About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment in El Chaparral, Costa del Sol, offering 50 square metres of private garden alongside a 25-square-metre terrace. The property holds an active tourist licence, making it immediately suitable for holiday letting income while providing substantial outdoor space rare for a two-bathroom apartment in this area.
Inside, the 89-square-metre layout separates two double bedrooms across a single level, each served by its own bathroom. The semi-open kitchen connects to a spacious living-dining area with direct terrace access, whilst a 17-square-metre front porch creates a secondary outdoor zone. A numbered parking space and dedicated storage room are included, with step-free access from the internal roadway to the front door. The apartment was completed in 2007 and benefits from the complex's additional unnumbered parking bays for guests.
Residencial Malibu Mansion is a gated community with landscaped gardens, a shared swimming pool, and 24-hour security. El Chaparral sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, placing Cabopino Marina approximately 2 kilometres east along the coastal road. The complex maintains its own internal vehicle circulation system, and residents access the property via a private road network within the development.

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