About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. The private pool sits within a 100-square-metre garden space that wraps around the ground-floor terrace, creating an outdoor zone that rivals the 89-square-metre interior in scale and usability.
Inside, the 2021-built layout delivers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across a single level, with 65 square metres of covered terrace extending the living area outward. The apartment comes fully furnished to a specification that matches its excellent condition. A 29.65-square-metre English patio brings additional natural light into the lower-floor rooms, while a dedicated storage room and one parking space handle the practical requirements. The terrace alone measures larger than many coastal apartments' entire footprints, offering multiple zones for dining, lounging and poolside furniture.
Fairways La Cala Golf provides the setting, placing the apartment within a resort built around three championship golf courses that sit 2 kilometres inland from La Cala beach. The complex caters specifically to golf-focused buyers, with direct access to the fairways and clubhouse facilities. La Cala de Mijas town centre lies 10 minutes' drive away, while Málaga airport sits 30 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway. The garden includes mature planting that screens the pool area from neighbouring properties.

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