About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment in Las Lagunas, Costa del Sol. This middle-floor residence spans 57 square metres of well-organised living space, delivered fully furnished and maintained in excellent condition since its 2006 construction. Air conditioning provides climate control throughout, whilst double glazing ensures year-round comfort and reduces external noise.
The apartment contains a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes that maximise storage without encroaching on floor space, and one bathroom. A lift provides direct access to the floor, eliminating stair climbs with shopping or luggage. The building sits within convenient reach of public transport links, connecting residents to the wider Costa del Sol without requiring a car for daily errands.
Las Lagunas occupies a residential pocket of Mijas Costa, positioned 4 kilometres inland from Fuengirola's beaches and promenade. The neighbourhood functions as a practical base for those working along the coast or seeking lower-density living than the beachfront towns offer, with local shops and services within walking distance. Málaga Airport lies 25 kilometres northeast, reachable in under 30 minutes via the A-7 coastal motorway.

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