About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. This three-storey residence spans 194 square metres across multiple levels, crowned by a rooftop terrace where a private pool commands mountain views to the north. Refurbished in recent years, the property maintains its 2008 build quality whilst incorporating contemporary finishes throughout.
The middle floor opens onto an integrated living, dining and kitchen area measuring approximately 50 square metres, with direct access to a west-facing terrace that captures afternoon light. Two double bedrooms occupy the lower level, each served by modernised bathrooms fitted with walk-in showers and rainfall heads. The upper floor functions as a private solarium, where the pool sits alongside sunbathing areas and an outdoor shower. A single underground parking space and part-furnished interiors complete the specification. Built-in wardrobes line the entrance hallway, whilst the kitchen incorporates Bosch appliances and stone worktops.
La Cala de Mijas sits 4 kilometres inland from La Cala beach, accessible via the A-7 coastal road in under eight minutes by car. The town centre, with its weekly market and selection of tapas bars along Calle del Carmen, lies 600 metres downhill on foot. Three 18-hole golf courses operate within a 10-minute drive, including La Cala Resort directly adjacent to the eastern edge of town.

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