About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Elviria, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence at Elviria del Sol spans 116sqm of interior space plus a substantial 58sqm of terrace, created by combining two apartments into a single home with dual-aspect living areas and wraparound outdoor space. The southwest and southeast orientations deliver natural light from morning through evening across both living zones.
The layout centres around two distinct reception rooms, each with its own fireplace and terrace access. The kitchen opens onto a dining area with seating for eight and a southeast-facing terrace that catches morning sun, whilst the second living room connects to a larger, partially covered southwest terrace equipped with an awning and outdoor tap. Three bedrooms share two bathrooms across the 116sqm floor plan, and the 58sqm of terrace wraps around the property to create separate outdoor zones for different times of day. The apartment retains its 1986 character with dual fireplaces and a functional split-level layout.
Elviria del Sol is a gated complex with communal pool, tennis courts, maintained gardens, and 24-hour security. The development sits in Elviria, 12 minutes' drive east of Marbella's Golden Mile and 800 metres from Playa de las Cañas. Elviria Commercial Centre, with supermarkets and restaurants, lies within 600 metres 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.
