About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Mijas, Costa del Sol. The 35-square-metre south-facing terrace frames 180-degree views across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and the North African coast beyond. Recently renovated throughout, the 105-square-metre interior now features entirely new installations, contemporary finishes, and comes fully furnished to move-in standard.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining area connects directly to the terrace through full-width glazing. Both double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom opens onto the terrace. Two bathrooms serve the apartment, both updated with modern fixtures and tiling. The kitchen has been completely refitted with integrated appliances, stone worktops, and sleek cabinetry. An underground parking space and separate storage room are included with the property.
El Mirador de Mijas is a secure gated community with manicured communal gardens, a swimming pool, and 24-hour security. The whitewashed streets of Mijas Pueblo lie within a five-minute walk, where traditional tapas bars, artisan shops, and the famous Plaza de Toros occupy the hilltop setting. Málaga Airport sits 30 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway, and the beaches of La Cala de Mijas are 15 minutes by car. The complex occupies an elevated position above the golf valleys that roll down towards Fuengirola and the coast.

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