About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This 130-square-metre duplex has been fully renovated, with freshly smoothed walls throughout and a modern fitted kitchen that includes all appliances. South and south-west orientation fills the living spaces with natural light from morning through late afternoon, while part-furnished interiors allow you to move in and personalise at your own pace.
The ground-floor entrance opens to a bright reception room that connects to the refitted kitchen, where worktop space and integrated storage make daily routines straightforward. Two of the three bedrooms sit on the upper level, both benefiting from the southern aspect, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom. A second full bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and guests. Outside, a 12-square-metre terrace provides space for a small dining table or sun loungers, and the private pool offers a cooling dip without leaving the property. One allocated parking space is included.
Calahonda sits midway along the Costa del Sol, and this apartment occupies a central position on Avenida de España, the main thoroughfare lined with cafés, restaurants, hairdressers and local shops. The beach lies 500 metres away, reachable in 10 to 15 minutes on foot, while El Zoco shopping centre is a 10-minute walk in the opposite direction and houses a supermarket, services and additional retail outlets. Carrefour and Mercadona are both within a five-minute drive for weekly provisions.

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