About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. This property comprises three self-contained apartments across multiple floors, each with its own entrance and living space. The layout delivers flexibility for extended family living or rental income, with accommodation spread across 212 square metres of built space and a substantial roof terrace that frames views across the Mediterranean.
The ground floor apartment opens from a bright entrance hall, while two additional apartments occupy the upper levels. Each unit contains its own kitchen and bathroom facilities, with the three bathrooms distributed across the property. The 114-square-metre plot supports the building's footprint, and the roof terrace adds significant outdoor space for entertaining or relaxation. Built in 2000, the structure has been renovated to improve the internal configuration and finishes, creating distinct living zones that function independently whilst sharing the building's envelope.
The property sits in the centre of Maro, a coastal village known for its clear-water coves and quiet residential streets. Maro beach lies 1.5 kilometres from the front door, accessible via a winding road that drops to the shoreline. The village maintains its own selection of local bars and shops within walking distance, whilst Nerja town centre sits 5 kilometres west along the coast road, offering larger supermarkets, restaurants and the famous Balcón de Europa viewpoint. The location places you within the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo natural park, where coastal paths trace the clifftops between hidden beaches.

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