About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Atalaya, Costa del Sol. This south-west-facing property spans 220 square metres across four levels, including a basement and loft conversion, offering unusual vertical space for a home of this type. The private garden extends the living area outdoors, backed by mountain views that frame the horizon beyond the coastal panorama.
The ground floor presents an open-plan kitchen connected to a spacious living room, which opens onto a 40-square-metre glazed terrace. This covered outdoor space leads directly to the private garden, creating continuous flow between interior and exterior zones. Upstairs, four bedrooms are served by three bathrooms, while the basement level provides additional flexible space suited to a home office, gym, or storage. One parking space is included. The property was built in 1993 and remains in good condition throughout, with furniture available by separate negotiation.
Atalaya sits between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, placing this townhouse within a five-minute drive of San Pedro's town centre and its coastal promenade. The area is residential and established, with international schools, supermarkets, and commercial services all within close reach. Atalaya Golf & Country Club borders the neighbourhood to the north, while the beaches of the New Golden Mile lie less than two kilometres south.

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