About this property

Overview

Vision Hills II sits above La Cala de Mijas, a working town on the Costa del Sol with a fishing village at its centre and residential sprawl climbing the hillsides inland. The development is set back from the coast by several kilometres, so this is not a beach location. You need a car for most errands, though La Cala proper is a short drive and offers supermarkets, banks, a health centre, and a stretch of restaurants along the seafront.

The apartments range from 102 to 134 square metres, all with two bathrooms. The smaller units have two bedrooms and suit couples or professional sharers who want more space than a typical coastal flat. The three-bedroom layouts, which reach 134 square metres, are large enough for families with young children or buyers who need a home office. The size and bedroom count mean these are not holiday boltholes. They are year-round homes or longer-stay rentals.

The development sits within a gated community with a shared swimming pool. The gates keep out casual traffic and give families peace of mind, but the trade-off is a reliance on the car. La Cala itself is lively in summer and quieter in winter, when many coastal businesses close. The town is popular with northern European residents, and English is widely spoken in shops and cafes. Golf courses dot the surrounding hills, and Marbella is half an hour west along the A7.

The apartments suit buyers who want space and security in a town setting, but who do not need to be on the beach. The distance from the coast and from Málaga, which is 40 kilometres east, means this is not the most connected location on the Costa del Sol.

VISSION HILLS II - APARTMENTS: Frequently Asked Questions

The apartments range from 102 to 134 square metres built size. The two-bedroom units start at 102 square metres, which gives you more floor space than most coastal flats and room for a proper living area. The three-bedroom layouts reach 134 square metres, large enough to include a dedicated workspace or a spare room for guests.

The apartments have private outdoor space, though the facts do not specify whether these are terraces or ground-floor gardens. What is certain is that the development includes a communal swimming pool, so the outdoor areas are a mix of private and shared. The community is gated, which means the shared facilities are restricted to residents.

You will need a car. Vision Hills II sits several kilometres inland from the centre of La Cala de Mijas, so the supermarkets, banks and restaurants along the seafront are not within walking distance. The hillside location means the development is set away from the town's day-to-day amenities.

Yes, the three-bedroom units reach 134 square metres, which is large enough for a family with young children or for a couple who want a home office. All apartments have two bathrooms, so the larger layouts do not gain an extra bathroom. The size and gated setting make these practical year-round family homes rather than compact holiday boltholes.

Málaga airport is 40 kilometres east of La Cala de Mijas. The journey takes around 40 minutes in normal traffic, though the inland location of Vision Hills II adds a few minutes to the drive. That distance is manageable for lock-up-and-leave use, but it means this is not the most convenient base for frequent short breaks.

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.
