  • Homeowners' community: ask for minutes, fees and approved special levies.
  • Land registry extract (nota simple): confirm ownership and charges.
  • Purchase costs: taxes, notary and registry fees come on top of the price; we break them down in Purchase costs of a home in 2026.

Conclusion

For an apartment on the Costa del Sol, the municipality matters more than the property type: from Manilva to Marbella, the price per square metre nearly doubles. At EVS PROPERTY GROUP we help you compare areas and review the paperwork before you reserve.
