About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in New Golden Mile, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence in Alhambra del Golf offers direct access to communal gardens from your 30-square-metre south-facing terrace, where the private pool provides a secluded outdoor space shielded from the main road yet positioned on the desirable beach side of the coastal highway.
Inside, 159 square metres of built space accommodates three bedrooms and three bathrooms across a single level. The south orientation brings natural light through the principal rooms throughout the day. A dedicated parking space and storage room come with the apartment, both secured within the gated perimeter. The property was built in 1989 and remains in excellent condition, with furniture available by separate negotiation. High-standard finishes throughout reflect the original construction quality, whilst the ground-floor position eliminates the need for lifts or stairs when carrying shopping or beach equipment.
Alhambra del Golf sits within a secure, gated complex featuring communal swimming pools and mature gardens that buffer residents from through traffic. The development takes its name from the adjacent Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club, whose 18-hole course lies 1.2 kilometres inland. The beachfront at Guadalmina runs 800 metres west, accessible via the underpass that connects both sides of the A-7 coastal road. Puerto Banús marina sits 6 kilometres east, a ten-minute drive along the New Golden Mile's restaurant-lined stretch. The complex entrance opens directly onto the service road parallel to the main highway, with a Mercadona supermarket 1.4 kilometres towards Estepona.

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