About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. This 81-square-metre property delivers considerably more space than most single-bedroom homes on the coast, allowing for a genuinely open living area and flexible use of the floor plan. The southwest orientation draws afternoon sun across the rooms and holds the light well into the evening, extending usable outdoor time through the cooler months when many east-facing properties fall into shadow by mid-afternoon.
The apartment includes one double bedroom, one bathroom, and a living space proportioned to accommodate both dining and lounge zones without compromise. The property comes fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation or rental. A private parking space is allocated, removing the usual stress of street hunting in a busy coastal town. The communal pool is notably large, offering the benefits of private pool living without the upkeep, and the southwest-facing terrace receives direct sun from midday onwards.
The property sits on the western edge of Torremolinos, directly adjacent to the Benalmádena boundary. Puerto Marina, with its working moorings, waterfront restaurants and evening terraces, lies a ten-minute walk from the front door. La Carihuela promenade and the beach are equally close, placing you within a tight radius of the coast's most active stretches. The building dates from 1984 and remains in good structural condition throughout.

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