About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment in Elviria, Costa del Sol, offering a practical coastal base just minutes from the beach. Built in 2006, this 69sqm residence has been immaculately maintained, providing a low-maintenance retreat for regular escapes or as a lock-up-and-leave property. The single-level layout keeps everything accessible, whilst the 12sqm terrace extends the living space outdoors for morning coffee or evening dining.
Inside, the apartment delivers functional space across one double bedroom and one bathroom. The open-plan kitchen connects to the living area, creating a sociable layout that works well for one or two people. One designated parking space comes with the property, solving the perennial problem of street parking in coastal areas during high season. A storage room provides additional space for beach equipment, seasonal items, or sporting gear, with the option to acquire a second storage unit if needed.
Elviria sits on the eastern edge of Marbella, balancing coastal access with a quieter pace than the town centre. The apartment lies a five-minute drive from Nikki Beach, one of the Costa del Sol's established beach clubs, and roughly the same distance to the commercial centre of Elviria, where supermarkets, restaurants, and services cluster around the main roundabout. Marbella's Golden Mile and Puerto Banús sit 15 minutes west by car, whilst Málaga Airport is 35 minutes along the A-7 motorway.

Buying this apartment in Elviria
Can foreigners buy property in Elviria?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Elviria. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Elviria?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
