About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse in Costa del Sol East, Rincón de la Victoria, Costa del Sol, offering 158 square metres of built space across multiple floors with a 20-square-metre terrace and private garden. This property requires complete renovation but presents substantial scope for reconfiguration. The outdoor areas receive morning sun, an uncommon feature for a central village location.
Inside, the layout provides four separate bedrooms and one bathroom, with traditional room proportions that allow flexibility in redesign. The 178-square-metre plot includes the garden space at the rear, accessible from the main living areas. High ceilings and original architectural details remain intact throughout the ground and upper floors. The terrace connects directly to the garden, creating a combined outdoor area that extends the usable space considerably.
The townhouse stands in central Riogordo, a traditional Andalusian village in the Axarquía region, with shops, cafés and restaurants within a two-minute walk. Málaga city centre lies 35 kilometres west via the A-7206 and A-45, approximately 40 minutes by car. The coastal town of Torre del Mar sits 25 kilometres south, providing beach access and additional amenities. Riogordo's weekly market operates on Tuesdays in the main plaza, 150 metres from the property.

Buying this townhouse in Costa del Sol East
Can foreigners buy property in Rincón de la Victoria?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Rincón de la Victoria. 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 Rincón de la Victoria?
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.
