About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. This 118sqm residence occupies an upper floor in a gated community built in 1977, where the south-facing orientation delivers direct sunlight across the living spaces and out onto the 17sqm covered terrace that frames views of the Mediterranean.
Inside, the layout separates three bedrooms across the floorplan, supported by two bathrooms and a living-dining room that opens directly onto the terrace through full-width glass doors. The apartment comes fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation or holiday use. The kitchen connects to the main living area, and the principal bedroom benefits from the sea-facing aspect. Residents share access to a communal swimming pool set within maintained gardens, and the building includes a lift for access to the upper floors.
The property sits on Calle Al Andalus, positioning it 600 metres from La Carihuela beach, a stretch of coastline known for its seafood restaurants and promenade that runs parallel to the shore. Torremolinos town centre lies within a 10-minute walk, providing supermarkets, medical services and the commuter train line that connects Málaga Airport to Fuengirola. The terrace catches afternoon sun year-round and provides enough depth for outdoor dining furniture and sun loungers.

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