About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Costa del Sol East, Torrox Costa, Costa del Sol. Built in 2024, this property sits within the exclusive El Mirador gated development, where panoramic Mediterranean views stretch from the 298-square-metre terrace. The contemporary design follows Scandinavian construction standards adapted for Andalusian coastal living, delivering both thermal efficiency and natural light throughout 156 square metres of interior space.
The ground-floor layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all delivered fully furnished to move-in standard. The open-plan living area connects directly to the expansive terrace, which functions as an outdoor room across multiple levels. A private parking space is included, alongside access to communal facilities that feature a heated infinity pool with sea views, a wellness and spa area, a residents' gym, and landscaped gardens. The property's 2024 completion means all systems, finishes and appliances remain under warranty.
El Mirador comprises just 37 townhouses within a secure perimeter, maintaining low density across the site. The development occupies an elevated position above Torrox Costa's beachfront, placing the sand and promenade within a five-minute drive. Torrox town centre, known for its microclimate and year-round sunshine hours, sits 3 kilometres inland, while Nerja's caves and coastal villages lie 15 minutes east along the N-340 coast road.

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