About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with full renovation in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This 74sqm property combines contemporary finishes with the character of a 1974 building, now transformed into a modern residence. The renovation extends throughout, delivering a luxurious bathroom and two comfortable bedrooms within a fully furnished layout ready for immediate use.
Inside, the 74 square metres accommodate a functional floor plan with two bedrooms, one renovated bathroom, and living spaces fitted with modern furnishings. The kitchen features updated appliances and worktops, while the bathroom includes contemporary fixtures and tiling. Both bedrooms offer built-in wardrobes, and the entire apartment benefits from neutral décor that maximises natural light. The property holds a tourist rental licence and currently generates income through short-term lets.
The apartment sits within Mijas Pueblo, the whitewashed village perched 430 metres above sea level. Plaza de la Constitución, the village's main square surrounded by restaurants and tapas bars, stands 200 metres from the property. The building occupies a central position on one of the traditional cobbled streets where local boutiques and artisan shops operate year-round. Fuengirola beach lies 7 kilometres down the winding mountain road, a 15-minute drive through pine-covered slopes. The property's location provides walking access to the village bullring, the miniature donkey sanctuary, and the clifftop mirador offering views across the coastal plain to the Mediterranean.

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