About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with top-floor position in Puerto Banús, Costa del Sol. This property at Las Mimosas delivers nearly 88 square metres of private terrace space across two levels: a 17.72-square-metre covered terrace and almost 70 square metres of open-air terrace. The 154-square-metre interior provides room to reconfigure the layout around how you actually live.
Inside, two bedrooms and two bathrooms anchor the floor plan, with the total built area reaching 225 square metres when terraces are included. The covered terrace extends the living space outdoors year-round, while the expansive open terrace offers enough room for dining areas, loungers, and planting zones. The top-floor position means no footfall overhead and uninterrupted privacy on both terrace levels. Built in 2006, the apartment sits within a secure perimeter with controlled access.
Las Mimosas occupies a beachside plot in one of Puerto Banús's established residential pockets, with communal gardens, a swimming pool, gym, and spa facilities shared across the gated complex. The beach and promenade lie within a five-minute walk, while Puerto Banús marina, with its restaurants and retail frontage, is approximately 800 metres from the complex entrance. The property's terrace-to-interior ratio exceeds most comparable apartments in the area.

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