About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom finca in Costa del Sol East, Comares, Costa del Sol, this 2009-built property offers a rare chance to complete an unfinished country home entirely to your own specification. The structure stands ready with exterior walls, roof, windows and doors already installed, alongside some interior partition walls, providing a solid foundation for creating a bespoke rural retreat with panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
The 76sqm build sits on a generous 2,352sqm plot, with the current layout allowing space for two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and living area. A 15sqm covered terrace area has been designed to capture the sweeping landscape views. The blank canvas interior means you can select every finish, fixture and fitting to match your exact requirements, from flooring materials and kitchen cabinetry to bathroom suites and interior doors. The plot size provides ample opportunity to add landscaped gardens, outdoor dining areas or additional outbuildings subject to planning permissions.
The property sits in peaceful countryside between Riogordo and the whitewashed mountain village of Comares, approximately 6 kilometres from Comares town centre, where you'll find local shops, restaurants and the famous Balcón de la Axarquía viewpoint. The location offers genuine rural tranquillity whilst remaining accessible to the coastal towns of Torre del Mar and Vélez-Málaga within a 25-minute drive. The unfinished state is reflected in the asking approach, allowing budget for completion works whilst securing a substantial plot in an area where building land with these views has become increasingly scarce.

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