About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with golf views in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property overlooks the fairways of Mijas Golf, with 18 square metres of west-facing terrace that catches the afternoon sun. The layout spans 150 square metres across a single level, eliminating stairs and creating effortless flow between rooms.
Inside, three double bedrooms share two and a half bathrooms, with the principal suite opening directly onto the terrace. The kitchen connects to a separate utility area, and the living room extends the full width of the apartment, with sliding glass doors that blur the line between indoor and outdoor space. One allocated parking space sits beneath the building, accessed via the internal lift. The property was completed in 2010 and remains in good condition throughout, though it is sold unfurnished.
Castillo del Cerrado occupies an elevated position above the coast, with the complex pool terrace providing views across the golf course to the Mediterranean beyond. Mijas Golf's twin 18-hole courses sit immediately adjacent to the development, and the beach at La Cala de Mijas lies four kilometres south via the A-7 coastal road. The AP-7 toll motorway connects to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes eastbound, or to Marbella in 15 minutes west. A Mercadona supermarket operates 1.2 kilometres from the complex gates, and the whitewashed village of Mijas Pueblo sits six kilometres inland on the mountain slope above.

9 questions answered
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.
