About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool access in Cancelada, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence opens directly onto the communal pool terrace, a rare configuration that creates an almost villa-like sense of outdoor extension. The 138sqm interior includes a generous living area that could accommodate a third bedroom, a practical consideration given the property's current two-bathroom layout.
The south-facing orientation delivers consistent natural light across 138 square metres of built space, complemented by a 25-square-metre terrace that functions as a threshold between private and communal zones. Both bedrooms are double-sized, each with its own bathroom, and the apartment is sold fully furnished with fittings that reflect its excellent condition. The 40-square-metre private garden area provides immediate outdoor space before stepping onto the shared grounds, where established planting and pool infrastructure have matured since the complex's 2001 construction.
Park Beach sits in the El Saladillo area of Cancelada, positioned 50 metres from the beach access path that leads to one of the quieter stretches of coastline between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara. The complex maintains landscaped gardens that buffer the property from the coastal road, and the communal pool runs parallel to the garden perimeter. Cancelada village centre lies 1.5 kilometres inland, where the weekly market and local services cluster around the main square.

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