Selling your property

Cabopino property: local legal points

Coastal Law near the beach

Properties close to the shoreline and the Artola dunes may be affected by the Coastal Law (Ley de Costas) protection zone, which limits works and extensions. We check this before you commit.

Marina berths

A berth in Puerto de Cabopino is normally a right of use under an administrative concession, not freehold property. If a berth is included, we review how it is transferred and until when it lasts.

Holiday homes and rentals

Many Cabopino owners let their property. We check community rules and the tourist-rental requirements, and explain the tax obligations for non-resident owners.

What does buying cost in Andalusia?

As a rule of thumb, budget 10–12% on top of the price for a resale purchase. Selling as a non-resident? The buyer must withhold 3% of the price on account of your capital gains tax, which we help you reclaim if it exceeds what you owe.

Frequently asked questions — Buying & Selling in Cabopino

Cabopino belongs to the municipality of Marbella, so IBI and plusvalía are paid to Marbella Town Hall and the property is registered at a Marbella Land Registry. Neighbouring Calahonda is in Mijas.
Yes. With a power of attorney we negotiate with the buyer's lawyer, prepare all certificates, sign at the notary and handle the 3% retention and your non-resident capital gains return.
It is not compulsory, but the notary does not check debts with the community, planning breaches or the fine print of your private contract. Your own lawyer does, acting solely in your interest. Problems found after completion are yours to solve.
Yes. With a power of attorney signed at a notary (in Spain or abroad with an apostille) we can sign the contracts and the deed on your behalf, pay the taxes and register the property, keeping you informed at every step.
