About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. This new-build property sits directly on the Paseo Marítimo, placing the shoreline just metres from the front door. The 56-square-metre terrace extends the living space outward, allowing Mediterranean light to flood the interior throughout the day.
Inside, 124 square metres of living space accommodates two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The open-plan layout connects the kitchen to the living area, which opens directly onto the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glazing. Neutral finishes and contemporary fittings define the interiors, which are delivered unfurnished with completion set for 2025. One underground parking space is included in the sale. The terrace measures large enough to accommodate dining furniture and loungers, with unobstructed sea views across the width of the space.
The property forms part of Habitat Alborán Bora, a gated development with a communal swimming pool and landscaped gardens. The building stands on the beachfront promenade, with direct pedestrian access to Playa de la Carihuela 50 metres away. Torremolinos town centre lies 1.5 kilometres east along the coastal path, reachable on foot in under 20 minutes. Málaga Airport sits 7 kilometres north, a 12-minute drive via the A-7 motorway.

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