About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Bahía de Marbella, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence has been fully renovated to create an open-plan layout where the kitchen, living, and dining areas flow into a single bright space spanning 114 square metres. The refurbishment brings contemporary finishes throughout, with clean lines and modern fittings that maximise natural light from the east-facing orientation.
The apartment offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with 35 square metres of private terrace space split across two separate outdoor areas. The open-plan kitchen integrates directly with the living zone, eliminating walls to create uninterrupted sightlines and a sense of generous proportion. Each bedroom benefits from the recent renovation, with updated flooring and built-in storage. One allocated parking space is included, and the property comes unfurnished, allowing you to configure the interiors to your own specification.
The apartment sits within a secure urbanisation in Bahía de Marbella, positioned on the second line from the beach. Playa de Alicate lies approximately 200 metres away, reachable on foot in under three minutes. The location places you midway between Marbella's Golden Mile to the west and Elviria to the east, with both commercial centres accessible within a ten-minute drive. The ground-floor position provides direct access to the garden areas and communal pool from the rear terrace.

Buying this apartment in Bahía de Marbella
Can foreigners buy property in Bahia De Marbella?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Bahia De Marbella. 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 Bahia De Marbella?
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.
