About this property

Overview

Residencial Coto Homes offers apartments with one, two or three bedrooms, ranging from 75 to 147 square metres of built space. The smaller units suit singles or couples looking for a mountain-side base near the coast, while the three-bedroom layouts work for families who need space and want a home rather than a holiday flat. Every apartment has a terrace between 10 and 20 square metres, and the orientations include south west and north aspects. South west-facing homes get afternoon sun and views towards the coast, while north-facing units stay cooler in summer but lose direct sunlight. Each home comes with garage or parking space, and some units have private pools alongside the communal pool and gardens.

The development sits on the mountain side of the AP-7 motorway in Mijas, so road noise is a consideration for anyone sensitive to it. You are not walking to the beach from here: Playa de los Boliches takes seven minutes by car. ALDI is seven minutes on foot, and Colegio San Francisco de Asis school is a three-minute drive away, making school runs manageable. Fuengirola town centre, with its marina and full range of shops and restaurants, is eight minutes by car. Campo Los Lagos golf course is ten minutes away. Málaga Airport takes 33 minutes, which is longer than beachfront locations but still reasonable.

This location suits buyers who want mountain views and a quieter setting without being remote, and who accept that a car is necessary for most errands. Families will find schools and supermarkets close enough to make daily life practical. The trade-off is clear: you gain space, garden and pool settings, and slightly lower density than beachside blocks, but you lose the ability to walk to the sea or to live without a vehicle. The terraces and communal gardens make the most of the mountain-side position, and the apartment sizes are generous enough to work as permanent homes rather than holiday lettings.

RESIDENCIAL COTO HOMES: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de los Boliches is 2 kilometres away, which takes about seven minutes by car. This is not a walking distance for most people, so you need a vehicle to reach the coast. The development sits inland of the AP-7 motorway in Mijas, which keeps it quieter but removes the option of a quick stroll to the sea.

Homes face either south west or north. South west-facing apartments get afternoon sun and mountain views towards the coast, making them brighter and warmer. North-facing units stay cooler in summer but receive no direct sunlight, which suits buyers who want to avoid afternoon heat. Some apartments also overlook the communal pool and gardens.

Some units have private pools, while others share the communal pool and gardens. A private pool gives you control over maintenance and privacy, but you pay for upkeep. The communal pool is maintained by the community and costs less individually, but you share the space with neighbours.

A supermarket is 500 metres away, which takes about three minutes by car or seven minutes on foot. Beyond that, almost everything requires a vehicle: the beach, Fuengirola town centre, schools and the marina are all short drives rather than walks. Mijas is not a place where you can live without a car.

Málaga Airport is 18 kilometres away and takes about 33 minutes by car. That journey time is longer than beachfront developments closer to the terminal, but it remains manageable for lock-up-and-leave use or for collecting arriving guests. The airport run is straightforward along the AP-7.

Buying off-plan in 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.
