About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Frigiliana, Costa del Sol. The 90sqm house sits on over 5,000sqm of elevated countryside, delivering uninterrupted views across the valley towards the Mediterranean and the Axarquía mountain range. One of the two bedrooms opens directly onto its own private terrace, creating a self-contained space within the property.
Inside, the living room features a working fireplace and wood-burning stove for year-round comfort, while the kitchen retains original rustic character. The single bathroom serves both bedrooms. Outside, a covered terrace with dining area connects to the 8m x 4m swimming pool, surrounded by natural stone paving and Mediterranean planting. A built-in barbecue area and separate solarium occupy different corners of the plot, each positioned to capture specific views or shade patterns throughout the day. The land itself extends across multiple terraced levels, offering space for vegetable gardens, fruit trees, or simply unstructured hillside.
The villa stands 10 minutes by car north of Frigiliana's whitewashed old quarter, where cobbled streets climb towards the Moorish castle ruins. The property access follows a maintained dirt track for the final 800 metres, passable year-round with standard vehicles. Nerja's beaches lie 20 minutes downhill, while the sierra hiking trails begin within walking distance of the plot boundary. One parking space sits adjacent to the house entrance.

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