About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in La Mairena, Costa del Sol. The top-floor position delivers sweeping Mediterranean and mountain views across 42 square metres of private terrace, where the pool sits under open sky and the coastline stretches east towards Marbella.
Inside, 106 square metres of living space includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, all fully furnished and ready to occupy. The kitchen connects to the main living area, which opens directly onto the terrace through full-width glass doors. Both bedrooms access the outdoor space, and the master suite includes an en-suite bathroom. A dedicated parking space comes with the property, and the 1992 construction remains in good condition throughout. The communal pool offers an alternative to the private terrace pool during summer months.
La Mairena sits in forested hillside above the coastal strip, eight minutes by car from Elviria's commercial centre with its supermarkets, restaurants and beach clubs. A small grocery shop and two restaurants operate within walking distance of the development. The gated community maintains landscaped grounds and the shared swimming pool, with mountain trails beginning just beyond the perimeter for hiking and cycling into the Sierra Blanca foothills.

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