About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Costa del Sol East, Torrox Costa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence sits on the first line to the sea, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted Mediterranean horizons from the living room and terrace. The apartment was renovated recently and benefits from a lift that serves all floors, removing the usual top-floor climb while preserving the elevated coastal views.
The 82sqm layout centres around a spacious, light-filled living room that opens directly onto the terrace. Both bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, bringing the total bathroom count to two. The kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated appliances, including a new washing machine and water heater. Central air conditioning runs throughout, and double glazing on every window maintains a comfortable indoor temperature year-round while reducing external noise. The apartment is sold fully furnished, with all fittings and furniture included in the sale.
The building stands in Peñoncillo, a beachfront neighbourhood on Torrox Costa where a supermarket occupies the ground floor of the complex and the sandy shore lies one minute's walk from the entrance. Several restaurants operate within 100 metres of the property, and the wider Torrox Costa promenade stretches east and west along the waterfront, connecting a series of chiringuitos and beach bars. Málaga Airport sits 50 kilometres west via the A-7 coastal motorway.

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