About this property
Overview
One-bedroom townhouse, fully renovated, in Las Chapas, Costa del Sol. This 1972 property has been completely refurbished with new electrical and plumbing installations throughout, transforming it into a modern beachside residence whilst retaining its original Andalusian character. The south-west orientation ensures natural light fills the 39 square metres of interior space from afternoon through sunset.
The open-plan layout maximises the compact footprint, with a contemporary kitchen fitted with integrated appliances and new cabinetry. The bedroom accommodates a double bed with built-in wardrobes, whilst the bathroom features modern sanitaryware and tiling installed during the recent works. A 20-square-metre private terrace extends the living space outdoors, providing room for dining furniture and sun loungers. The property is sold fully furnished down to kitchenware, bed linen and household essentials, making it immediately habitable or ready to operate as a holiday rental under its existing tourist licence.
Las Chapas sits on Marbella's eastern coastline, a quieter stretch favoured for its proximity to unspoilt beaches and local Spanish character. The townhouse stands within the Pueblo Andaluz community, a low-rise development typical of the area's residential architecture. Las Chapas beach lies 800 metres away, reachable on foot in under ten minutes. Marbella's town centre is a twelve-minute drive west along the A-7 coastal road, whilst Elviria's commercial centre with supermarkets and restaurants sits three kilometres to the east.

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