About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse with mountain views in Tolox, Costa del Sol. The property sits at the edge of the village where countryside paths begin, with a glazed sun lounge that frames the valley and peaks beyond. A wood-burning stove anchors the first of two separate lounges, whilst the rear kitchen-diner extends into a conservatory flooded with natural light.
The 168 square metre interior includes five bedrooms and two bathrooms across multiple levels, with a large basement accessible via its own separate entrance that could convert into independent guest accommodation. A roof solarium provides 360-degree panoramic mountain scenery with space to install a rooftop jacuzzi. The basement spans the full footprint of the house, offering storage or scope for a self-contained studio with kitchen and bathroom facilities. Each room benefits from the altitude and aspect, with windows positioned to capture cross-ventilation and views.
The townhouse stands in Tolox village centre, 28 kilometres north of Marbella and a 40-minute drive from the coast. The Sierra de las Nieves National Park borders the village to the north and west, with marked hiking trails starting 200 metres from the property. Tolox retains a working spa fed by natural mineral springs, and the village square with its weekly market sits three minutes' walk away. The basement's independent access opens onto a side street, allowing guests or tenants to come and go without passing through the main house.

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