About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Monte Halcones, Costa del Sol. This duplex spans the top floor of its building, capturing uninterrupted Mediterranean panoramas from a southeast-facing position that floods the interior with morning and midday light.
Inside, 185 square metres of living space centres on an open-plan reception room where floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect directly to the principal terrace. The layout places all three bedrooms across the upper level, each with its own en-suite bathroom and private access to the 54 square metres of outdoor terrace space. The kitchen sits adjacent to the dining area, and one underground parking space is included. The property was completed in 2005 and remains in excellent condition, with the option to purchase fully furnished.
Monte Halcones occupies an elevated hillside position above the coastal road, placing this penthouse approximately 4 kilometres from Puerto Banús marina. The communal facilities include a swimming pool shared among residents in the development. The southeast orientation ensures the main terrace receives direct sunlight from sunrise through early afternoon, while the elevated plot height means the sea view remains unobstructed by neighbouring buildings.

Buying this penthouse in Monte Halcones
Can foreigners buy property in Monte Halcones?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Monte Halcones. 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 Monte Halcones?
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.
