Sign the escritura pública (title deed) before a notary, pay the remaining balance (usually 60–70% of the purchase price), and receive your keys. The notary registers the property at the Land Registry in your name. Typical completion timeline for off-plan: 18–24 months from reservation.
New Build Costs & Taxes
| Cost Item | Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| IVA (VAT) | 10% | Applies to all new-build purchases nationwide — replaces the ITP (transfer tax) charged on resale properties |
| AJD (Stamp Duty) | 1.2% | Rate set by the Andalucía regional government |
| Notary Fees | 0.5–1% | Scaled by property price; fixed by government tariff |
| Legal Fees | 1–1.5% | Independent lawyer recommended — never use the developer's lawyer |
| Land Registry | 0.5–1% | Registering the title deed in your name |
| Total Purchase Cost | ~13–14% | New-build total on top of the property price in Andalucía |
What to Expect in New Construction

Insider Tip — Manilva
Manilva is the western Costa del Sol's growth frontier — current prices represent a 30–40% discount versus Estepona for equivalent new-build specifications. Puerto de la Duquesa marina is the focal point: buy within walking distance for the strongest rental demand. Gibraltar's 25-minute proximity also attracts cross-border professionals as tenants.
About Manilva
Manilva is the westernmost municipality on the Costa del Sol, sitting at the boundary with the Campo de Gibraltar region. The area encompasses the charming inland village of Manilva, the beachside community of Sabinillas, and the modern marina development at Puerto de la Duquesa — three distinct zones each with their own character.
The area is famous for its Moscatel wine production — Manilva’s sweet wine has been made from the local Moscatel de Alejandría grape for centuries. The annual vendimia (grape harvest) festival in September is one of the most joyful celebrations on the coast, with free-flowing wine and traditional grape-treading.
Puerto de la Duquesa is a well-maintained marina with restaurants, bars, and shops overlooking the yacht moorings. The beaches of Sabinillas and Duquesa are less developed than those further east, offering a more relaxed experience. On clear days, the views from the coast stretch across the Strait of Gibraltar to the Rif Mountains of Morocco.
