About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Torrequebrada, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence sits just 400 metres from the shore, combining a 100-square-metre interior with an equally sized terrace across two levels. The private rooftop terrace captures sun throughout the day, accessed by stairs from the main west-facing terrace where afternoon light stretches across the space until evening.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen connects directly to the living room, which opens onto the principal terrace alongside two of the bedrooms. All three bathrooms serve the sleeping quarters across the 100-square-metre layout. The property comes fully furnished and was completed in 2021, maintaining good condition throughout. South, southwest and west orientations deliver natural light from multiple angles, whilst views extend across the sea and surrounding mountains. A storage room provides additional space, and a designated parking space in the underground garage includes lift access directly to the apartment's floor. The communal pool area serves residents across the development.
Torrequebrada beach lies 400 metres from the building, placing Yucas café-restaurant and the casino within the same walking distance. Lidl and several dining options sit 500 metres away, whilst Torremuelle train station connects to the wider Costa del Sol network. The property holds a valid tourist rental licence, making it suitable for both residential use and investment purposes. The rooftop terrace remains entirely private to this penthouse, with stairs ascending from the main outdoor space where two bedrooms and the living area all gain direct access.

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