About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. The property spans two independent floors, each with its own bedroom and bathroom accessed separately from the outside, creating the potential to operate the ground floor as a self-contained studio. The private terrace delivers unobstructed views across the Mediterranean and Nerja's whitewashed roofscape.
The 70sqm interior is fully furnished and arranged across the two levels with no internal staircase between them. Each floor contains a complete bedroom and bathroom suite. The private 49sqm plot includes a garden with lawn and established lemon tree, plus dedicated seating areas. The terrace extends the living space outward and captures both sea and town views from its elevated position. The property has documented rental history and presents in good condition throughout its rooms and outdoor spaces.
Capistrano Village sits on the hillside above Nerja's eastern edge, 2.5 kilometres from Burriana Beach. The complex provides a communal pool alongside the private pool at this property. Nerja town centre lies 10 minutes downhill by car, placing the Balcón de Europa viewpoint and the old quarter's tapas bars within easy reach. The property was built in 1981 and maintains its original structure with practical updates to fittings and finishes. Both levels open directly onto the garden and terrace areas, with the lemon tree providing seasonal fruit beside the lawn.

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