About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Vélez-Málaga, Costa del Sol. This 75-square-metre apartment holds a tourism licence, allowing you to generate rental income when you're not using it yourself. Built in 1987 and renovated, it delivers a functional layout that makes daily life straightforward.
Inside, two bedrooms share a modern bathroom, while the living room connects directly to a fully equipped kitchen. A large storage room provides extra space for luggage, sports equipment or seasonal items. The layout avoids wasted corridors, so the 75 square metres feel larger than the floor plan suggests. Two terraces expand the usable space: a front terrace catches the sun throughout the day, and a rear terrace offers a quieter spot away from the communal areas. The apartment comes fully furnished, so you can move in or start renting immediately.
The property sits in Caleta de Vélez, a working fishing village on the eastern stretch of the Costa del Sol. A communal pool measuring seven metres by 20 metres serves the building, with a separate children's pool alongside it. The marina at Caleta de Vélez lies within a five-minute walk, where you'll find restaurants serving the day's catch and a promenade that runs along the water. Málaga Airport is 40 minutes west along the A-7 coastal road.

Buying this apartment in Costa del Sol East
Can foreigners buy property in Vélez-Málaga?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Vélez-Málaga. 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 Vélez-Málaga?
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.
