About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with private pool in Mijas, Costa del Sol. The corner position delivers what most terrace properties cannot: natural light from two sides, cross-ventilation through opposing windows, and just one shared wall instead of two.
Inside, 150 square metres spread across three floors include an independent kitchen fitted with ceramic hob and extractor, two double bedrooms each with fitted wardrobes, and two bathrooms (one recently refurbished). The top-floor master suite opens onto a 69-square-metre terrace running the length of the property, with north and south orientation ensuring usable outdoor space throughout the day. A private garage connects directly into the entrance hall. The travertine stone façade distinguishes this home from the rendered elevations elsewhere in the development.
Residencial El Hipódromo operates 24-hour manned security and maintains communal facilities including a swimming pool, paddle tennis courts, and landscaped gardens with mature planting. The development sits 4 kilometres north of Fuengirola's seafront, accessible via the A-387 in under ten minutes by car. Mijas Pueblo, the whitewashed hillside village, lies 6 kilometres west along the same road.

9 questions answered
Buying this townhouse in Residencial El Hipódromo
Can foreigners buy property in Residencial El Hipódromo?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Residencial El Hipódromo. 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 Residencial El Hipódromo?
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.
