About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Alhaurín de la Torre, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property spans 125 square metres and includes two east- and west-facing terraces that capture morning light and afternoon sun across the day. The dual-aspect orientation ensures natural brightness throughout the living spaces while mountain views frame the outdoor areas.
Inside, the layout accommodates two double bedrooms and two bathrooms across a well-proportioned floor plan. The open-plan living and dining area extends directly onto the first terrace, creating 40 square metres of combined indoor-outdoor space for year-round use. The independent kitchen comes part-furnished with fitted units and connects to the second terrace, which provides additional outdoor access. Both terraces measure approximately 15 square metres each, offering separate zones for dining and lounging. Built in 2008, the apartment retains its original finishes in good condition, with tiled floors and neutral wall tones throughout.
The property sits within La Alquería, a residential area surrounded by natural landscapes and mature palm trees. Residents share access to two communal swimming pools, one with an adjacent pool bar, plus an on-site gym and sports facilities. Málaga Airport lies 12 kilometres away, reachable in under 15 minutes by car, whilst the beaches of Torremolinos are 14 kilometres to the south. The apartment's ground-floor position provides direct access to the communal gardens without stairs or lifts.

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