About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in El Paraíso, Costa del Sol. This 2024-built residence within the gated Paraíso Pueblo community delivers 112 square metres of contemporary living space designed around an open-plan layout that extends onto a 40-square-metre south-facing terrace. The private terrace functions as an outdoor extension of the interior, sized for dining furniture and sun loungers, with uninterrupted afternoon light that holds through to evening.
Inside, the three bedrooms are configured with two full bathrooms across a single level. The kitchen integrates into the main living area without visual barriers, and the south orientation pulls natural light through the principal rooms from mid-morning onwards. One allocated parking space and a dedicated storage unit come with the property. The apartment is finished to move-in standard, with optional furniture available depending on buyer preference. At 112 square metres built, the layout prioritises usable floor area over corridors, with the master bedroom opening directly onto the terrace.
Paraíso Pueblo operates as a secure, gated community with 24-hour access control and seven outdoor swimming pools distributed across the grounds, plus an indoor heated pool and a private residents' gym. The complex sits 1.8 kilometres from El Paraíso Golf Club and five minutes by car from the beach at Cancelada. Atalaya Golf & Country Club lies within a ten-minute walk, and the commercial centre of San Pedro de Alcántara is a six-minute drive east along the A-7. The community maintains landscaped gardens and dedicated pathways connecting the pool areas to individual apartment blocks.

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