About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse in The Golden Mile, Costa del Sol, offering 200 square metres of built space across two interconnected dwellings that can be separated into independent units. This dual-configuration layout provides flexibility for multi-generational living or rental income potential, with each section maintaining its own entrance and living areas. The 208-square-metre plot sits within mature gardens where established trees and original Andalusian architectural details create a distinctive character rarely found in newer developments.
Inside, the three bathrooms serve the bedroom accommodation across both levels, while the east-facing orientation delivers morning light into the principal living spaces. The 8-square-metre terrace extends from the upper floor, providing an outdoor area for dining or relaxation. Built in 1972, the property retains period features including traditional tilework and exposed beamwork, though the interiors present scope for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. The layout separates sleeping quarters from communal areas, with the kitchen positioned to access both the internal courtyard and main living room.
La Virginia urbanisation maintains communal pools and landscaped gardens shared among residents, with pedestrian pathways connecting the properties throughout the complex. The Golden Mile's beachfront lies 800 metres south, accessible via tree-lined streets that characterise this established neighbourhood. Marbella Club Hotel sits 1.2 kilometres west along the coastal road, while Puerto Banús marina is a six-minute drive for waterfront dining and shopping facilities.

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