About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with private pool in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This 46-square-metre property occupies the fifth floor of a 1979-built residential block in Calahonda, where the included terrace extends the internal living space and provides an outdoor area for year-round use. The apartment requires updating but offers a functional layout within its compact footprint.
Inside, the single bedroom accommodates a double bed, while the bathroom includes standard fittings and a bathtub. The living area connects to an open kitchen, and the terrace is accessed directly from this main room. The property is sold unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to configure the space according to their own requirements. Communal facilities include a shared swimming pool available to all residents in the development.
Calahonda sits on the western edge of Mijas Costa, where local shops, cafés and restaurants operate within walking distance of the building. The coastal boardwalk runs along the shoreline approximately 400 metres from the apartment, connecting this part of the coast to neighbouring beaches and providing a pedestrian route towards La Cala de Mijas. Road access places Fuengirola 15 minutes to the east and Marbella 20 minutes to the west, with both towns offering larger shopping centres, marinas and additional dining options. The development itself maintains established gardens around the pool area, with mature planting providing shade during summer months.

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