About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in El Paraíso, Costa del Sol. This corner ground-floor unit claims the largest private garden in the Cortijo del Golf complex at 102 square metres, offering a rare level of outdoor space wrapped in complete privacy. Built in 2020, the 112-square-metre interior opens through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors onto the southeast-facing garden, flooding the open-plan living areas with morning and afternoon light.
Inside, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms are finished to an immaculate standard with modern fixtures throughout. The 36-square-metre covered terrace extends the living space outdoors, while the garden provides ample room for a dining table, sun loungers, and a private pool. The kitchen features integrated appliances and stone worktops. One allocated parking space is included. Furniture is available by negotiation.
Cortijo del Golf is a gated community of 64 contemporary apartments in El Paraíso, with communal facilities including tennis courts, padel courts, and direct access to the adjoining golf course. The complex sits 2.5 kilometres from the beach at El Paraíso and 4 kilometres from Puerto Banús marina. Atalaya Golf & Country Club borders the development to the north, while El Paraíso Golf Club lies 800 metres to the west. The apartment's corner position within the complex means the garden wraps around two sides of the property, with mature planting along the perimeter providing natural screening from neighbouring units.

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