About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. The property sits within a gated community that opens directly onto the sand, placing the Mediterranean just metres from your door. South-facing windows and a 6-square-metre balcony frame views across maintained gardens to the sea, while a fireplace in the living area adds warmth during cooler evenings.
The 77-square-metre interior requires renovation, offering scope to reconfigure the layout and finishes to suit your own preferences. Two bedrooms share one bathroom, and the ground-floor position provides level access from the communal parking area, where one allocated space is included. Natural light fills the apartment throughout the day thanks to the southern orientation, and furniture can be negotiated as part of the sale if required.
The gated community includes two swimming pools, a tennis court, a paddle court, and a social club for residents. La Cala de Mijas centre lies within a ten-minute walk, bringing restaurants, shops, and services within easy reach on foot. One assigned parking space is included in the communal parking area within the secure grounds.

Buying this apartment in La Cala de Mijas
Can foreigners buy property in La Cala De Mijas?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in La Cala De Mijas. 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 Cala De Mijas?
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.
