About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Mijas, Costa del Sol. Recently renovated to a high standard, this property commands panoramic vistas across Fuengirola and the Mediterranean from its elevated position. The work was completed approximately one year ago using quality materials throughout, transforming the 150sqm interior into a contemporary coastal home.
The layout spans three floors with outdoor space at each level. The ground floor provides a comfortable lounge and kitchen, whilst the first floor accommodates the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A private roof terrace crowns the property, offering uninterrupted sea views and space for outdoor dining. The renovation introduced modern finishes whilst retaining the townhouse's original 1999 structure. A private parking space is included, and furniture can be negotiated separately.
The property sits within a small private complex of just eight homes, ensuring a quiet residential atmosphere with well-maintained landscaped gardens and a communal swimming pool. Fuengirola town centre lies approximately 5 kilometres downhill, providing access to the beachfront promenade, marina, and year-round amenities. The complex's elevated setting delivers the sea views whilst remaining within easy reach of coastal services and the A7 motorway for connections along the Costa del Sol.

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