About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Alhaurin de la Torre, Costa del Sol. The 165sqm layout centres on a glass-walled living room that opens fully to connect the interior with a wraparound terrace, where the private pool catches morning and afternoon sun across five separate orientations. Both bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes, with the master opening onto front and rear terraces for sunrise and evening air.
The living space divides into separate sitting and dining zones, both served by the retractable glass wall that erases the boundary between inside and out. The kitchen comes fully equipped and fitted, and the penthouse includes one underground parking space. The terrace extends around multiple sides of the property, offering mountain views to the north and west. Air conditioning runs throughout, and the penthouse is sold fully furnished with contemporary fittings installed when the building was completed in 2004.
Resort Sol Andalusi provides a communal pool and gym within its gated grounds, set on the hillside above Alhaurin de la Torre's town centre. The property sits 15 minutes by car from Málaga Airport via the A-404, with the beaches of Torremolinos 20 minutes south along the same route. The town's main square, with its Thursday market and cluster of tapas bars around Plaza de la Juventud, lies three kilometres downhill.

9 questions answered
Buying this penthouse in Alhaurín de la Torre
Can foreigners buy property in Alhaurín de la Torre?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Alhaurín de la Torre. 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 Alhaurín de la Torre?
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.
