About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with mountain views in Alora, Costa del Sol. The property rises across five levels to capture panoramic vistas of the surrounding Sierra de las Nieves range from its top-floor position. A west-facing orientation ensures afternoon and evening light floods the upper terraces, where the 35sqm outdoor space frames the mountain backdrop.
The 362sqm interior divides into distinct living zones across its vertical layout. The ground floor holds a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances that opens to a private terrace for outdoor dining, plus a guest toilet. The first floor dedicates itself to the master suite, complete with walk-in dressing area and en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms occupy the second floor, sharing a family bathroom, while the third floor adds a fourth bedroom with flexible use as a home office or guest room. The top level converts the entire footprint into a roof terrace with 360-degree views across the valley and peaks.
The townhouse sits in Alora's historic centre, where whitewashed streets wind between traditional Andalusian buildings. The property stands a three-minute walk from Plaza Baja, the main square lined with cafés and local shops. Alora train station connects to Málaga city in 40 minutes, while the village maintains its working character with weekly markets and year-round community life rather than seasonal tourism.

Buying this townhouse 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.
