About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse in Atalaya, Costa del Sol.

The layout provides three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a guest toilet distributed vertically through the home. Each level connects to outdoor space, creating multiple zones for different times of day. The rooms are bright and well-proportioned, with the fully furnished interiors ready for immediate occupation. One parking space is included. The property dates from 1997 and remains in good condition throughout, maintaining the quality of its original construction without requiring immediate work.
Atalaya sits between the coastal highway and the golf valley, placing this townhouse within a residential community that offers two communal swimming pools and maintained gardens. Guadalmina Golf Club lies less than two kilometres north, while the beaches at San Pedro de Alcántara are a five-minute drive south. The town centre of San Pedro provides supermarkets, restaurants, and services within easy reach, and Marbella's Golden Mile is fifteen minutes along the coast.

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