About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in El Faro, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence has been renovated throughout using premium materials, including porcelain worktops in the kitchen and electric blinds in both bedrooms. The renovation extends to the bathrooms, where one serves as an en-suite to the master bedroom, whilst the second is positioned for guest convenience.
Inside, 75 square metres of living space includes a kitchen fitted with integrated appliances: an induction hob with concealed extractor, built-in oven and microwave, and a full-size dishwasher. The open-plan layout connects to a 20-square-metre terrace with south-east orientation, catching morning light. Both bedrooms are double-sized, and the apartment comes with one allocated parking space. High-end cabinetry runs throughout the kitchen, and the porcelain surfaces extend from worktops to splashbacks.
El Faro Condominium comprises just five homes, set around a shared pool and landscaped gardens that remain quiet year-round. The complex sits 400 metres from El Faro lighthouse, a working beacon visible from the coastal path that runs between Marbella and Fuengirola. Marbella town centre is a 12-minute drive west, whilst Málaga airport lies 35 minutes east along the A-7. The apartment is unfurnished and scheduled for completion in 2026.

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