About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Torreblanca, Costa del Sol. The rooftop terrace commands uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean, creating an elevated outdoor room where the horizon becomes part of daily life rather than an occasional treat.
Inside, 197 square metres unfold across three levels, each bedroom paired with its own bathroom to give family members and guests genuine privacy. The ground-floor living and dining area centres on a working fireplace, whilst the separate kitchen maintains clear boundaries between cooking and living zones. The main terrace extends from this level with 140 square metres of private outdoor space, including a swimming pool sized for proper lengths rather than ornamental dipping. Three bathrooms mean no morning queues, and the layout separates sleeping quarters across the upper floors to reduce noise travel between rooms.
Torreblanca sits 800 metres from Playa de Torreblanca, a Blue Flag beach with year-round lifeguard cover and a promenade linking to Fuengirola's marina in a 15-minute coastal walk. The neighbourhood developed in the mid-2000s with low-rise construction that preserves sightlines, and this 2009-built townhouse reflects that era's preference for generous room proportions over compact efficiency. Local supermarkets and the Torreblanca health centre lie within 400 metres, whilst Málaga Airport sits 20 kilometres east via the A-7 coastal motorway.

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