About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. This top-floor property occupies 78 square metres of living space plus a 10-square-metre terrace that catches the morning sun. The terrace opens directly from the living-dining room, creating an outdoor extension for breakfast or evening drinks above the communal gardens.
Inside, the apartment provides two bedrooms, one bathroom, and air conditioning installed throughout. The 78-square-metre layout follows a functional floor plan that separates the living areas from the sleeping quarters. One allocated parking space comes with the property, eliminating the need to search for street parking. The gated community includes a communal swimming pool, paddle tennis courts, and maintained gardens shared among residents. Built in 1999, the apartment sits on the top floor, which means no footfall noise from above.
The property lies on the beachside between San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús, placing it within a 10-minute walk of San Pedro town centre and a five-minute drive from Puerto Banús marina. The beach and the coastal boardwalk sit just minutes away on foot, with local shops and restaurants clustered along the same route. The gated entrance provides controlled access to the community, while the beachside location keeps the property within easy reach of the shoreline without commanding beachfront prices.

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