About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment in Málaga, Costa del Sol, with a 400-square-metre private garden that extends the living space far beyond the 125-square-metre interior. This ground-floor position at Terrazas del Rodeo delivers direct access to a rare expanse of outdoor space, large enough for multiple seating areas, outdoor dining, children's play zones, or simply room to breathe. The apartment itself offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a 30-square-metre terrace that bridges the indoor and outdoor zones.
Inside, the layout spreads across 125 square metres with air conditioning throughout, a dedicated storage room, and one private garage space included. The apartment comes unfurnished, allowing you to configure the interiors to your own requirements. Built in 2003 and maintained in good condition, the property retains its original finishes while offering scope for personalisation. Both bedrooms accommodate double beds, and the two bathrooms service the layout without conflict.
Terrazas del Rodeo sits within walking distance of Puerto Banús, placing you 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the marina, its restaurants, and the beaches that line this stretch of the Costa del Sol. The complex provides two communal swimming pools and landscaped gardens shared among residents. High-speed internet is already installed, and the location keeps you close to gyms, business centres, and the daily conveniences of Marbella's western corridor without requiring a car for every errand.

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