About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse in Alhaurín el Grande, Costa del Sol. This fully furnished property occupies a central position within the town and features a rooftop terrace with open valley views. The ground floor presents an open-plan living area with integrated kitchen and dining space, flowing directly to a ground-floor bedroom that offers flexible accommodation options.
The first floor contains two double bedrooms and a shower room across 86 square metres of built space. A spiral staircase ascends from one bedroom to the private roof terrace, which provides panoramic views across the surrounding valley. The property arrives in excellent condition and is currently being repainted throughout, with viewing available from October 2026. The open-plan configuration on the ground floor creates a sociable living environment, whilst the upstairs layout separates the sleeping quarters from the main living zone.
The townhouse sits within walking distance of Alhaurín el Grande's town centre, where local bars, restaurants, schools and shops cluster around the main plaza.

The town itself sits 30 minutes inland from the coastal resorts of the Costa del Sol, offering cooler summer temperatures and a traditional Andalusian atmosphere. From the rooftop terrace, the views extend across agricultural land and whitewashed houses towards the valley below, with the spiral staircase providing direct access from the first-floor bedroom.

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