About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torrequebrada, Costa del Sol. This 87sqm property sits within a residential complex offering direct access at street level from one side whilst rising to the equivalent of a fourth floor on the opposite elevation, creating complete privacy and unobstructed sightlines across the surrounding landscape.
The apartment contains two double bedrooms and one full bathroom, all in good condition throughout. A private terrace extends the living space outdoors, positioned to receive natural light for much of the day. The property comes fully furnished and ready for immediate occupation. One allocated parking space is included, and residents share access to a communal swimming pool set within landscaped gardens. The complex provides extensive green areas and dedicated communal spaces designed for outdoor relaxation.
Torrequebrada sits 1.5 kilometres from Benalmádena Marina, where the waterfront promenade runs for over 800 metres past restaurants and mooring berths. The area takes its name from the Torrequebrada Casino, which stands 400 metres uphill from the beach. Local amenities including supermarkets and cafés line Avenida del Caribe, the main coastal road that connects this residential zone to central Benalmádena in under 10 minutes by car. The apartment was built in 2002 and occupies a position that allows street-level entry on one side whilst maintaining the privacy and outlook typically associated with upper-floor living on the other.

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