About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa in Alhaurín de la Torre, Costa del Sol, with views sweeping across the Bay of Málaga and the inland countryside. The property sits on a 1,285-square-metre plot and spreads across three levels, including a basement that houses a gym space easily convertible into a self-contained apartment. Solar panels reduce energy costs, and the entire house has been maintained in impeccable condition since its construction in 2000.
The 253-square-metre interior divides into distinct living zones across two main floors. The ground level holds a spacious living-dining room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a double bedroom, and a complete bathroom, all opening onto a terrace. Upstairs, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the first floor, each room fitted with air conditioning and positioned to capture the views. The basement level contains a laundry room, a closed garage with space for several vehicles, and the gym area that can function independently from the main residence.
The villa stands in the Pinos de Alhaurín area, 10 minutes' drive from Alhaurín de la Torre town centre and an equal distance from Lauro Golf. Málaga Airport lies 20 minutes away by car, placing the Costa del Sol's beaches and the city's cultural attractions within easy reach. The terrace extends the living space outdoors, framing the coastal and mountain panorama that defines this elevated position above the Guadalhorce valley.

Buying this villa in Alhaurín de la Torre
Can foreigners buy property in Alhaurín de la Torre?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Alhaurín de la Torre. 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 Alhaurín de la Torre?
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.
