About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse in Alhaurín el Grande, Costa del Sol. This 223sqm multi-level property offers substantial scope for a buyer willing to unlock its full potential through thoughtful renovation. The main floor has already been updated, presenting a 100sqm open-plan living area where the kitchen, dining space and sitting room flow together around a working fireplace.
The layout spreads across several levels and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 50sqm of terrace space. The rooftop provides an additional outdoor area with views across the town and surrounding countryside. Beyond the renovated main floor, the property retains generous secondary spaces that could be reconfigured as additional bedrooms, a home office, or independent guest quarters. The 121sqm plot anchors the building, whilst the part-furnished interior allows immediate occupation with room to personalise over time.
Alhaurín el Grande sits in the foothills north of the coast, 30 minutes by car from Málaga Airport. The town centre, with its weekly market and collection of traditional tapas bars, lies within a five-minute walk. The property's position on the edge of the historic quarter means bakeries, pharmacies and local shops are all accessible on foot, whilst the larger commercial centres of the Costa del Sol remain easily reachable by road.

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