About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Altos de los Monteros, Costa del Sol. This 395-square-metre residence was created by combining two side-by-side duplex apartments into a single expansive home across two levels, retaining both original kitchens for flexibility in entertaining or multi-generational living.
The split-level layout includes a master bedroom formed by merging two original bedrooms, creating an unusually large principal suite with an expanded en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms each have their own bathroom, and the dual-kitchen configuration means one can serve as a prep area whilst the other handles main cooking duties. The property comes fully furnished and benefits from east, south-east and south-facing orientations that bring morning light through to afternoon sun. Views stretch across the Mediterranean, with mountain backdrops visible from multiple rooms. One parking space is included.
Set within the gated Pueblo Los Monteros complex, the apartment has access to a communal pool and 24-hour security. The urbanisation sits in the Altos de los Monteros hills, approximately 10 minutes' drive from Marbella's Golden Mile and the beach clubs that line the coast below. The complex's Andalusian architecture features white-painted facades and terracotta roof tiles typical of the region's traditional style, built in 2009 and maintained in excellent condition throughout.

9 questions answered
Buying this penthouse in Altos de los Monteros
Can foreigners buy property in Altos De Los Monteros?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Altos De Los Monteros. 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 Altos De Los Monteros?
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.
