Construction is under way, and handover is set for October 2027. The prices are the developer’s own, and IVA at the new-home rate of 10 per cent is added to each.
The estate is spread over a hillside, so I would drive up with you from Marbella to see the setting and the approach road before we look at the plans. When the buildings are finished, I walk through your apartment with you and note anything that does not match the specification before handover.
Get in touch and I will talk you through it. Buying with me sets out how I work.
