About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with mountain views in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This top-floor corner property sits metres from Plaza de la Constitución in Mijas Pueblo, delivering panoramic vistas across the Mediterranean and the Sierra de Mijas range from nearly every room. The 90-square-metre private roof terrace includes an integrated bar and uninterrupted sightlines along the coastline.
Inside, 130 square metres of living space has been fully renovated to excellent condition. The living room opens directly onto a private terrace, whilst two double bedrooms are served by two bathrooms. The kitchen benefits from the recent refurbishment, and one parking space is included. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the principal rooms frame the sea and mountain terrain, flooding the interiors with natural light throughout the day.
Mijas Pueblo's whitewashed streets and traditional plaza life sit on your doorstep, with local restaurants, artisan shops and the village's historic bullring within a two-minute walk. The coastal resorts of Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas lie 7 kilometres downhill, reachable in 12 minutes by car. Málaga Airport is 30 kilometres northeast along the A-7, making this penthouse equally suited to permanent residence and holiday use. The roof terrace's bar area overlooks terracotta rooftops that cascade down towards the glittering sea.

Buying this penthouse 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.
