About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Torrequebrada, Costa del Sol. The 84sqm south-facing terrace wraps around the living space, delivering uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean and inland towards the mountain ranges that frame the coastline.
Inside, 75sqm of built space divides into two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the open-plan living and dining area opening directly onto the terrace through full-width glass doors. The property is sold unfurnished, allowing complete freedom to configure the interiors. One allocated parking space is included, and residents share access to a communal pool. The penthouse occupies the ground floor of a low-rise building completed in 2004, maintained in excellent condition throughout.
Torrequebrada sits between the marina and the golf club of the same name, both within 10 minutes on foot. The beach lies 800 metres from the entrance, accessible via a gentle downhill walk through residential streets. Trocadero Arena and the coastal promenade restaurants are a similar distance in the opposite direction, with supermarkets and international schools clustered along the main avenue that runs parallel to the shore.

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