About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Riviera del Sol, Costa del Sol. This 131sqm detached house sits on three levels with a private garden and 50sqm of terrace space, including a roof terrace that captures glimpses of the Mediterranean. The property requires renovation throughout, presenting an opportunity to configure the interiors to modern standards whilst retaining the bones of a well-proportioned family layout built in 2006.
The ground floor contains a living and dining area with a working fireplace and direct access to the garden, alongside a separate kitchen and guest toilet. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two bathrooms, with the principal bedroom featuring an en-suite. Two of the bedrooms benefit from sea views. The top level opens to a landing that leads to the roof terrace. Outside, the private garden surrounds the property, and there is dedicated parking for one vehicle. The villa comes unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to implement their own design scheme during the renovation process.
Riviera del Sol lies between Miraflores and Calahonda, placing the villa 1.5 kilometres from Playa del Chaparral and its beachfront chiringuitos. The urbanisation contains a mix of residential properties and the 18-hole Riviera del Sol Golf Course, which runs through the development. Local amenities including supermarkets and restaurants sit within a five-minute drive, whilst Fuengirola town centre is 8 kilometres west along the A7 coastal road.

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