About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. Built across 346 square metres on a 1,299-square-metre plot, this 1985-built residence delivers outdoor space on a scale rarely found this close to town. The swimming pool stretches the length of the main terrace, flanked by multiple paved zones for dining, lounging, and seasonal entertaining under open sky.
Inside, three double bedrooms each pair with their own bathroom, whilst the modern kitchen connects directly to a bright living area that opens onto the pool terrace. Natural light fills every room, and the layout flows logically between sleeping, cooking, and social zones without wasted corridor space. Part-furnished and maintained in excellent condition, the villa includes one covered parking space and storage outbuildings positioned at the rear of the plot, leaving the front gardens open and planted.
The property sits just minutes from the centre of Nerja, where the Balcón de Europa viewpoint overlooks the Mediterranean coastline less than 2 kilometres away. Shops, restaurants, and the weekly market all lie within a short drive, whilst the beaches of Burriana and Calahonda stretch east along the Costa del Sol shoreline. The elevated position ensures privacy without isolation, and the mature gardens frame the pool area with established planting that requires minimal intervention throughout the year.

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