About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Torreblanca, Costa del Sol. The elevated position delivers partial Mediterranean vistas from the 15sqm terrace, where morning coffee comes with a coastal backdrop stretching towards Fuengirola's shoreline.
Inside, 80sqm of living space includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with part furnishing already in place. The apartment comes with an underground parking space and access to a communal pool. Built in 2003, the property presents in good overall condition whilst offering scope for cosmetic updates to modernise the kitchen and bathrooms. A transferable tourist licence accompanies the sale, making this a rental-ready investment on the Costa del Sol. The layout separates the two bedrooms across the apartment, providing privacy for guests or family.
Torreblanca sits between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, with a bus stop directly outside the urbanisation entrance connecting to Fuengirola centre in under 10 minutes. The neighbourhood maintains a residential character whilst remaining within 1.5km of Torreblanca beach, where a mix of chiringuitos and open sand stretches along this quieter section of coastline. Local supermarkets and services cluster within a five-minute walk, and the A7 coastal road runs parallel to the area for access east towards Málaga or west to Marbella.

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.
