About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom finca with private pool in Alhaurín de la Torre, Costa del Sol. This single-storey layout is unusual for rural properties in the area and eliminates the need for stairs entirely. The 5,262sqm plot provides absolute privacy, with mature planting screening the perimeter and creating natural separation from neighbouring land.
Inside, the 200sqm footprint includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate living room and dining room, and an independent kitchen. The entrance hall opens directly into the main living areas, which benefit from floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light throughout the day. A 17sqm covered terrace extends from the living room and overlooks the pool. The property includes one allocated parking space. All rooms sit on the ground floor, making the layout accessible and practical for daily use.
The finca sits in the La Alquería district of Alhaurín de la Torre, a rural zone known for working farms and low-density residential plots. The terrain here is gently sloping with views across open countryside rather than the coast. Alhaurín town centre is 4km to the north, where you'll find supermarkets, banks, and municipal services. Málaga Airport lies 16km to the southeast, reachable in approximately 18 minutes by car via the A-404 and A-7. The property was built in 2002 and remains in excellent condition, with no recent renovation work required.

Buying this finca in Alhaurín de la Torre
Can foreigners buy property in Alhaurín de la Torre?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Alhaurín de la Torre. 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 Alhaurín de la Torre?
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.
