About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Costabella, Costa del Sol. This top-floor property spreads across 95 square metres of built space on a 115-square-metre plot, with both bedrooms positioned on the first floor to capture uninterrupted Mediterranean views. The south-facing orientation ensures natural light throughout the day, while the mountain backdrop adds depth to the coastal panorama.
The layout includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms across two levels, with the living spaces opening onto a series of four terraces that extend the usable area considerably. The rooftop terrace delivers 360-degree views that take in both the sea and the surrounding mountains, creating an elevated outdoor room that functions year-round in this climate. Inside, the property comes fully furnished and presents in good condition, with one allocated parking space included. The plot provides enough ground-level outdoor space for private use without the maintenance demands of a typical garden.
Costabella sits on a quiet residential street approximately 400 metres from Costabella Beach, a Blue Flag stretch of coastline known for its chiringuitos and calm swimming conditions. The townhouse occupies one of the more established roads in this eastern Marbella enclave, where low-density development has preserved a residential character. Marbella's Golden Mile lies 10 minutes west by car, while the location keeps you within walking distance of both the shore and the coastal path that runs unbroken towards Elviria.

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