About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom finca with mountain views in Alora, Costa del Sol. The property comprises two independent houses on a south-facing 4,900sqm plot, offering open vistas across the Guadalhorce Valley terrain. The main residence includes a living and dining room with fireplace, three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen, while the second building provides a self-contained apartment with open-plan kitchen, large bedroom, and full bathroom.
Inside, the main house spans 96sqm with two double bedrooms and one single bedroom sharing one bathroom. The living room centres around a working fireplace, and the kitchen comes fully fitted with appliances. The separate apartment functions as a complete unit with its own bathroom and living space. A detached garage provides covered parking for one vehicle, with an adjacent storage room for tools and equipment.
The finca sits in a quiet valley near the El Puente neighbourhood on the outskirts of Alora. The whitewashed town centre lies 3km away, where you'll find traditional tapas bars, weekly markets, and the hilltop ruins of Castillo de Alora. The plot's position in the Guadalhorce Valley provides uninterrupted mountain views across olive groves and almond terraces, with the surrounding terrain remaining largely agricultural and undeveloped.

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