About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Costa del Sol East, Torre del Mar, Costa del Sol. This renovated semi-detached property sits on a 320sqm plot and delivers 267sqm of living space across three floors, each with its own entrance. The layout includes two fully equipped kitchens, a home cinema, and a gymnasium in the basement level, which functions as an independent entertaining suite or self-contained guest apartment with two bedrooms.
The ground floor centres on an open-plan living and dining room with a working fireplace, leading to a modern kitchen fitted with integrated appliances and balcony access. Three double bedrooms occupy the upper levels, served by three full bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom. The basement level houses a double garage converted into the cinema room, alongside the gym, second kitchen, and guest WC, with internal stairs connecting directly to the ground floor.

The property sits in the Viña Málaga residential quarter, a low-density neighbourhood east of the town centre where most plots retain mature planting and off-street parking. Málaga Airport is 35 minutes west via the A-7 coastal motorway, and the historic centre of Vélez-Málaga, the administrative capital of the Axarquía district, is 4km inland.

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