About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Elviria, Costa del Sol. This first-floor residence in Hacienda Playa has been reconfigured from its original two-bedroom layout to deliver three bedrooms without sacrificing living space, making it work equally well as a permanent home or rental investment. The south-facing orientation ensures the 40sqm terrace receives sunlight from morning through to late afternoon.
Inside the 105sqm interior, the open-plan kitchen integrates fully with the living and dining area, fitted with contemporary units and appliances that maintain clean sightlines across the social space. Both bathrooms have been updated with modern fixtures, and the three bedrooms are positioned to separate the master suite from the two guest rooms. The living area opens directly onto the terrace through full-width glass doors, extending the usable space outdoors. One allocated parking space is included, and the apartment comes with the option to purchase fully furnished if preferred.
Hacienda Playa sits just 400 metres from Elviria's beaches, with the Nikki Beach club and several chiringuitos within a five-minute walk. The complex maintains landscaped communal gardens and a shared pool, and the development's position in lower Elviria places it 10 minutes by car from Marbella's centre and 15 minutes from Puerto Banús. Local amenities including the Elviria Commercial Centre are 600 metres away on foot.

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.
