Nestled in Marbella’s Nueva Andalucía, a three‑bedroom penthouse listed by Maiti Homes offers a clear example of how local expertise converts coastal lifestyle into an investible asset.

Discovering the penthouse: an analytical view

Property image 11

The penthouse spans 173 square metres of internal living space, arranged across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and sits within a 2004 build in Nueva Andalucía. Priced at EUR 1,850,000, it combines terrace space, sea views and a pool within the development—features that matter for both lifestyle buyers and yield‑focused investors. As shown in the photos, the main terrace and living room align to capture coastal sightlines, while interior images confirm a neutral, rental‑ready finish that reduces immediate capex for new owners.

What the numbers say

At EUR 1,850,000 for 173 sqm the headline price is approximately EUR 10,692 per sqm. For an international buyer evaluating Marbella against other Costa del Sol options, that metric is a quick filter: it reflects a premium neighbourhood position (Nueva Andalucía) and penthouse scarcity. Expected gross rental yields in comparable gated complexes on the western side of Marbella tend to be lower than inland locations, so buyers should prioritise occupancy rates and nightly rates if planning short‑let use, or stable long‑let returns if targeting expat tenants.

How Maiti Homes positions this property for international buyers

Maiti Homes uses a client‑first process calibrated to international purchasers: market mapping, net yield modelling and a tailored viewing plan. This penthouse exemplifies that approach. The agency presents clear, investment‑centric materials—photographs that show context (terrace aspect and pool), documentation of build year and communal features (lift, garage, air conditioning) and an assessment of transferable rental demand from nearby golf resorts and coastal leisure nodes. The listing materials and the images provided suggest Maiti Homes prioritises transparency: they present the asset’s strengths and the cost items a buyer should anticipate.

Service elements that reduce execution risk

• Local market due diligence: neighbourhood comparables and rental demand profiles. • Legal and tax briefing for international purchasers, including Spanish ownership costs and residency implications. • Return modelling: conservative scenarios for long‑let and short‑let with sensitivity to seasonality. • End‑to‑end operational support: introductions to property managers and rental platforms.

The property as a case study in selection criteria

Use this penthouse as a checklist for similar Marbella purchases. The photos show a terrace with sea aspect and communal pool—both contribute materially to lettability. Presence of a garage and lift addresses operational barriers for long‑term tenants and increases marketability to higher‑net‑worth renters. The construction year (2004) implies a mid‑life maintenance profile; buyers should budget for systems checks (HVAC, glazing and waterproofing on terraces). Maiti Homes flags these considerations in their dossier, which allows buyers to price future capex into net yield calculations rather than discovering them post‑sale.

Quick underwriting checklist for this penthouse

• Confirm current community fees and any pending works charged to owners. • Verify garage title and any restrictions on rental type (short‑let vs long‑let). • Model two rental scenarios: conservative long‑let and managed short‑let with 60–70% peak season occupancy. • Obtain recent service charge accounts and utility cost history to estimate net operating income.

Marbella context: Nueva Andalucía and yield drivers

Nueva Andalucía is a mature sub‑market on Marbella’s western flank, defined by golf resorts, villa developments and a mix of permanent and seasonal residents. For international investors the appeal is predictable: established demand, proximity to Puerto Banús and a higher floor for price resilience during downturns. That said, Nueva Andalucía’s reliance on leisure and golf means seasonality is real. Maiti Homes frames this penthouse for buyers by quantifying seasonality risk and suggesting diversification strategies — for example mixing short‑let peak income with medium‑term leases off‑season to stabilise cashflow.

Risks and mitigants specific to the location

• Seasonality: mitigate with hybrid letting strategy and professional management. • Regulatory change to short‑lets: validate licence status and local council rules before purchase. • Running costs: confirm community reserve for works and accurate utility charge history.

What this listing reveals about Maiti Homes’s network and capability

Property image 9

Maiti Homes has been active in Marbella for two decades and specialises across vacation homes, rental units and luxury stock. Their portfolio selection, as illustrated by this penthouse, prioritises assets that are both saleable to lifestyle buyers and manageable as rental investments. The agency’s documented strengths—local relationships with property managers, architects and legal advisors—shortens the time from offer to revenue. For international buyers who cannot be on‑site continuously, that execution capability reduces operational friction and is a measurable part of acquisition cost.

How Maiti Homes adds quantifiable value

• Faster due diligence through curated document packs and reliable comparables. • Better pricing negotiation from local market intelligence. • Lower carrying costs via vetted management partners and maintenance forecasts.

Practical next steps for international buyers

If this penthouse meets your investment parameters, treat the listing as the start of a short, disciplined process: request the full service charge accounts and a breakdown of historical occupancy if already let; ask Maiti Homes for a three‑scenario cashflow model (conservative, base, upside); and confirm transfer costs including notary, registration and applicable taxes in Spain. Use the images to verify condition versus the dossier: terraces and glazing visible in the photos should match the maintenance records Maiti Homes provides.

For international buyers who prioritise predictable income and manageable operations, Maiti Homes’s presentation of this Marbella penthouse demonstrates both an asset that can fit a diversified real estate portfolio and an agency capable of mitigating execution risk. Contact Maiti Homes for the dossier and an underwriting pack to move from interest to offer with clarity.
