Where is Marbella? Location, Arrival and Welcome

Marbella is located in the southernmost corner of mainland Europe, in the south of Spain, immediately along the Mediterranean coast. The nearest airport in Málagais 40 minutes away by car. So to get to Marbella you need to bring a day of travel, unlike, for example, in Mallorca, with villa in Son Vida or in Ibiza, with villa in Sant Jesús.

Therefore, mostly a recommendation only for those who have either 1) personal connection to Marbella or 2) real golf fans who want to spend a lot of time on the green, even when wintering.

• Extreme south-west of Europe
• Near Gibraltar, on a good day you can see Africa’s coastline

Cumbre Vieja is a large mountain at the foot of which Marbella stretches along the coastline. The Cumbre Vieja has something magical and keeps, so it seems, the clouds from the inland to move over Marbella. It protects the place from too high temperatures of the inland, from clouds, wind and weather.

Thanks to the Cumbre Vieja you have permanently nice weather here. As you can also see from the statistics.

Villa Tour Marbella: The most expensive neighborhoods

Marbella is relatively small compared to other Spanish hotspots in the Mediterranean like Mallorca and Ibiza. After all, it is not an island, but a coastal strip. So your tour stretches for about 70 kilometers if you want to include all the relevant places from Cala de Mijas to Esetepona.

If you want to focus on Marbella city, you don’t have to look at the outer areas. For those who are looking for seclusion instead of city life, however, you should once drive the entire region from Cala de Mijas to Esetepona.

On the way to Marbella you will first pass through Mijas.

Cala de Mijas: Remote, near airport

In Cala de Mijas I got to know one of the first villas in Marbella, from a friend. The area is located between Málaga and Marbella. As you can see from the map, it has the best beachfront location. Directly in Beachfront you will find less villas. As in all of Marbella, the villas are always slightly in the hillside, instead of directly on the beach.

Advantages of Cala de Mijas:

• Away from the hustle and bustle of the city
• Relatively quiet beaches (comparison Marbella)
• Smaller community, faster connection
• Proximity to the airport (only 20 minutes)

Villa, pool, view – what else?

Marbella city

After Cala de Mijas you are in Marbella town. Before we look at the expensive villa districts, here is a tip for all visitors, the “Old-Town” of Marbella. Afterwards we drive to Monte Paraíso, the so called “Golden Mile” of Marbella and Nueva Andalucía, a district of Marbella, towards Estepona.

1. Old-Town for Welcome
2. Monte Paraíso: “Golden Mile
3. Nueva Andalucía

Old-Town

Not a place for villas, but for the old town romance of Marbella. Especially in the off-season (late fall, winter), you have many of the streets virtually to yourself and can enjoy the great restaurants, at 15 °, 20 °. From here you also come directly to the first hotspot of Marbella, to Monte Paraíso, the “Golden Mile”.

In the background the Cumbre Vieja, protecting behind the stand (inland heat, storms, etc.)

Romantic downtown with a southern flair.

Monte Paraíso: The Golden Mile

Monte Paraíso: The “Golden Mile” is located in the middle of Marbella. The neighborhood is located at the foot of Cumbre Vieja (big mountain to the inland). Small streets wind their way up to the gated communities. Here the prices for villas are around 3 to 15 million, depending on location and architecture.

Advantages of Monte Paraíso:

• Immediate proximity to the city
• Unique view over Marbella
• Exclusive neighborhood

Example from my villas in Marbella. that you already know from the cover picture. What I like especially about this villa? You see here a Night-House (left) and a Day-House (right). In the foreground with pool and artificial waterfall, in the background (not to be seen here) a more than 400 years old olive tree, which was specially brought here from Italy.

Villa in the Golden Mile:

Nueva Andalucía: Golf Clubs and Marina

In Nueva Andalucía, besides all the advantages, you have one thing directly: many golf courses. I have already written about the Golf Club Los Naranjos in my magazine. In addition, Puerto Banús (marina) is located here in the district. There

Advantages of Nueva Andalucía:

• Numerous good golf clubs
• Puerto Banús marina
• Directly at the center

Marina: Puerto Banús

Extra mention, the marina. No villas, but some nice penthouses and duplexes occasionally pop up on the market here. Ideal for boat owners, of course.

Benahavís: Villas in the “interior

You really want it quiet and secluded? Then you should not skip Benahavís on your sightseeing tour in Marbella. Benahavís is about 10 minutes inland, depending on how you drive. So it’s really just a short hop from Nueva Andalucía.

Location in / near Marbella:

Estepona: 30 minutes from Marbella

If you don’t want to buy directly in Marbella, Esetepona is a good option, only about 30 minutes by car, along the coast. The real estate offers here are somewhat more limited, accordingly, you may have to bring some time in the property search. In Marbella itself you will almost always find interesting offers, whether villa, historic finca or duplex in the city.

• Travel time (from Marbella): 28 min
• Route: 33.0 km, also via AP-7

Route: Marbella to Estepona.

Villa with pool in Estepona.

Sotogrande: More “Miami” does not go

My last tip is for those who seek tranquility, really tranquility and who like to play golf. Large courses to the left and right of the residence or even live directly on the golf course, with villa. All this is possible in Sotogrande, three quarters of an hour from Marbella.

• Travel time (from Marbella): 44 min
• Route: 58.5 km, also via AP-7

Own climate: winter / summer comparison

The 45 minutes driving time affect the climate, in winter the temperatures are already +1° / +2° higher, at 11° to 16°. At the same time, in midsummer, in August, it is a little cooler. Instead of 31 ° on average, only 28 ° and thus much more pleasant.

From Sontogrande you can already see the coast of Africa and you can be sure to live in a special place in Europe.

Sell pitch: Learn about the sale

Have you already checked whether you are allowed to sell your parking space? Here you will learn the difference between special ownership and special right of use.

Should you know the difference, scroll down directly to the sale: procedure

Special ownership and special right of use: Significance

The distinction between special ownership and special right of use has a big effect on sales – learn why here.

Let’s summarize the “special property” and the “special right of use” quite simply. In terms of renting, it makes no difference. But it does make a difference when selling.

Individual car parking spaces are usually common property.

Therefore, before selling, you must check whether you are allowed to rent your parking space as 1) an authorized user or 2) as a special owner, to rent or also to sell (simply, without the consent of the other owners).

Here you will learn when which case (1, 2) occurrence.

Quickly explained! When does what apply?

Legally (according to the Condominium Act [WEG]), the difference lies in the question a) above ground [special right of use] or b) below ground [special property]. There are exceptions to this, in the case of “closed” rooms, so above-ground garages can also be special property.

When is the sale of your pitch allowed and when not?

Special right of use quickly explained

In the case of the special right of use, no separate sale of the parking space is permitted – at least not without the consent of all owners at the owners’ meeting. The rental itself is exclusively at your discretion. For the sale you need, as said, the consent of the others.

Special right of use:

• Renting easily possible
• Sale only with the consent of all owners

Special property quickly explained

In the case of special ownership, a separate land register sheet is created for the parking space. This means that resale to third parties is possible without any problems.

Special property:

• Rental and sale to third parties easily possible

Regulated in the declaration of partition / partition agreement

When is there a special right of use and when is it special property?

The answer for a specific property can be found in the declaration of partition or partition agreement. Here it has been regulated by the owners’ meeting whether it is 1) special property or whether you “only” have a 2) special right of use to the parking space.

When, which case (in general) is present, regulates the residential property law (WEG). The first, crucial difference arises from the question, is your parking space:

1. Built above ground (parking lot)
2. Or in an underground car park

Above-ground parking spaces (parking lot):

Parking space underground(underground parking):

Exception above ground, enclosed spaces (garages), more on this in a moment:

Special right of use of the parking space

The special right of use, on the other hand, means that you as the owner may use certain parts of the common property alone. Accordingly, in the case of a special right of use, no separate sale of the parking space is permitted without the consent of all owners in the owners’ meeting.

Special right of use is called:

• Sole right of use
• No sale without the consent of the community of owners

Source: WEG §5

Special property at the parking space

As already learned, in the case of special ownership, a separate land register sheet is created for the parking lot, so that resale is possible.

According to the German Condominium Act (WEG), special ownership is largely equivalent to full ownership. Also important, especially for above-ground parking spaces, according to WEG § 3 para. 2, special ownership is only possible for enclosed spaces. This also makes a big difference to the question: Are you allowed to sell your parking space or not?

Special property is called:

• Closed rooms, according to WEG
• Resale possible without reconciliation

Source: WEG §3 (Law on Condominium Ownership and Permanent Residence Law [Wohnungseigentumsgesetz]).

Special property? Above ground / underground (underground parking)

Accordingly, what type of parking space is eligible for special ownership?

• Parking space in underground garage = Yes

Individual underground parking spaces are eligible for separate ownership. In this regard, WEG §3 states extra “Garage parking spaces are considered to be enclosed spaces if their areas are visible by permanent markings”.

Above-ground parking spaces are not eligible for special ownership.

• Parking above ground = No

Exception: Above ground and closed

Exception are here, according to WEG § 3 para. 2 “closed rooms”, such as garages and garage facilities.

The regulation is determined in the declaration of division, the community rules or agreement. If this is missing, all owners registered in the land register must agree to the special ownership (or special right of use).

Step by step: checklist sale

Should you be selling your very first pitch, you don’t have to stray far from the typical real estate sales procedure. The parameters are fundamentally the same, especially if your buyers are capital investors (rentals). It all starts with timing, which also brings you directly to the second question, sell with or without an agent?

Whether it is a parking lot or condominium, the principle is always the same when selling a property. You need to make the final sale decision, you needed the right documents, you need to have your property (parking lot) evaluated by a professional. And so that you are well prepared for your first parking lot sale, here is a comprehensive guide in 18 steps!

Pitches: Statistics

Did you already know: Despite the “climate debate”, the sale of vehicles in this country is increasing every year.

Last year alone, there were 2.92 million new passenger car registrations (source: KBA). According to the KBA, the vehicle population in Germany increased by a full 1.1 million vehicles compared to the previous year’s reporting date to approximately 66.9 million vehicles registered in Germany, a full +1.6%.
