Legal Situation – What Buyers Should Know

One crucial aspect to consider when looking at properties for sale in River Garden is the urbanization's legal status. The development was previously protected under the LEP (Ley de Edificación Protegida), which provided a level of legal regularization for properties that were otherwise outside full planning compliance.

What Changed?

The LEP protection was revoked, meaning River Garden no longer benefits from the same legal backing it once had.

As a result, the urbanization is currently in a legal "grey zone" — not fully illegal, but also not fully regularized in terms of urban planning.

What Does This Mean for Buyers?

You can still buy and sell properties in River Garden.

Mortgages are generally more difficult (but not impossible) to obtain, depending on the bank.

Resale value and legal security may be affected compared to fully legalized developments.

Some buyers see this as an opportunity for long-term investment if the legal status becomes clearer or regularized in the future.

We strongly recommend that interested buyers consult an experienced real estate lawyer to understand the full implications based on current regulations.

Who is River Garden Ideal For?

Buyers looking for a spacious, affordable apartment in a prime location.

Golfers who want to live close to multiple courses.

Investors who are aware of the legal status and can plan accordingly.

Holiday-home seekers who want peace and greenery but with proximity to the action

Final Thoughts

River Garden remains a hidden gem in Nueva Andalucía, offering space, privacy, and a fantastic location. While the legal situation requires caution and due diligence, it also means prices are typically lower than in other nearby developments — potentially offering good value for informed buyers.
