About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Elviria, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence has been fully renovated to create 140 square metres of contemporary living space, where clean lines and modern finishes extend across an open-plan layout designed for easy coastal living.
The apartment delivers two double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom fitted with walk-in showers and floor-to-ceiling tiling. The kitchen opens directly onto the living area, with integrated appliances and stone worktops running the full length of the preparation zone. A 20-square-metre terrace extends the living space outdoors, with direct access to the communal gardens. The property includes one designated parking space within the gated perimeter and comes with the option to purchase fully furnished.
Jardines de las Golondrinas sits on the beachfront in Elviria, a two-minute walk from the sandy shore and the coastal boardwalk that connects a string of beach restaurants along this stretch of the eastern Costa del Sol. The complex maintains manicured gardens around a large communal pool staffed by a lifeguard during summer months, with an on-site restaurant serving throughout the day. Don Carlos Resort lies immediately adjacent, home to the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy and a full spa facility. Central Elviria, with its supermarkets and daily services, is a five-minute walk inland from the entrance gates.

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