About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This 71sqm residence sits directly on the sand with unobstructed Mediterranean views from a private 11sqm south-facing terrace. The property underwent a complete renovation including new electrical and plumbing systems, double-glazed windows throughout, and custom joinery that maximises storage without compromising the open-plan flow.
The kitchen features integrated appliances and engineered stone worktops, positioned to connect with the living area whilst maintaining clear sightlines to the sea. The bedroom accommodates a king-size bed with fitted wardrobes, and the bathroom includes floor-to-ceiling tiling with a walk-in shower. Original architectural elements from the 1989 build have been retained where they add character, including the generous ceiling height of 2.7 metres. A dedicated parking space and access to the communal pool complete the practical elements, whilst the ground-floor positioning means you step from terrace to beach in seconds.
The property sits within walking distance of La Cala de Mijas town centre, approximately 1.2 kilometres east along the coastal path. Miraflores Golf Club lies 800 metres inland, and the beachfront promenade connects directly to a sequence of chiringuitos and the Torrenueva watchtower. Málaga Airport is a 25-minute drive via the A-7, with Marbella's Golden Mile 20 minutes in the opposite direction.

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.
