About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Frigiliana, Costa del Sol. This 92sqm country property sits on a generous 1,286sqm plot planted with mature fruit trees including citrus, fig and almond varieties. The covered terrace extends the living space outdoors, creating a sheltered spot that overlooks the pool and the surrounding orchard.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining area connects to a compact kitchenette, while two bedrooms and one bathroom complete the accommodation. The layout maximises the 92sqm footprint without wasted circulation space. Outside, the pool measures approximately 8m by 4m and sits within a paved sun terrace, with the remainder of the plot given over to fruit cultivation and natural Mediterranean planting. A separate storage outbuilding provides space for garden equipment and tools.
Frigiliana sits 6km inland from the coastal town of Nerja, where the Balcón de Europa promenade and several beaches are within a 12-minute drive. The property lies on the quieter eastern edge of the village, away from the tourist routes but still connected to local services. The terrain here rises gently towards the Almijara mountains, and the plot benefits from this elevated position with cooling breezes during summer months. The orchard includes established lemon, orange and pomegranate trees that fruit seasonally.

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.
