About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in New Golden Mile, Costa del Sol. This 151sqm corner property occupies a prime position within the gated Villacana complex, where three separate terraces capture sunlight from dawn through dusk across north-east, south and south-west orientations.
The ground-floor layout includes an entrance hall leading to a reception room with direct terrace access, a fitted kitchen, and a guest cloakroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and private terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, whilst two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom. The current configuration allows for conversion into a self-contained studio apartment within the footprint – a separate bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette space already exists on the lower level. Outside, 30sqm of terrace space spreads across three distinct zones, each catching different light throughout the day. One allocated parking space serves the property.
Villacana sits 200 metres from Costalita beach, where a sandy shoreline runs alongside one of the coast's longest beach promenades. The complex provides 24-hour security, communal swimming pools and direct beachfront access. San Pedro de Alcántara lies 4 kilometres west, Puerto Banús 6 kilometres east. Several beach clubs and chiringuitos operate within a five-minute walk along the shore.

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