About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa in Alhaurín el Grande, Costa del Sol. This three-storey townhouse offers 147 square metres of living space with dual street access, an unusual configuration that brings natural light from two directions and creates multiple entry options. The layout includes two separate living rooms, providing flexibility for families who need distinct spaces for different activities or generations.
The interior spans three floors with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a separate kitchen that opens onto an interior patio. An 80-square-metre rooftop terrace crowns the building, accessible via an attic storage room that adds practical utility to the upper level. The middle floor includes a balcony, whilst the ground floor connects to the patio, creating three distinct outdoor zones at different heights. Built in 1970, the property retains its original structure in good condition, ready for a buyer to modernise finishes and systems to contemporary standards.
The townhouse sits in the centre of Alhaurín el Grande, where the weekly Thursday market draws vendors and shoppers to streets within a two-minute walk. The town's position in the Guadalhorce Valley places it 25 kilometres inland from Málaga Airport, with the coastal resorts of Torremolinos and Fuengirola a 20-minute drive south. The rooftop terrace offers views across the town's whitewashed rooflines towards the surrounding almond groves and citrus orchards that characterise this agricultural municipality of 25,000 residents.

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.
