Altos del Chaparral: new build apartments for sale in Mijas

Heating and cooling come from a heat pump, ducted to the rooms and set from one thermostat in the living room. Each home has its own aerothermal unit for hot water, drawing heat from the air outside, and fresh air is brought in by a continuous ventilation system.

Two colour schemes to choose from, with a Silestone or Compac quartz worktop and a steel sink. An extractor hood, induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge from Bosch, Teka or similar come fitted.

Large porcelain tiles on the floors, carried out onto the terraces in a matching non-slip version. Bathroom walls are clad in rectified porcelain, and the other walls are finished in white paint.

A drawer unit with the basin built in, porcelain sanitaryware, a low resin shower tray and chrome single-lever taps with water savers. The shower controls are set into the wall.

Colour-lacquered aluminium frames with a thermal break, which stops the frame carrying cold or heat, and double glazing, with low-emission glass in the living room. The bedrooms have aluminium blinds in sound-insulated boxes. A security door with a three-point lock, white lacquered doors inside, and fitted wardrobes with sliding or folding doors.

Outside walls in two skins of brick, insulated with sprayed polyurethane and lined in plasterboard over mineral wool. The walls between homes are built in three layers with an acoustic membrane, so less sound passes from next door.

Private gardens on the ground floor are handed over laid with artificial grass, and the ground-floor and penthouse terraces have an outside tap.

An automatic garage door, carbon-monoxide detection, and ducting for an electric-car charger run from each home’s own meter. Lifts for eight people give step-free access to every floor.
