About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Riviera del Sol, Costa del Sol. This top-floor property offers 28 square metres of terrace space, split across multiple outdoor areas where you can sit with morning coffee or set up an evening table facing the Mediterranean.
The 72-square-metre interior is arranged as two self-contained apartments, each with one bedroom, one bathroom, and its own entrance. One bedroom features exposed wooden beams beneath a sloping ceiling, adding texture to the space, though the roof can be straightened to match neighbouring units if you prefer conventional height. Both kitchens are fully fitted, and fitted wardrobes line the bedrooms. Hot and cold air conditioning runs throughout, and the property comes fully furnished. The dual-apartment layout means you can host guests or family in a separate unit with complete privacy, or rent one side independently.
Urbanisation Alhamar is a gated community with palm-lined gardens, a shared swimming pool, and 24-hour security. Riviera del Sol Golf Course sits less than 500 metres from the complex entrance, and the beach is a five-minute drive down the hill. Marbella town centre is 15 minutes west along the A-7, while Fuengirola lies 10 minutes east for supermarkets, the train station, and the promenade. The beamed ceiling retains its original honey-toned finish, untreated and unvarnished.

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