About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Elviria, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence opens onto a 65-square-metre terrace that extends the full width of the living space, creating an outdoor room where the morning sun arrives from the east and stays through the southern arc into late afternoon. The apartment includes its own private pool, a rare feature in a complex of this kind, giving you direct water access without sharing.
Inside, 105 square metres of built space divides into a full-width living-dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows, a separate elongated kitchen with utility room, and three bedrooms serviced by two bathrooms. The living room centres on a working fireplace. The kitchen comes fully fitted with integrated appliances and counter space that runs the length of the room. One parking space is included in the sale, and the apartment comes part-furnished, meaning key pieces remain while you bring your own style to the bedrooms and living areas.
El Manantial is a gated complex in Elviria with 24-hour security, subtropical gardens, and a residents' pool separate from your private terrace pool. The development sits 800 metres from Santa María Golf Club, a quick walk for early tee times or evening practice on the driving range. Elviria's commercial centre, with its supermarkets, restaurants, and pharmacy, is a five-minute drive, and the beaches of Nikki Beach and Elviria Playa are 2.5 kilometres south. The complex was built in 2000 and maintains its original architecture and communal spaces without recent renovation.

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