About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. From the top-floor position, the south-facing orientation delivers both Mediterranean glimpses and mountain backdrops across 48 square metres of terrace space. The property spans 227 square metres across three levels, offering separation between living and sleeping zones that works particularly well for families or guests.
Inside, the layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a separate guest toilet. The ground level opens to a private garden with direct access to outdoor space, whilst the upper floors capture the views. The kitchen comes fully equipped and the property is sold fully furnished, ready for immediate use. A private parking space is included within the gated development, and residents share access to a communal pool. Built in 2002, the townhouse maintains good condition throughout without requiring immediate works.
The property sits within Araijanal, a gated community positioned on the quieter edges of La Cala de Mijas yet within a 10-minute walk of the town centre. The beaches that give this stretch of coastline its appeal lie less than one kilometre away, reachable on foot without needing the car. Local schools, restaurants and the weekly market all fall within the same walking radius, making this a practical year-round base rather than solely a holiday retreat. The urbanisation's gated entrance filters traffic whilst maintaining easy access to the A-7 coastal road for connections east to Málaga or west towards Marbella.

9 questions answered
Buying this townhouse in La Cala de Mijas
Can foreigners buy property in La Cala De Mijas?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in La Cala De Mijas. 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 La Cala De Mijas?
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.
