About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse in Ronda, Costa del Sol, offering 112 square metres of family living across three floors with private parking. The semi-basement level provides additional storage and utility space, whilst the ground floor features a dual-aspect living room divided into separate lounge and dining areas.
The 25-square-metre kitchen opens directly onto a rear patio, creating an indoor-outdoor flow for daily meals and entertaining. A utility room sits adjacent to the kitchen, and a guest toilet completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony, whilst two single bedrooms share a second full bathroom. The entrance patio at street level accommodates one parking space. Part-furnished throughout, the property provides immediate move-in potential without the need for major refurbishment.
The townhouse sits within El Arenal, a residential development positioned five minutes by car from Ronda's historic centre. The town's famous Puente Nuevo bridge and dramatic gorge lie 3 kilometres to the north-east, accessible via the A-374 road. Ronda's shops, restaurants and weekly market operate within a short drive, whilst the property's setting offers quieter surroundings outside the tourist core. The development provides a residential community environment with neighbouring properties sharing similar architectural styles and plot layouts.

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