Nestled in Estepona, property HQL-3E449 represents a measured example of contemporary Costa del Sol living: a two‑bedroom apartment completed as part of a new-construction development, designed to balance daylight, sea breezes and practical finishes for year‑round use.

Discovering the apartment on Avenida San Eusebio

Property image 1

Set within an 87‑home gated project, this 96 m² apartment sits on a south‑facing façade that prioritises light and coastal exposure. Priced at EUR 450,000 in the current brochure, the layout gives practical living space across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a terrace that extends the primary living area outdoors. As shown in the photos, interiors emphasise clean geometry and high‑quality finishes — neutral surfaces that suit international tastes without bespoke local styling.

The development’s communal offer is a clear selling point: a saline‑chlorinated swimming pool, private gym, landscaped gardens and underground parking with storage rooms. These shared amenities are designed for low‑maintenance living, a key concern for many international buyers who plan seasonal occupancy or rental management.

How the apartment reflects M2Nordic’s sourcing criteria

M2Nordic’s approach favours new‑build schemes with demonstrable planning, developer track records and location logic. This Estepona apartment meets those filters: south orientation, proximity to transport and local services, and a developer programme that schedules completion across a clear two‑year timeline. For international buyers, those elements reduce execution risk and simplify post‑purchase management.

What M2Nordic checks before presenting a new build

  • Title and planning integrity: confirmation that the site lines up with municipal records and that necessary permits are in place.
  • Developer track record: previous completions, warranty enforcement and on‑the‑ground delivery speed.
  • Specification versus photos: cross‑checking promotional imagery with sample flats and materials to avoid post‑purchase surprises.

Those checks are visible in this listing: the images show consistent finishes, and the plan for a secure gated community with underground parking and storage aligns with what M2Nordic typically advocates for international purchasers seeking minimal local administration.

Location context — Estepona’s practical appeal

Estepona sits on the western end of the Costa del Sol with a local market that combines established domestic demand and a steady stream of international buyers. The Avenida San Eusebio address places this project close to civic amenities — the municipal athletics stadium and Felipe VI Theatre — and within easy reach of the marina and central gastronomic areas. That mix supports both lifestyle use and straightforward rental demand for short and medium‑term lets.

Buyers should note two practicalities in Estepona: first, coastal orientation often commands a price premium relative to inland blocks; second, new construction brings an added layer of public fees and phased payments that must be factored into total acquisition cost and cashflow modelling.

Property features that matter to international buyers

  • Sea view and south aspect — positive for resale and seasonal occupancy.
  • Underground garage and storage — essential for long‑term maintenance and letting compliance.
  • Saline pool and communal gym — lower maintenance than traditional chlorine pools and desirable to tenants.

The photographs highlight these elements: terraces with coastal sightlines, clear render and material choices, and communal landscaping that frames the buildings. For purchasers who cannot inspect in person, consistent visual documentation reduces uncertainty — a point M2Nordic emphasises when compiling dossiers for remote buyers.

Practical checklist for viewing similar listings remotely

  1. Request as‑built floor plans with dimensions and orientation marked.
  2. Obtain a developer completion schedule and bank guarantee details for early buyer payments.
  3. Ask for a photographic verification report of show flats and construction progress at specific dates.

Why international buyers work with M2Nordic on Costa del Sol new builds

Based in Marbella and with two decades in the market, M2Nordic positions itself between developer sales teams and buyers. Their work concentrates on clarifying contractual terms, estimating final costing beyond the purchase price and coordinating local representation for non‑resident clients. In practice this means preparing a dossier that includes title extracts, community statutes, projected community fees and likely tax implications — the documents international buyers need to make a defensible decision.

M2Nordic’s rating and experience are part of the assessment Ashworth & Drake carries out when recommending representation: two decades in the market indicates longevity, but buyers should still request examples of recent completions and third‑party references for new‑build projects.

How M2Nordic adds practical value on this listing

  • Local negotiation on payment schedules to align with buyer funding windows.
  • Coordination of independent technical surveys and legal checks prior to reservation.
  • Assistance setting up property management and utility accounts to make seasonal occupation straightforward.

M2Nordic’s documentation‑first approach is visible in the way the apartment is presented: clear images, specification notes and a published construction timeline. That transparency helps international clients evaluate timing risks and expected handover obligations.

A candid assessment for buyers considering this apartment

Strengths: modern specification, south orientation, communal amenities and proximity to Estepona’s central services make the apartment suitable for both personal use and rental. Risks and considerations: premium for sea‑facing aspects, phased payment requirements typical of Q4 2025–Q4 2027 construction schedules, and community fee forecasts that should be independently verified.

For international buyers, the decision should rest on three confirmations: developer financial guarantees, full disclosure of community statutes and a written schedule for handover. M2Nordic can facilitate those confirmations; buyers should insist on seeing original documents and certified translations where necessary.

Next steps and how to proceed

If this Estepona apartment matches your requirements, request M2Nordic’s full dossier: title extracts, community statutes, the developer’s bank guarantee and projected operating costs. Arrange a remote walkthrough or an in‑person viewing; the images available in the listing will help you prioritise which elements to inspect on site. For cross‑border buyers, engage a Spanish solicitor to review reservation and purchase contracts before signing.

Contact M2Nordic in Marbella to request documentation or to arrange viewings. Their local presence, familiarity with new‑build processes on the Costa del Sol and practical dossier preparation make them a reasonable partner for international buyers who value clarity and procedural rigour.

The images supplied with the listing illustrate the apartment’s material quality and common areas — use them as a reference during due diligence and ask the agency to time‑stamp any additional photos or video to confirm current progress against the published construction timeline.
