About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in La Quinta, Costa del Sol. Spanning three levels and 212 square metres of built space, this fully renovated property layers Scandinavian minimalism over Mediterranean warmth, with 95 square metres of terrace and a rooftop solarium that captures panoramic views across the coastline and mountains.
The ground floor opens into an open-plan living area anchored by a custom-designed kitchen fitted with top-quality appliances and a wine fridge, while a fireplace centres the lounge. Large sliding doors connect directly to a private terrace and garden. Upstairs, the master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, with two further bedrooms and a guest bathroom providing flexible accommodation. The rooftop solarium, accessed via internal stairs, delivers uninterrupted views and south-west orientation that holds the afternoon light. One parking space is included, and the property is offered with optional furniture.
Set within La Quinta Hills, a gated community in Benahavís with access to golf facilities, the townhouse sits less than two kilometres from La Quinta Golf & Country Club. The complex provides a residential setting above the coastal corridor, with Marbella's Golden Mile a 15-minute drive south and Puerto Banús reachable in similar time. The property was built in 1994 and renovated to excellent condition throughout.

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