About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property spans 139 square metres and includes access to a communal swimming pool set within landscaped gardens. Built in 2016, the apartment maintains excellent condition throughout, with a southwest and west orientation that fills the interior with natural light from midday onwards.
The living-dining area extends onto a 9-square-metre terrace where you can sit outside in the afternoon sun. The independent kitchen connects to a separate laundry area, whilst the three double bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, and a second full bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. One underground parking space and a storage room come with the property, and furniture is available by negotiation.
El Chaparral sits between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas, with both town centres accessible within a 10-minute drive. The nearest beaches lie 2 kilometres south, where you'll find a mix of quiet coves and Blue Flag stretches with chiringuitos. Fuengirola's marina, shops and train station connect you to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes, whilst La Cala offers a more village-focused atmosphere with three golf courses within 5 kilometres. The apartment's ground-floor position means level access from the parking area, with the terrace opening directly onto the communal gardens.

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