About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse in Arroyo de la Miel, Costa del Sol. Built in 2008 with solid construction across 154 square metres, this property occupies a residential position close to the town centre with direct highway access for onward travel across the coast. The layout provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms across multiple levels, offering separation between sleeping and living areas.
The ground-floor living space connects to a kitchen fitted for everyday use, while the upper levels accommodate the four bedrooms with built-in storage in the principal rooms. Three bathrooms serve the property, including an en-suite to the master bedroom. A private garage provides secure parking for one vehicle, with additional street parking available nearby. The exterior includes a small patio area to the rear, suitable for outdoor seating and morning coffee.
Arroyo de la Miel sits inland from the beachfront developments, placing this townhouse 1.8 kilometres from Bil-Bil Beach and a four-minute drive from the A-7 coastal motorway. Local supermarkets, schools and the Tivoli World amusement park all fall within a one-kilometre radius. Benalmádena Pueblo, the historic village centre with its whitewashed streets and tapas bars, lies three kilometres uphill to the northwest. The property requires some updating to bring finishes in line with current standards, though the structure and proportions remain sound throughout.

Buying this townhouse in Arroyo de la Miel
Can foreigners buy property in Arroyo De La Miel?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Arroyo De La Miel. 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 Arroyo De La Miel?
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.
