About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Costa del Sol East, Vélez-Málaga, Costa del Sol. Step directly from the property onto the sand, with uninterrupted sea views from the south-facing aspect that floods the interior with natural light throughout the day.
The 64m² layout accommodates three bedrooms and one bathroom across a practical configuration, with a fully fitted kitchen ready for immediate use. The 15m² terrace extends the living space outdoors, providing an elevated vantage point for watching the Mediterranean stretch to the horizon. White-painted interiors reflect the coastal setting, while the compact footprint keeps maintenance straightforward. The property comes with optional furniture, allowing you to move in without delay or fit it to your own specification.
Almayate beach runs along the eastern stretch of the Costa del Sol, where the coastline remains less developed than areas further west. The townhouse sits within a 2-minute walk of Playa de Almayate, a dark-sand beach popular with kitesurfers when the Levante wind picks up. Vélez-Málaga town centre lies 6km inland, reachable in under 10 minutes by car, where you'll find larger supermarkets, healthcare facilities, and the Thursday street market. The location works for second-home owners seeking direct beach access without the density of the central Costa del Sol resorts.

Buying this townhouse in Costa del Sol East
Can foreigners buy property in Vélez-Málaga?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Vélez-Málaga. 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 Vélez-Málaga?
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.
