About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Puerto de Cabopino, Costa del Sol. The property's southern orientation floods all 126 square metres of living space with natural light from sunrise to sunset, whilst the 50-square-metre terrace frames uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean.
Inside, three double bedrooms each come with an en-suite bathroom, and the open-plan layout connects the living area directly to the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The kitchen features integrated appliances and granite worktops, and there's a separate utility room for laundry. Built in 1978 and maintained to an excellent standard, the apartment includes air conditioning throughout, fitted wardrobes in all bedrooms, and marble flooring in the main living areas.

Puerto de Cabopino sits between Marbella and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, with the golden sands of Cabopino Beach less than 400 metres from the property. The port and marina lie within a five-minute walk, lined with seafood restaurants and tapas bars that open directly onto the waterfront.

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