About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This south-east-facing duplex captures morning light across both levels while framing glimpses of the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains. The fireplace in the living room anchors the ground floor, creating a natural gathering point during cooler evenings.
Across 95 square metres of built space, the layout includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom connects to a walk-in wardrobe, while a guest toilet serves the main living area. Below, a basement provides additional storage alongside a dedicated storage room. Outside, an 8-square-metre terrace extends the living space, and the 200-square-metre plot offers room for private use. One parking space comes with the property, and the sale includes all furniture.
Los Altos de Marbella sits in the quieter eastern reaches of the municipality, where the terrain rises gently from the coast. The complex maintains a communal pool and landscaped gardens shared among residents. Marbella's Golden Mile lies 6 kilometres west, reachable in under ten minutes by car, while the beaches of Elviria are 3 kilometres south. The property was built in 2001 and remains in its original configuration.

9 questions answered
Buying this townhouse in Los Altos de Marbella
Can foreigners buy property in Los Altos De Marbella?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Los Altos De Marbella. 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 Los Altos De Marbella?
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.
