About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence captures morning light through east-facing windows and opens onto a 13-square-metre terrace that extends the living space outdoors. The terrace connects directly to a private garden area, offering uninterrupted mountain views across the surrounding terrain and creating a secluded spot for outdoor dining throughout the year.
Inside, 71 square metres of living space includes a bright lounge-dining room with direct terrace access, a functional kitchen ready for personalisation, and two double bedrooms fitted with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom serves both bedrooms, whilst the ground-floor position eliminates stairs entirely. One allocated parking space is included. The apartment comes part-furnished, and the east orientation means natural light floods the main rooms each morning whilst avoiding the intense afternoon heat of summer months.
Calahonda Royale provides residents with a communal pool and maintained gardens set back from the main coastal road. The complex sits 1.2 kilometres from Calahonda beach, reachable in under fifteen minutes on foot via the pedestrian path that cuts through the lower part of the urbanisation. Local supermarkets, restaurants and the Calahonda commercial centre are all within a ten-minute walk, whilst Marbella lies 20 kilometres west and Málaga airport 35 kilometres east along the A-7 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.
