About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa in Costa del Sol East, Rincón de la Victoria, Costa del Sol, positioned on the second line from the beach with potential to add a 60-square-metre upper storey. The 750-square-metre plot sits entirely flat, a rarity along this stretch of coast, offering immediate scope for landscaping or a future swimming pool. Built in 1977, the property requires full renovation but retains a straightforward single-storey layout that lends itself to contemporary reconfiguration.
The 182 square metres of built space unfold across a living room, separate kitchen, four bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. One bedroom sits independently outside the main structure and includes an en-suite bathroom, making it suitable for guest accommodation or rental income. A dedicated laundry room and storage room provide practical support spaces often absent in coastal properties of this vintage. The single-floor configuration eliminates stairs, and planning permission allows for vertical expansion should additional living area be required.
Rincón de la Victoria's town centre lies 1.5 kilometres to the west, accessible via a flat seafront promenade that connects to local shops and the weekly market. Playa de Rincón de la Victoria stretches just 150 metres from the front gate, with several beach bars operating year-round along the sand. Málaga airport sits 22 kilometres west along the A-7 coastal motorway, a 20-minute drive in off-peak hours. The fourth bedroom's independent entrance opens directly onto the rear garden, separated from the main house by a small patio area currently used for exterior storage.

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