About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with beachfront position in El Chaparral, Costa del Sol. The sea sits just 50 metres from the front door, close enough to hear the waves and step onto the sand in under a minute. South and south-west orientation floods the interiors with natural light from morning through late afternoon.
Inside, the recently renovated kitchen opens through large windows that frame the coastal light, fitted with integrated appliances and connecting directly to a spacious living room. Three double bedrooms come with built-in wardrobes, served by three bathrooms, two of which have been renovated. A utility room at the rear entrance houses the washing machine and provides practical storage. The 70-square-metre terrace extends the living space outdoors, while the 350-square-metre plot offers room to arrange multiple seating areas around the property. A private pool occupies the garden, and the plot accommodates parking for two vehicles.
El Chaparral sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, with Carvajal Beach less than 100 metres to the south. The villa stands in a residential pocket where low-rise properties face the Mediterranean without the buffer of a promenade or coastal road. Fuengirola town centre lies 4 kilometres west, reachable in six minutes by car, while Marbella is 20 kilometres in the opposite direction. Local beach bars and the El Chaparral golf course are within a five-minute walk. The A-7 coastal motorway runs 500 metres inland, connecting to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes.

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