Soul Marbella Sunlife III: homes in Los Monteros, Marbella

Underfloor heating, and ducted heating and cooling through grilles in the living room and the bedrooms, both run from an aerothermal unit, which draws heat from the outside air, and set zone by zone through an Airzone-type control. Hot water comes from a shared aerothermal system.

Handed over furnished with tall wall and base units and a Silestone quartz worktop with a matching panel behind it. An induction hob, an extractor set into the ceiling, a fridge, an electric oven and a microwave in a tall unit, a dishwasher and a washer-dryer are included, and some homes have a utility room with a sink.

Large porcelain tiles through the living space and the bedrooms, chosen to work with the underfloor heating, with white lacquered skirting, smooth painted walls and plasterboard ceilings. The terraces are paved in non-slip porcelain, each with a tap and a power socket.

Walls tiled in large ceramic pieces, 40 by 120 centimetres. The main bathroom has a white quartz shower tray, a bath in some homes, a wall-hung WC with the cistern hidden in the wall, and a double basin unit with a mirror. Glass shower screens and single-lever taps in every bathroom.

Aluminium frames with a thermal break, an insulating strip that stops heat and cold passing through the frame, and double glazing, with motorised blinds in the bedrooms. An armoured lacquered front door with a security lock, white lacquered doors inside, and lacquered wardrobes lined in a linen finish, with drawers, a shelf and a rail.

Home automation in the living areas, worked from a phone app, a wall keypad, your voice or ordinary switches, and it can be extended to the bedrooms as an option. LED lighting throughout, a video entry phone to the lobbies and the main gate, and data and television points in the living room, the kitchen and the bedrooms.

Rendered and painted brick outside, with an air gap that keeps out heat and noise, and plasterboard inside. Plasterboard walls with sound insulation between the rooms, between one home and the next, and beside the shared areas.
