About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with private pool in San Luis de Sabinillas, Costa del Sol. This 66-square-metre first-floor residence has been refurbished throughout and comes fully furnished, with an east-facing orientation that draws morning light into the living spaces. The flat includes a lift, air conditioning and individual heating, with exterior access adapted for reduced mobility.
Inside, you'll find fitted wardrobes in the bedroom, one full bathroom, and a 6-square-metre terrace extending the living area outdoors. The kitchen is equipped and ready for immediate use. The layout separates the sleeping quarters from the main living zone, and the refurbishment has updated the finishes while retaining the building's 1987 structure. Each room benefits from the east-facing aspect, keeping the flat cool through the afternoon.
Punta Almina sits in central Sabinillas, with the beach a short walk from the entrance and shops lining the surrounding streets. The complex provides a communal pool and landscaped gardens for residents. The property is currently tenanted under a lease running until May 2027, making it suitable for investors seeking an income-generating asset with an existing occupant. Viewings are available but depend on the tenant's schedule.

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