About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse in Coín, Costa del Sol. This 238sqm property sits in the historic centre, offering substantial space across two floors plus a roof terrace. The layout provides scope for renovation, with original features including a traditional cave-built section in the ground-floor patio that reflects the architectural heritage of this part of Coín.
The ground floor opens through a hallway into a sequence of rooms: an initial reception room, a living room with integrated kitchen, and access to an internal patio. The patio houses a bathroom with shower and a large storage room currently functioning as a utility space. The 238sqm build extends across two upper floors, creating five bedrooms and accommodating family living on a generous scale. The roof terrace adds outdoor space with views across the town's roofline. The cave-built section in the covered patio retains its natural rock structure, a distinctive characteristic of older Coín properties.
The townhouse stands within walking distance of Plaza de la Alameda and Plaza de la Constitución, where the town's weekly market operates. Shops, restaurants and cafés cluster around these central squares, all reachable on foot in under five minutes. Coín's position in the Guadalhorce Valley places it 33 kilometres inland from Marbella, with the coast accessible in approximately 35 minutes by car. The town retains its agricultural character while offering modern amenities including supermarkets, medical facilities and schools. The property's central location means daily services and the town's social hub are immediately accessible without requiring transport.

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