About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. This 97sqm ground-floor residence sits second line to the beach, placing the Mediterranean shoreline within a two-minute walk. A private courtyard extends the living space outdoors, enclosed for morning coffee or evening meals without overlooking from neighbouring properties.
Inside, the layout dedicates 97sqm to two double bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with a fully fitted kitchen connecting to the main living areas. The ground-floor position eliminates stairs and provides direct access to the courtyard from the living room. Part-furnished throughout, the apartment includes essential pieces whilst leaving scope to personalise the interiors. Both bedrooms accommodate double beds, and the second bathroom serves guests without requiring access through private sleeping quarters.
Jardines de la Butiplaya occupies a beachside plot with a communal swimming pool set within landscaped gardens that provide year-round greenery. The complex stands 150 metres from La Cala beach, where a promenade runs east towards Calahonda and west into the town centre. Local supermarkets, restaurants and cafés line the streets within a five-minute walk, and the town's weekly market sets up 400 metres from the entrance every Wednesday and Saturday.

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.
