About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in La Quinta, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence overlooks the Mediterranean, surrounding mountains, and fairways from its 13sqm east-facing terrace, capturing morning light across a panorama that extends from green to blue. The apartment has been fully refurbished with contemporary interiors and comes with optional brand-new furniture designed by Elliott James.
Inside, 86sqm of living space flows through an open-plan kitchen and lounge that connects directly to the terrace. The kitchen features modern units and integrated appliances, while both double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms finished with walk-in showers. Marble-effect tiling runs throughout, and floor-to-ceiling glass in the living area frames the triple-aspect views. The apartment includes one allocated parking space and benefits from east orientation, which keeps rooms naturally lit through the morning and avoids afternoon heat.
Mirador La Quinta is a gated community with landscaped gardens, a communal swimming pool, and 24-hour security. The complex sits within the La Quinta Golf & Country Club estate, adjacent to the championship course designed by Manuel Piñero, where the clubhouse restaurant and pro shop are a three-minute walk from the entrance. San Pedro de Alcántara is 10 minutes by car, and Puerto Banús lies 15 minutes south along the A-7. The property was built in 1990 and remains in excellent condition following the recent refurbishment.

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