About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with private pool in Los Boliches, Costa del Sol. This 148-square-metre residence occupies one of the most coveted buildings in the area, offering a rare combination of space and exclusivity in a coastal location where such properties seldom reach the market. The private pool provides a secluded retreat within a setting where beach access sits just 250 metres from your front door.
Inside, the layout delivers a spacious living and dining area flooded with natural light, four generous bedrooms, and two bathrooms across the 148 square metres of built space. A 36-square-metre terrace extends the living area outdoors, framed by mountain views that provide a striking backdrop to morning coffee or evening meals. The apartment has been renovated to excellent condition whilst retaining the solid construction quality of its 1993 build. Part-furnished and ready for immediate occupation, the property includes one parking space and benefits from the building's established infrastructure and mature communal grounds.
Los Boliches train station sits within a five-minute walk, connecting you to Málaga Airport in 20 minutes and the wider Costa del Sol network without the need for a car. The surrounding streets hold supermarkets, schools, restaurants, and daily services within a two-block radius, creating a self-contained neighbourhood where most errands happen on foot. The beach at Los Boliches stretches along a promenade lined with chiringuitos and beach clubs, less than three minutes' walk from the building entrance.

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