About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Torrequebrada, Costa del Sol. The west-facing terrace stretches across 20 square metres with Lumon glazing, framing uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean towards Fuengirola and capturing the full sweep of the sunset each evening.
Inside, 103 square metres of living space divides into three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite finished in travertine marble. The independent kitchen comes fully equipped, and the living room opens directly onto the terrace. Part-furnished and built in 2001, the apartment sits in good condition with no recent renovation. The property includes one parking space and benefits from a communal swimming pool within the private development.
Torrequebrada Golf sits immediately adjacent to the building, whilst Yucas beach club lies one minute's walk from the front entrance. Benalmádena town centre is a five-minute drive inland, and the coastal road connects eastward to Fuengirola in under ten minutes by car. A bus stop, supermarket and regular beach access all fall within 200 metres of the apartment entrance. The parking space measures large enough to accommodate most vehicles, and the development enforces a restriction on tourist rental use.

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