About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor duplex stretches across 243 square metres of living space, with south-facing orientation that channels sunlight through both levels and frames distant glimpses of the Mediterranean alongside mountain panoramas from two private terraces.
The interior spans two floors connected by an internal staircase, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms distributed across the duplex layout. The main terrace measures 20 square metres and opens directly from the principal living area, whilst a second terrace on the upper level extends the outdoor space. The property comes fully furnished and includes two underground parking spaces plus a storage room. Air conditioning regulates the climate throughout, and the apartment's position on the top floor ensures no neighbours overhead.
Vitania Resort is a gated community with landscaped gardens, a communal swimming pool, and 24-hour security. The complex sits in Mijas Costa, 3 kilometres inland from La Cala de Mijas beach and its cluster of seafront restaurants. Málaga Airport lies 30 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway, whilst Fuengirola's town centre is a 10-minute drive west. The apartment was built in 2008 and remains in excellent condition, with marble flooring throughout the ground-floor living areas and fitted wardrobes in all three bedrooms.

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