About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse in Monda, Costa del Sol, occupying an entire floor in a lift-serviced building in the town centre. The 115sqm layout places all essential amenities within walking distance whilst maintaining the elevated position that defines penthouse living in this white-washed mountain village.
The entrance hall opens onto a fitted kitchen and a separate living-dining room with terrace access. The 12sqm outdoor space extends the internal footprint and provides an additional area for outdoor dining or morning coffee with views across the rooftops. Two bedrooms share a family bathroom, and the property includes a dedicated storage room as part of the sale. Built in 2004, the apartment retains its original finishes in good condition, with tiled floors throughout and a functional kitchen layout that maximises the available space. The lift access removes the typical drawback of upper-floor living in a traditional Andalusian building.
Monda sits at 427 metres above sea level, 20 minutes by car from Marbella's coastal strip. The town's position on the edge of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park places hiking trails and mountain terrain within immediate reach, whilst the proximity to the A-355 road connects residents to Coín in 10 minutes and the AP-7 motorway in under half an hour. The building stands on a street lined with local shops, bars and a weekly market, with the historic Monda Castle visible from several points in the town.

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