About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol, where west-facing windows flood 56 square metres with afternoon sunlight. The entrance hall creates a proper sense of arrival, separating the living space from the corridor in a way that feels deliberate rather than accidental. The living-dining room extends across the full width of the apartment, with dual-aspect windows that make the room feel significantly larger than its footprint suggests.
The kitchen sits adjacent to the living area, fully fitted and equipped with integrated appliances. The bedroom accommodates a double bed with space for wardrobes along one wall, whilst the bathroom includes a full-size bathtub. A 2-square-metre terrace extends from the living room, west-facing to catch the late sun. The apartment comes fully furnished, built in 2007 and maintained in excellent condition throughout, with a lift serving all floors in the building.
The location sits moments from El Corte Inglés in La Cala de Mijas, with the department store's car park visible from the street. Fuengirola's beachfront lies 4 kilometres south, reachable in under ten minutes by car. Supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants cluster within a five-minute walk, whilst the AP-7 motorway junction sits 2 kilometres north for access to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes. The building faces a quiet residential street with on-street parking available outside.

Buying this apartment in Mijas Costa
Can foreigners buy property in Mijas Costa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Mijas Costa. 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 Mijas Costa?
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.
