About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom finca with private pool in Alora, Costa del Sol. This 61-square-metre country property sits on 7,347 square metres of fully fenced land, offering space for equestrian use or small-scale agriculture. Built in 2008 and maintained to a high standard, the south-facing finca comes fully furnished and ready to occupy.
Inside, two bedrooms share one bathroom across a compact single-storey layout. The 19-square-metre terrace extends the living space outdoors, providing covered areas for dining and lounging with views across the surrounding terrain. The private pool occupies a dedicated section of the plot, with ample room for sunbathing and outdoor entertaining. One designated parking space sits near the entrance, accessed via a concrete driveway that connects to a one-kilometre dirt track. The property runs on mains electricity, with water delivered by truck. Two gated access points along the approach road add security and privacy to the setting.
The finca sits in the agricultural belt surrounding Alora village, where you'll find shops, restaurants, and the weekly market. The property is 10 minutes by car from Alora town centre, a traditional white village known for its Moorish castle ruins and position at the entrance to the Guadalhorce valley. The terrain rises gently towards the Sierra de las Nieves, with established olive and almond groves visible from the terrace. The entire plot is planted with mature trees, flowering shrubs, and productive fruit varieties that require minimal intervention throughout the year.

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