About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Cancelada, Costa del Sol. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors span the open-plan living space, pulling Mediterranean light across 134 square metres of contemporary interiors and framing views that stretch from the landscaped gardens to the coast beyond.
The ground-floor layout delivers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a covered terrace extending 31 square metres from the main living area. The kitchen integrates into the open-plan zone with modern fitted units, while the primary bedroom suite includes direct terrace access. Built in 2020, the apartment maintains excellent condition throughout, with one allocated parking space included beneath the building. The terrace functions as an outdoor extension of the living room, large enough for dining furniture and loungers, and remains usable year-round under its covered section.
Le Mirage operates as a gated residential community on Estepona's New Golden Mile, with residents accessing a communal pool, gym, spa facilities, landscaped gardens, and 24-hour security. The complex sits 2 kilometres from the beaches at Cancelada, where a selection of beach clubs and chiringuitos line the coast. Villa Padierna Golf Club lies within a five-minute drive, whilst Estepona's marina and old town centre are 10 minutes east along the A-7.

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