About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This single-level detached property sits on a 776sqm plot and delivers direct mountain views from multiple aspects. The 150sqm layout centres on privacy and outdoor access, with covered terraces extending the living space year-round.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen connects to a dining area and a living room that opens directly onto a 22sqm covered terrace fitted with glass curtains. All three bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms, and the layout avoids internal stairs entirely. The private swimming pool anchors landscaped gardens that wrap around the villa, with mature planting screening the plot from neighbouring properties. One covered parking space sits within the grounds, and the terrace configuration allows for outdoor dining in both sun and shade throughout the day.
The villa forms part of Buenavista, a gated community with 24-hour security positioned in the hills above Mijas Pueblo. The white village itself lies 3 kilometres uphill, reachable in under five minutes by car, where the central square and weekly market operate year-round. Málaga Airport sits 30 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway, placing international connections within a 25-minute drive during off-peak hours.

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