About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with private pool in Alhaurín de la Torre, Costa del Sol. This 237sqm home spreads across three floors and centres on a 40sqm rear patio where the pool catches morning sun in the east-facing orientation. The ground level opens to a separate kitchen fitted with appliances, a guest toilet, and a living-dining room that connects directly to the outdoor space, while a 20sqm front porch adds a second terrace option.
The first floor holds all three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one en suite to the principal room. Three fitted wardrobes distribute storage across the sleeping quarters, and air conditioning runs through the property to counter the inland summer heat. The 2006 construction maintains good condition throughout, with no recent renovation but solid bones and practical layouts that work for family living.
The townhouse sits within a private residential complex that includes communal padel courts for residents. Alhaurín de la Torre town centre lies 3km away with supermarkets, schools, and the weekly market, while Málaga airport is a 15-minute drive east along the A-7053. The setting offers quiet residential streets without the density of coastal developments, and the complex design prioritises low-rise buildings with green space between blocks.

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