About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Guadalmina Baja, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence offers dual-aspect living across 159 square metres of built space, with separate east and west-facing zones that capture morning light in the kitchen and afternoon sun across the main living areas and terrace.
The 50-square-metre west-facing terrace connects directly to the 40-square-metre living and dining room, where a working fireplace anchors the space. Two of the three bedrooms open onto this terrace and share the western orientation. The third bedroom, positioned alongside the fully equipped kitchen and dedicated laundry area, faces east. Each of the three bathrooms serves its corresponding bedroom. Climate control operates through an independent Airzone system in every room, supplemented by individual radiators. A basement garage space and storage room are accessible directly from the apartment.
Alhambra del Golf phase 3 provides gated security, mature gardens, and a communal swimming pool shared among residents. The complex sits adjacent to the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, whose two 18-hole courses lie within a three-minute walk. San Pedro de Alcántara town centre is 2.5 kilometres east, while the beachfront at Guadalmina Playa can be reached in under five minutes by car.

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