About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This first-floor residence in the gated El Porton community captures sweeping vistas across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and the North African coastline, framed by a generous southwest-facing terrace accessible from both the lounge and the main bedroom. The covered outdoor space extends the living area and creates an all-day sun trap for alfresco dining.
Inside, the 104sqm layout delivers practical comfort across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite in the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and direct terrace access. The fully fitted kitchen was renovated two and a half years ago and includes a separate utility room for additional storage and laundry. The bright, open-plan lounge flows naturally onto the terrace, while the second bedroom offers flexible space for guests or a home office. One allocated parking space and optional furniture complete the package.
El Porton sits in the established Calahonda area, a gated complex with communal pool, landscaped gardens and 24-hour security. The development lies less than 2km from Calahonda's commercial centre, where supermarkets, restaurants and beach bars cluster around the coastal promenade. Marbella's marina and old town are a 15-minute drive west along the A-7, while Málaga airport is 35 minutes east via the same coastal motorway.

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