About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in La Alcaidesa, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence opens onto a covered terrace and private south-facing garden where the 10-metre swimming pool sits within landscaped tropical grounds. The 131-square-metre layout includes a spacious living room with direct terrace access, establishing an indoor-outdoor flow that extends the usable space throughout the warmer months.
Inside, the master bedroom features a full wall of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with direct terrace access, whilst the second double bedroom offers flexible configuration with equally generous built-in storage. The separate kitchen comes fully equipped with an enclosed utility area that keeps laundry and service functions out of sight. Both bathrooms are finished to full specification, and the entire apartment arrives fully furnished, allowing immediate occupation. Two reception rooms provide distinct zones for dining and relaxation, with the south-facing orientation drawing natural light across both spaces throughout the day.
The residence sits within an Andalusian-style development adjacent to The Links Golf and Resort, where the championship course runs along the Mediterranean shoreline. Sotogrande marina lies 4 kilometres west, offering restaurants and berths for vessels up to 50 metres. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa is accessible within a 7-minute walk, and the Gibraltar border crossing sits 10 minutes by car for international airport access. The apartment includes one designated parking space within the secure complex.

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