About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment in La Cala Hills, Costa del Sol, set within a small community of just 16 homes with direct views across open countryside towards the surrounding mountains. The terrace extends across 33 square metres, offering space enough for outdoor dining and lounging with a backdrop of natural terrain rather than neighbouring buildings.
Inside, the 100 square metres are divided across two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a functional kitchen with an adjoining utility room that houses the laundry area, and a living space that opens directly onto the terrace. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, whilst the second bedroom serves equally well as a guest room or home office. The kitchen layout provides worktop space and storage without feeling cramped, and the utility room keeps washing machines and storage out of sight. Both bathrooms are finished to a practical standard, with the en-suite featuring a walk-in shower.
The apartment sits within the Doña Beni complex, where residents share access to a communal swimming pool and maintained gardens. La Cala de Mijas centre lies approximately three kilometres away, reachable in under ten minutes by car, where you'll find the beachfront, supermarkets, and a selection of restaurants along the seafront promenade. The property was built in 2005 and remains in excellent condition throughout, with tiled floors, white-painted walls, and double-glazed windows fitted as standard.

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