About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. Mediterranean glimpses from both the bedroom terrace and the 68-square-metre rooftop terrace make this a renovation project with a built-in reward. The property spreads across three levels and 169 square metres of built space, offering a vertical layout that separates living zones naturally and creates privacy between the social areas and sleeping quarters.
The ground level holds a living room with a working fireplace that opens onto a private patio, whilst the two bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the middle floor. Each bedroom accesses a terrace where you can see the sea. The top floor is entirely given over to a rooftop terrace large enough to accommodate an outdoor kitchen, dining area and lounge setup once restored. The property requires complete renovation throughout but comes fully furnished, and includes one parking space within the complex. Built in 1989, the structure provides a solid shell for a comprehensive modernisation that could reconfigure layouts, upgrade systems and install contemporary finishes.
La Cornisa sits in Calahonda with access to a communal pool, positioned 2 kilometres inland from Calahonda beach. The complex occupies a hillside plot that explains the sea views from upper levels, and the townhouse sits within a 5-minute drive of the commercial centre at Calahonda where you'll find supermarkets, restaurants and services. Marbella lies 15 kilometres west along the A-7 coastal road, whilst Fuengirola is 12 kilometres east.

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