Investing in Malaga

The real estate market in Málaga and the Costa del Sol continues to establish itself as one of the most attractive in Spain, both for domestic and international buyers. The combination of its exceptional climate, growing infrastructure, and favourable tax environment makes this area a prime destination for acquiring properties for residential, investment, and holiday purposes. In response to this growing demand, the international law firm Giambrone & Partners has opened a new office in Málaga, strengthening its presence in Spain and bringing its services closer to clients interested in buying and selling properties in the region.

With its new office in the Costa del Sol, Giambrone & Partners reinforces its presence in the country, adding to its offices in Barcelona, Madrid, and Gran Canaria. This expansion responds to the need to offer specialised legal advice in the real estate sector to both foreign and domestic investors looking to benefit from the opportunities available in the area. The firm specialises in the legal management of real estate transactions, ensuring secure operations that comply with current regulations.

Investing in a property in Málaga or the Costa del Sol is a strategic decision with multiple benefits. In addition to its excellent climate, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, the region stands out for its high quality of life, excellent connectivity with the rest of Europe through Málaga Airport, and a wide range of services, leisure, and cultural activities. Cities like Marbella, Estepona, and Fuengirola offer a perfect combination of luxury, tranquillity, and profitability for investors and residents alike.

From a tax perspective, the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) in Andalusia is significantly lower than in other regions such as Catalonia. In Andalusia, the general rate is 7%, while in Catalonia, it can reach up to 10%, as in other areas of Spain. This difference translates into significant savings when purchasing properties, increasing profitability for investors. Additionally, Andalusia has implemented favourable tax policies to attract new residents and businesses, further strengthening its appeal as a prime real estate investment destination.

Málaga and the Costa del Sol offer an enviable quality of life, with an excellent culinary scene, access to renowned beaches and golf courses, and a safe, international environment. The growing demand for housing in the region has created attractive investment opportunities in both short-term holiday rentals and long-term leases, ensuring appealing returns for property owners.

With Giambrone & Partners' presence in Málaga, investors can rely on expert legal support throughout the entire buying and selling process, guaranteeing security and peace of mind in every transaction. With its network of offices in Spain and expertise in international real estate law, the firm positions itself as a key partner for those looking to invest in one of the most attractive real estate markets in Spain.
