About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Costalita, Costa del Sol. This 317-square-metre semi-detached property sits 150 metres from the Mediterranean shoreline on the New Golden Mile, a stretch of coast between Marbella and Estepona where residential streets give way to the Senda Litoral coastal path. The layout prioritises separation between living zones and sleeping quarters, with independent access points that allow the ground and upper floors to function autonomously when required.
Inside, the accommodation spans four bedrooms and three full bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom across 317 square metres of built space. The kitchen arrives fully equipped with integrated appliances and connects directly to a 35-square-metre terrace that wraps around the rear of the villa. A private swimming pool occupies the 150-square-metre plot, screened from neighbouring properties by mature planting and boundary walls. The property includes one designated parking space and comes with optional furniture throughout, meaning immediate occupation without the need for additional fittings.
Costalita sits on the New Golden Mile, a residential corridor that runs parallel to the A7 coast road. The villa stands 150 metres from Saladillo Beach, accessible on foot via residential streets that connect to the beachfront promenade. Puerto Banús marina lies eight minutes away by car, while Estepona town centre is a similar distance in the opposite direction along the coastal highway.

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