About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence delivers 101 square metres of living space and an 83-square-metre terrace that opens directly onto sea views across the shoreline. The south-east and south orientation brings morning light into the main rooms and holds afternoon sun on the terrace through the evening.
Inside, the layout provides three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, two bathrooms including an ensuite, and a fully fitted kitchen with a separate utility room. The covered terrace extends the living area outdoors, while a private solarium on the upper level adds a second outdoor zone with panoramic sightlines over the beach and pool. Air conditioning runs throughout, with hot and cold settings controlled independently. A storage room, WiFi connectivity, and fibre optic cabling are built into the specification. The apartment includes one underground parking space and access designed for reduced mobility. Electric blinds, an entry phone system, and an alarm provide layered security.
Los Álamos sits on the beachfront in Torremolinos with direct access to the sand and a communal pool that includes an indoor heated section. The complex offers landscaped gardens and an on-site restaurant within the grounds. Torremolinos town centre lies 1.5 kilometres along the coast, reachable on foot or by the frequent local bus service that stops outside the development. The property was completed in 2025 and remains unfurnished.

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