About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This brand-new, never-occupied residence captures uninterrupted panoramas of the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains from two expansive terraces totalling 90 square metres. The south-facing orientation floods the 96-square-metre interior with natural light throughout the day, whilst the master bedroom opens directly onto the main terrace for immediate access to those coastal vistas.
The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area spans 34 square metres and connects to the front terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Two additional double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family or guests, serviced by two contemporary bathrooms finished to 2026 build standards. The property includes one designated parking space and access to a communal swimming pool. The unfurnished specification allows incoming owners to personalise the interiors to their own requirements, with modern fixtures and fittings already installed throughout.
The penthouse occupies the top floor of a low-rise building positioned directly above Mijas Costa's coastal amenities. La Cala de Mijas beach lies approximately 400 metres downhill, reachable on foot in under five minutes. Shops, supermarkets and year-round restaurants line the streets immediately surrounding the building, placing daily conveniences within walking distance. The terrace configuration divides between the main south-facing deck accessed from the living area and master suite, and a secondary outdoor space that extends the usable living area across different times of day.

Buying this penthouse 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.
