About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. This south-facing detached property sits on a 515sqm plot accessed through a private gated entrance at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, delivering complete privacy without community fees. The 122sqm interior features a lounge with working fireplace and air conditioning, while 393sqm of outdoor terrace space wraps around the villa.
Inside, the traditional Spanish layout provides two double bedrooms and two bathrooms across a single level. The kitchen comes fully fitted and equipped, opening onto one of several terrace areas that capture different angles of the surrounding countryside. A separate lounge connects to the main outdoor space, where the private swimming pool occupies a sun-trap position facing south.

The villa stands between Capistrano Pueblo and San Juan de Capistrano, two residential pockets on Nerja's western edge. Burriana Beach lies 3.5 kilometres east, reachable in under ten minutes by car. The plot's elevated position provides uninterrupted views across Nerja's rooftops towards the inland hills, with the town centre and its restaurants a five-minute drive down the hillside.

Buying this villa 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.
