Buying a New Development property

Buying a new development home from Martin Real Estate on the Costa del Sol presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of paradise in one of Europe's most coveted destinations.

There is currently a plentiful supply of modern developments gracing the coastline and prospective buyers are spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting their dream home. These new developments often offer state-of-the-art amenities, contemporary designs, and luxurious finishes, catering to the discerning tastes of today's homebuyers.

There are many new developments where units are complete and ready to be sold, with buyers taking their keys in a matter of weeks.  The VAT rate ( 10% ) on new developments is slightly higher than the transfer tax rate ( 7% ) applied to second hand properties. Your Martin Real Estate representative will be happy to explain the Vat regime at the time of viewing and answer any questions.
Please be aware that new developments may not be immediately available, and patience may well be required if the property is bought ´off plan´. The wait time from ´green field´ site to when your new home is complete and handed over can take a year or more.  The advantage of buying off plan is that you get in at the initial/launch price point.  Prices only move upwards as units are completed and new phases build and sold.

One of the primary attractions of purchasing a new development home on the Costa del Sol is the chance to own a property that is tailored to modern lifestyles. From sleek, open-plan layouts to innovative smart home technology, these properties are designed to maximize comfort, convenience, and efficiency. Whether it's a spacious villa with panoramic sea views, a chic apartment in a gated community, or a stylish townhouse nestled within lush gardens, there's a wide range of options to suit every preference and budget.

In addition to the allure of luxurious living spaces, buying a new development home on the Costa del Sol often comes with the promise of exclusive amenities and facilities. Many developments boast resort-style features such as swimming pools, fitness centres, spa facilities, and landscaped gardens, providing residents with a lavish lifestyle akin to that of a five-star retreat. Furthermore, these communities often offer 24-hour security and concierge services, ensuring peace of mind and convenience for homeowners.

From an investment perspective, purchasing a new development home on the Costa del Sol can be a lucrative venture. The region's enduring popularity as a tourist destination, coupled with its strong real estate market, makes it an attractive option for buyers looking to capitalize on rental income or long-term appreciation. With a steady stream of visitors flocking to the coast year-round, rental properties in prime locations can yield high returns, providing a lucrative income stream for investors.

Moreover, buying a new development home on the Costa del Sol offers buyers the opportunity to customize their property to their exact specifications. Many developers offer the option to personalize finishes, fixtures, and fittings, allowing buyers to create a bespoke living space that reflects their individual style and preferences. Whether it's selecting the perfect kitchen countertops or choosing the ideal flooring materials, buyers can collaborate with developers to bring their vision to life and create a home that is truly their own.

In conclusion, purchasing a new development home with Martin Real Estate on the Costa del Sol represents a lifestyle investment of unparalleled luxury, comfort, and convenience. With its stunning coastal scenery, world-class amenities, and strong investment potential, the Costa del Sol continues to attract buyers from around the globe seeking to embrace the ultimate Mediterranean lifestyle.
