About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Guaro, Costa del Sol. This middle-floor property in Residencial Flor de Almendro grants you access to a communal pool while maintaining the privacy and lower maintenance costs that come with apartment living. The 111sqm layout includes two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own balcony that draws natural light through the living spaces.
The main bedroom features an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bathtub, whilst the second bathroom serves the rest of the apartment with a shower. The open-plan living area extends onto a small balcony, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. A separate kitchen provides ample worktop and storage space for daily use, complemented by a dedicated laundry room that keeps utility functions out of sight. The property comes with pre-installation for air conditioning and one parking space. Built in 2010, the apartment is sold unfurnished, allowing you to configure the interiors to your own requirements.
Residencial Flor de Almendro sits within Guaro village, a traditional white-washed settlement in the Guadalhorce Valley known for its almond groves and mountain backdrop. The complex lies 25 minutes' drive from Marbella's coastal centre, positioning you between the inland authenticity of rural Málaga and the beaches of the western Costa del Sol. Guaro's village square, with its weekly market and local restaurants, is a five-minute walk from the development.

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