About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Malaga Centro, Costa del Sol. This 26th-floor residence occupies one of the North Tower's elevated positions within the city's tallest residential development, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted panoramic views across the capital and mountains beyond. The south-west orientation floods 83 square metres of interior space with afternoon light that extends well into evening.
The open-plan layout connects a fully equipped kitchen to a generous living area that opens directly onto a private terrace. Two double bedrooms provide separation from the main living space, each served by its own bathroom fitted with contemporary sanitation and walk-in showers. A dedicated parking space in the secure underground garage removes the complications of street parking in the city centre. The apartment was completed in 2024 with porcelain tiling throughout, double-glazed windows, and pre-installed air conditioning units in each room.
AQ Urban Sky rises 112 metres above the Martiricos district, placing residents within a 12-minute walk of Malaga's cathedral and the historic centre's network of pedestrian streets. The complex provides a residents' gymnasium on the ground floor and a rooftop swimming pool shared across the residential floors, with access controlled separately from the two international hotels that occupy the lower levels of the tower. The development sits 1.8 kilometres from Malagueta Beach, reachable by a direct bus route that runs every 15 minutes during daylight hours.

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