About this property
Overview
One-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This recently renovated property sits within the gated Urb. Alcántara complex in El Chaparral, where southwest-facing windows frame Mediterranean views across the coastline. The 72sqm interior has been fully refurbished with contemporary finishes, and the property comes fully furnished.
The ground-level layout currently provides one bedroom and one bathroom, though the existing floor plan allows for straightforward conversion into a two-bedroom configuration without structural alterations. The open-plan living area connects to a private terrace where the sea views extend across the rooflines toward the water. One allocated parking space is included, and residents share access to a communal swimming pool set within landscaped gardens. The kitchen has been fitted with modern appliances and storage, and the bathroom features updated fixtures throughout.
Urb. Alcántara occupies a residential hillside position in El Chaparral, with the beach accessible on foot in five minutes. The complex sits 800 metres from Calahonda's commercial centre, where supermarkets, restaurants and services operate year-round. Marbella lies 15 kilometres west along the A-7 coastal road, while Fuengirola is eight kilometres east. The property holds an active tourist licence, permitting short-term holiday rentals under Andalusian regulations.

Buying this townhouse 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.
