About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torreblanca, Costa del Sol. This second-floor residence delivers 83 square metres of interior space wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass that slides open to dissolve the boundary between the lounge and a 20-square-metre covered terrace facing southwest across the bay of Fuengirola.
The open-plan kitchen comes fitted with integrated appliances and connects directly to the living area, whilst both bedrooms are served by dedicated bathrooms finished in ceramic tiling. The master bedroom includes electric blinds and benefits from the same southwest orientation as the main terrace. Air conditioning runs through a central system, and hot water is supplied via a thermodynamic unit. The property was completed in 2018, comes fully furnished, and includes one underground parking space alongside access to the communal pool, gym, and spa facilities.
Monte Paraiso sits in Torreblanca, a residential hillside neighbourhood that rises above the A-7 coastal motorway. The complex comprises 58 units and lies 2 kilometres inland from Fuengirola's marina and beach promenade, a seven-minute drive down through the lower town. The development's shared pool terrace overlooks the bay, and the spa area occupies the ground floor of the main building.

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