What are the key differences between buying new-build and resale property in Marbella?

New‑builds offer contemporary layouts, energy efficiency, and developer warranties; taxes are 10% VAT plus AJD. Resales may offer larger plots, mature landscaping, and central locations; they incur ITP transfer tax.

Resales can allow quicker move‑in and negotiation on price or inclusions, while off‑plan/new‑builds provide customization and lower running costs. The right choice depends on priorities.
