About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Vélez-Málaga, Costa del Sol. This property offers a rare combination: your own private pool paired with access to the communal gardens and pool facilities at Alexia. The 125-square-metre layout includes 2.5 bathrooms and an open-plan living and dining area that connects directly to a north-facing terrace, keeping the space cool during the warmer months while maintaining natural light throughout the day.
The interior follows a modern, practical layout. The main living area flows into the kitchen without partition walls, creating a single entertaining space that extends to the outdoor terrace. Three bedrooms provide separation between the primary suite and the two additional rooms, with the half-bathroom positioned near the communal areas for guest convenience. The terrace runs the width of the apartment, offering enough space for outdoor dining furniture and loungers beside the private pool.
Alexia sits in a residential area of Vélez-Málaga where the coastline meets the eastern edge of the Costa del Sol. The development provides maintained gardens and a shared pool alongside individual property pools. Caleta de Vélez marina lies 2 kilometres south, with its selection of waterfront restaurants and the fishing harbour that supplies much of the area's seafood. The north orientation means the terrace remains shaded during peak afternoon heat, while the private pool catches morning sun from the eastern exposure.

Buying this apartment in Costa del Sol East
Can foreigners buy property in Vélez-Málaga?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Vélez-Málaga. 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 Vélez-Málaga?
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.
