About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in La Cala, Costa del Sol. The south-facing orientation floods both levels with natural light throughout the day, whilst the elevated position delivers uninterrupted panoramas across the Mediterranean. Fully refurbished in 2023, the 73sqm interior combines modern finishes with a practical layout that maximises the coastal aspect from almost every room.
The accommodation comprises two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-plan living area that extends directly onto a 55sqm wrap-around terrace. Above, a private 30sqm solarium provides additional outdoor space with 360-degree views taking in the sea, mountains, and town. The total built area reaches 158sqm when all terraces are included. The kitchen has been fitted with contemporary units and appliances, whilst the bathroom features updated fixtures and tiling. Both bedrooms benefit from the southern exposure, and the top-floor position eliminates any noise from neighbours above.
La Cala town centre sits 250 metres away, placing restaurants, supermarkets, and cafés within a two-minute walk. The beach lies at the same distance, accessible on foot without needing a car for daily essentials. The property occupies the top floor of a low-rise building constructed in 2000, with no lift access. Furniture can be included by negotiation, and the apartment is ready for immediate occupation following the 2023 renovation. The solarium remains private to this penthouse and includes space for sun loungers, dining furniture, or planters.

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.
