About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Los Arqueros, Costa del Sol. The south-facing orientation floods the 120-square-metre interior with natural light throughout the day, while the private 30-square-metre terrace offers uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean. All three double bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, and the master suite opens directly onto the main terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
Inside, the two bathrooms are finished with cream marble tiling from floor to ceiling, fitted with contemporary walk-in glass showers and modern louvered vanity units. The terrace includes a covered dining area with retractable awnings for year-round use, and direct access from the terrace leads onto manicured communal lawns. The apartment includes one allocated parking space and comes with optional furniture. The 40-square-metre plot provides additional outdoor space beyond the main terrace.
Set within the gated Los Pinos complex, the property benefits from 24-hour security, communal swimming pools, and landscaped gardens maintained by the community. Los Arqueros Golf Course sits adjacent to the development, with the clubhouse located a three-minute walk from the complex entrance. The coastal town of San Pedro de Alcántara lies 10 minutes away by car, providing access to beaches, restaurants, and the A7 coastal motorway connecting Marbella and Estepona.

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