About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property has been completely renovated to create a contemporary layout across 88 square metres of living space, complemented by a 16-square-metre private terrace that extends the usable area outdoors.
Inside, the apartment offers two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, alongside an independent kitchen that separates cooking from living areas. The spacious lounge connects directly to the terrace, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The property comes part-furnished and includes one allocated parking space within the development. Built in 2003, the apartment benefits from the maturity of established communal gardens whilst maintaining modern interiors following its recent refurbishment. The 88-square-metre footprint has been efficiently planned to maximise both storage and living areas without wasted circulation space.
The apartment sits within Urbanización El Gamonal, a quiet residential development positioned between the coast and the hills. San Pedro de Alcántara town centre lies approximately 2 kilometres away, providing access to supermarkets, restaurants and weekly markets. The location offers straightforward access to Puerto Banús, La Quinta Golf and the mountain village of Benahavís, each reachable within a 10-minute drive. The development's position away from main roads ensures minimal traffic noise whilst maintaining connectivity to the AP-7 motorway for journeys along the Costa del Sol.

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