About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Los Arqueros, Costa del Sol. This corner-position property on the top floor commands 182 square metres of terrace space across two levels, including a private 87-square-metre roof terrace with 360-degree vistas extending from the Mediterranean to La Concha mountain.
The 119-square-metre interior comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an open-plan living room that connects directly to the main 95-square-metre terrace. The corner position ensures multiple aspects, with views shifting from the sea to the golf course, pool, and manicured gardens depending on which terrace you occupy. The roof terrace sits entirely private at the top of the building, accessible only to this apartment. Built in 2002, the property maintains good condition throughout its bright, generously proportioned rooms.
La Finca operates as a gated community with 24-hour security, a communal pool, and landscaped gardens within the Los Arqueros residential area. The complex sits adjacent to Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club, with the championship course designed by Severiano Ballesteros less than a five-minute walk from the property. San Pedro de Alcántara lies 10 minutes by car, whilst Puerto Banús and its marina are 15 minutes away along the A-7 coast road.

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