About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with a fully renovated interior in La Mairena, Costa del Sol. The complete refurbishment has transformed this 2004-built property into a contemporary residence centred around an open-plan kitchen fitted with premium appliances and flowing directly into the living and dining spaces. Natural light fills these 573sqm of living areas throughout the day, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted panoramic views across the surrounding hills and valleys.
Each of the four bedrooms includes its own en-suite bathroom, creating four independent bedroom suites that provide genuine privacy for family or guests. The 2,852sqm plot sits flat and usable, offering extensive outdoor space on a single level without terracing or steps. A 120sqm terrace extends the living area outdoors, positioned to capture the landscape views. The ground floor houses the main living zones and kitchen, whilst a separate guest toilet serves the communal areas.
La Mairena occupies an elevated position in the hills above Elviria, approximately 15 minutes' drive from the beaches and restaurants of Elviria itself. The location sits 20 minutes from Marbella's old town and 35 minutes from Málaga Airport via the A-7 coastal motorway. The surrounding area includes the Santa María Golf Club within 5 minutes and several mountain walking trails that begin from the La Mairena urbanisation itself.

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