About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This property sits just 300 metres from the shore, placing the Mediterranean within a five-minute walk. The dual east-west orientation captures morning light in the bedrooms and afternoon sun on the west-facing terrace, extending the outdoor season well into autumn.
The 150-square-metre interior unfolds across two floors. The ground level opens with a wide entrance hall leading to a guest toilet, then into a connected kitchen and living area that spans the width of the property. The kitchen includes a separate pantry for storage. A 30-square-metre terrace runs along the rear, accessed directly from the salon. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two bathrooms, with fitted wardrobes in each sleeping space. The property includes one enclosed parking space on the premises.
Calahonda's lower quarter positions this townhouse 50 metres from Mercadona supermarket, placing daily essentials within a one-minute walk. The A7 motorway lies less than two kilometres north, connecting Marbella in 15 minutes westbound and Málaga airport in 35 minutes eastbound. Local bus services stop within 100 metres, running hourly to Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas. Bars and restaurants line the beachfront promenade, where the coastal path extends five kilometres in either direction. The property was built in 2002 and remains in excellent condition, with optional furniture available for negotiation.

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