About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom villa in Costa del Sol East, Torrox Costa, Costa del Sol. This single-level semi-detached home sits just 50 metres from the seafront promenade, placing the Mediterranean shoreline within a one-minute walk. The 53-square-metre interior spreads across a practical layout that includes a fully fitted kitchen, a living-dining area with natural light throughout the day, and a glazed terrace that extends the living space during cooler months.
The two bedrooms share a bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower. The kitchen opens directly onto the 180-square-metre private plot, which divides into a sunny terrace for morning coffee and a larger garden area with space for outdoor dining or lounging. The property includes parking for two vehicles on the plot itself, eliminating the need for street parking or communal bays. Built in 1980 and maintained in excellent condition, the villa operates as a lock-up-and-leave coastal base or a permanent residence with minimal upkeep demands.
The Centro Internacional Urbanization sits in a residential pocket of Torrox Costa, with the main shopping street located a five-minute walk away. Bars, restaurants, and a supermarket cluster along this pedestrianised strip, which runs parallel to the beach. The property's position places it equidistant between the promenade and the commercial centre, offering immediate access to both without sitting directly on either. Málaga Airport lies 55 kilometres west along the A-7 coastal motorway, a journey that typically takes 45 minutes by car.

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