About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Alhaurín el Grande, Costa del Sol. The property delivers 572 square metres of built space across generously proportioned rooms, offering a level of privacy rare in developments closer to the coast. Set on urban land with mains water connection, the villa combines countryside calm with the infrastructure of an established residential area.
Inside, four double bedrooms are served by three bathrooms, with the principal suite occupying its own wing on the first floor. The ground floor opens onto a 60-square-metre covered terrace that wraps around the southern side of the property, connecting the main living areas to the pool terrace. The kitchen is part-furnished and retains original cabinetry from the 2000 build, with space for a full dining table. A separate utility room runs off the kitchen, and there is one allocated parking space within the plot boundary.
The villa sits in the La Chicharra residential area, a quiet pocket of low-density housing 3 kilometres north of Alhaurín el Grande town centre, where you will find the weekly Friday market, municipal sports centre and a Mercadona. The property is surrounded by almond and olive groves, with uninterrupted views across open countryside from the upper floor. Málaga airport lies 35 kilometres to the south, a 30-minute drive via the A-357. The pool measures approximately 8 by 4 metres and is set into a tiled sun terrace with mature planting along the western boundary.

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