About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Málaga, Costa del Sol. This southwest and west-facing residence sits directly on the sand, offering uninterrupted Mediterranean views from its 60sqm terrace where the horizon meets the sea at eye level throughout the day.
Inside, 123sqm of living space divides into four bedrooms and three bathrooms, all presented in excellent condition despite the 1989 build date. The terrace extends the full width of the property, creating an outdoor room large enough for separate dining and lounging zones. Ground-level positioning means you step from the apartment through communal gardens straight onto the beach without stairs or lifts. One designated parking space is included, and residents share access to a swimming pool set within the maintained gardens.
The property stands between Estepona and Marbella on a quiet stretch of coastline, connected to both towns by the seafront promenade that runs the length of this part of the Costa del Sol. Several beach clubs and restaurants line this section of the coast within a five-minute walk, whilst Málaga city centre sits 45 minutes east along the A7. The building fronts directly onto the sand with nothing between the terrace and the waterline except the shared garden.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Estepona
Can foreigners buy property in Málaga?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Málaga. 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 Málaga?
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.
