About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Costa del Sol East, Torre del Mar, Costa del Sol. Occupying the entire fifth floor of a 2018-built block, this 146sqm residence delivers uninterrupted Mediterranean panoramas from a wrap-around main terrace that spans two sides of the property. The terrace divides into covered and open sections, giving you 180-degree sightlines across the coastline while maintaining privacy from neighbouring units.
Inside, an open-plan kitchen flows directly into the living area, with floor-to-ceiling southwest-facing windows pulling natural light through both zones. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, while the two additional bedrooms share a second bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower. Above the main living level, a private solarium adds further outdoor space with elevated sea views. The property is sold fully furnished and comes with one underground parking space and a separate storage room. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and a padel court within the building's grounds.
Torre del Mar's beachfront promenade lies 200 metres from the entrance, placing you within a three-minute walk of the sand. The building sits on a quiet residential street one block back from the seafront, insulating you from coastal traffic while keeping beach access immediate. Supermarkets, cafés and the town's central market square are all within 400 metres on foot. Málaga Airport is a 35-minute drive west along the A-7, with Nerja's caves and coves 15 minutes east along the same coastal route.

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