About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment in Cancelada, Costa del Sol. Built in 2019 across 144 square metres, this ground-level residence opens directly onto a 42-square-metre private garden, creating an immediate connection between interior living space and outdoor terrace. The open-plan layout links the living and dining areas to the garden through full-width glazing, while a separate laundry area and rear patio add functional space beyond the main footprint.
The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom is served by an additional full bathroom. The kitchen comes fully fitted with integrated appliances and flows into the main living area. From the private garden, a gate opens directly onto the communal grounds, allowing unobstructed access to shared facilities without returning through the apartment. The separate rear patio provides a secondary outdoor area for storage or utility use, distinct from the main garden terrace.
Miradores del Sol is a gated community in Cancelada with landscaped gardens and a shared swimming pool. The development sits less than ten minutes' walk from Villa Padierna Beach Club and approximately 1.5 kilometres from Cancelada's commercial centre, where supermarkets, cafés, and local services cluster along the main avenue. Estepona town centre lies seven kilometres west, while Puerto Banús is nine kilometres east along the A-7 coastal road.

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