About this property

Overview

Vission Hills I sits on raised ground above La Cala de Mijas, a working coastal town midway between Marbella and Fuengirola. The homes are one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 68 square metres to 124 square metres, with the smaller units aimed at singles or couples and the larger ones at families or those wanting a separate study or guest room. All have open-plan living areas and terraces, and the two- and three-bedroom layouts typically place the main bedroom at one end of the flat with the others grouped at the opposite end.

La Cala itself is a fifteen-minute drive down the hill. The town has a sandy beach, a small marina, and enough supermarkets, bars and restaurants to make it serviceable year-round, though it is quieter and less international than Marbella or Puerto Banús. Málaga airport is forty-five minutes east by motorway. The development is not within walking distance of shops or the coast, so a car is necessary for most errands. The immediate surroundings are other residential schemes and open hillside, with views over the valley and out to sea.

The elevated position means the apartments get long sight lines and decent exposure to sun and breeze, but it also means the walk to anything beyond the development boundary involves a slope. The setting suits buyers who want a quieter base outside the more crowded parts of the Costa del Sol, and who are prepared to drive rather than walk to the beach or the weekly shop. It is less practical for anyone relying on public transport or looking for a village atmosphere within easy reach of their front door.

VISSION HILLS I: Frequently Asked Questions

The apartments range from 68 square metres to 124 square metres. The one-bedroom units sit at the smaller end of that scale, suited to singles or couples, while the three-bedroom layouts reach the upper limit and can accommodate families or provide space for a home office or guest bedroom.

La Cala de Mijas beach is a fifteen-minute drive downhill. The development is not within walking distance of the coast, so you need a car to reach the sand. The elevated position above the town means the journey back involves climbing several hundred metres of altitude.

All the apartments have private terraces. The exact size varies by layout, but each flat has its own outdoor space rather than relying solely on communal gardens. That means you can sit outside without leaving your front door, though maintenance of balconies and any planting on them falls to you as the owner.

The immediate surroundings are other residential developments and open hillside, so shops, restaurants and the beach all require a car. The setting is quiet and the views are uninterrupted, but you cannot walk to a supermarket or a cafe without descending a significant slope to reach La Cala de Mijas fifteen minutes away by road.

It can work year-round if you have a car and prefer a quieter hillside setting to a town-centre address. La Cala de Mijas stays open through the winter with enough services to avoid relying on Marbella or Fuengirola for every errand, but the Costa del Sol does see a drop in activity outside the summer months and you are starting from a residential area rather than the heart of the town.

Buying off-plan in La Cala De Mijas means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
