About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Vélez-Málaga, Costa del Sol. The 37sqm terrace extends the 51sqm interior into an outdoor living space where the morning light arrives unfiltered and the sound of the sea carries across from the shoreline below. Built in 1990 and sold fully furnished, this apartment delivers a rare combination of compact interior design and generous outdoor proportions that most coastal properties struggle to achieve.
Inside, the open-plan layout connects the living area directly to the bedroom without wasted corridor space, while the single bathroom sits between both zones with practical efficiency. The kitchen runs along one wall with integrated appliances and stone worktops, and full-height windows frame views across the terrace towards the Mediterranean. Storage built into the bedroom wall keeps the 51sqm footprint uncluttered, and the terrace itself holds a private plunge pool, outdoor seating area, and enough room for a dining table under the pergola.
The apartment sits in Costa del Sol East, where the coastline between Torre del Mar and Nerja remains less developed than the western stretches. Vélez-Málaga town centre lies 4km inland, and the nearest beach access at Caleta de Vélez marina is a six-minute drive down the coastal road. The A-7 motorway connects to Málaga Airport in 35 minutes, while the old fishing villages along this stretch retain their working waterfronts and weekday fish markets.

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