About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with full renovation in Málaga Centro, Costa del Sol. This 126-square-metre residence on the first floor delivers contemporary interiors throughout, from the updated kitchen with modern finishes to the two bathrooms fitted with current fixtures. The 24-square-metre terrace extends the living space outdoors.
Inside, the layout separates three bedrooms from a bright living-dining room that connects to the independent kitchen. Both bathrooms feature complete installations, and the apartment comes fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation. One parking space is included in the building, solving the challenge of city-centre vehicle storage. Built in 2002 and recently renovated, the property combines the structure of an established building with fresh interiors across all 126 square metres of living area.
The building stands on Calle Salitre in central Málaga, placing Calle Larios shopping street within a five-minute walk. El Corte Inglés department store, the Soho arts district, and the historic quarter all sit within easy walking distance from the front door. The location delivers immediate access to the cultural and commercial core of Málaga without requiring a car for daily errands, though the included parking space remains available when needed.

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