About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in El Chaparral, Costa del Sol. The south and southwest orientation floods the 86-square-metre interior with natural light throughout the day, whilst the 22-square-metre terrace captures both garden and Mediterranean vistas without obstruction.
The layout dedicates equal attention to living and sleeping quarters. Both bedrooms are double-sized, with the master suite incorporating an en-suite bathroom for privacy. The second bathroom serves guests and the second bedroom. The open-plan living area extends directly onto the terrace through full-width glazing, creating 108 square metres of combined indoor-outdoor space. The kitchen is fitted and functional, and one allocated parking space is included in the sale. Furniture can be negotiated separately if required.
Chaparral is a gated residential complex with 24-hour security, mature landscaped gardens, and a communal swimming pool maintained to a high standard. The development sits 400 metres from the beach, reachable on foot in under five minutes. El Chaparral Golf Club runs immediately adjacent to the complex, with the clubhouse and first tee a two-minute walk from the apartment. Marbella town centre lies 15 kilometres west along the coastal road, and Fuengirola is eight kilometres east for daily shopping and transport links.

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