About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. This duplex spans two levels across 120 square metres of interior space, complemented by 35 square metres of private terraces that frame mountain views across the surrounding landscape. A recent renovation has introduced a modern open-plan layout connecting the living and dining areas to a fully fitted kitchen equipped with Bosch appliances, whilst electric underfloor heating runs throughout both floors for year-round comfort.
The accommodation comprises two double bedrooms and two bathrooms distributed across the duplex layout. The kitchen features contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, and the living space opens directly onto the main terrace through full-height glass doors. Both bathrooms have been updated with modern fixtures and tiling, and the property comes fully furnished with a neutral palette that maximises natural light. Built in 2004, the apartment sits within a gated community that includes communal gardens and a residents' pool, with private terraces offering space for outdoor dining or morning coffee against the mountain backdrop.
The community lies within a five-minute drive of La Cala de Mijas beach, where a broad stretch of sand meets a promenade lined with chiringuitos and seafood restaurants. The town centre, with its weekly market, supermarkets, and tapas bars, sits less than two kilometres away. Several championship golf courses, including La Cala Resort's three 18-hole layouts, are accessible within ten minutes by car. Málaga Airport connects to the property via the A-7 coastal motorway in under 30 minutes, and the gated entrance provides secure vehicle access and pedestrian entry with an intercom system.

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