About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. The private pool offers a rare amenity in this coastal town, set within a fifth-floor residence where all four bedrooms face outward to draw in natural Mediterranean light throughout the day.
Inside, 135 square metres of living space includes an independent kitchen with a dedicated utility area, a spacious lounge that opens onto a 21-square-metre terrace, and two full bathrooms serving the four bedrooms. The kitchen provides separate preparation and storage zones, while the terrace extends the living area outdoors with enough space for dining furniture and sun loungers. One parking space is included, solving the perennial challenge of vehicle storage in this beachside location. The apartment comes with optional furniture, allowing you to move in immediately or configure the space to your own specification.
Torremolinos town centre sits less than ten minutes' walk away, placing you within easy reach of the Paseo Marítimo promenade, the historic Bajondillo beach, and the full range of shops, restaurants and transport links that define this established Costa del Sol resort. The building dates from 1977 and maintains good overall condition, with the fifth-floor position ensuring uninterrupted airflow and reduced street noise. The property's beachside location means the sand lies within a five-minute stroll, whilst Málaga Airport is a 15-minute drive along the coastal motorway.

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