About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. Positioned on the corner of the building, this ground-floor property captures light from two aspects throughout the day, with south-west to north-west orientation framing views across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and the Genal river valley below.
The 76sqm interior holds two double bedrooms, the principal with an en-suite bathroom, plus a second full bathroom with shower. The kitchen comes fully fitted with integrated appliances and connects to a separate laundry room with space for washing machine and storage. Built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms and additional cupboards in the hallway provide storage without encroaching on floor space. A 6sqm terrace extends from the living area, facing south-west to catch afternoon sun. The apartment includes one allocated parking space and is presented in excellent condition, with furniture available by separate negotiation if required.
Gaucín sits at 626 metres elevation in the Serranía de Ronda, where whitewashed streets climb towards the Castillo del Águila ruins. The property stands within a three-minute walk of the village centre, where you'll find a weekly market, bakeries, tapas bars and a pharmacy. Ronda lies 45 minutes north by car, while the coastal towns of Estepona and Sotogrande are both 35 minutes south via the A-369. The building was completed in 2009 with rendered exterior walls and terracotta roof tiles typical of the region.

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