About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Vélez-Málaga, Costa del Sol. Spread across two levels, this 254sqm residence sits on a generous 2,431sqm plot that gives you genuine space to breathe, with the pool positioned to catch southern sun for most of the day. Large arched windows throughout the ground floor pull natural light deep into the living areas, where a working fireplace anchors the main reception room.
The layout places all principal living spaces on the ground floor, including the kitchen with warm wood cabinetry and integrated appliances, a separate dining area beneath a crystal chandelier, and a sitting room that opens directly to the terrace and pool area. Upstairs, the primary bedroom claims the majority of the first floor, with three further bedrooms and three bathrooms distributed across both levels. The plot extends well beyond the built footprint, offering established garden zones and multiple terraces that step down towards the perimeter.
The villa sits in Arenas, a working village 4km north of Torre del Mar's beachfront, where you'll find the town's main concentration of restaurants and shops along the Paseo Marítimo. Málaga airport lies 42km west via the A-7 coastal motorway, a drive that typically takes 35 minutes outside peak summer traffic. The plot's elevated position means views extend over neighbouring rooftops towards the surrounding farmland rather than the sea itself.

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