About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment in Costa del Sol East, Torre del Mar, Costa del Sol, positioned on the ground floor just minutes from the Mediterranean shoreline. The open-plan living and dining area connects to an American-style kitchen, creating a 63-square-metre space where natural light reaches every corner throughout the day. This layout works equally well for permanent living or as a coastal retreat with rental potential.
The three bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family, guests, or home office use, while the full bathroom serves the entire property. The American kitchen integrates cooking and social areas without walls, maximising the sense of space within the compact footprint. Ground-floor access eliminates stairs entirely, making daily life simpler whether carrying shopping or beach equipment. All essential services sit within walking distance of the front door.
Torre del Mar's beachfront promenade lies approximately 400 metres away, reachable in under five minutes on foot. Shops, restaurants and leisure facilities cluster around the property, forming the practical infrastructure of this working coastal town. The location balances seaside access with year-round amenities that remain open beyond the summer season, unlike some resort-focused developments along this stretch of coast.

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