About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. This family home sits on Calle Pintada, one of the town's most central streets, where original wooden doors and windows frame bright, airy interiors that capture the essence of traditional Andalusian living. The 138sqm layout spans two floors, with multiple windows and open-plan spaces that bring natural light into every corner.
The ground level flows into a rear terrace suited for outdoor dining, while the upper floor holds the sleeping quarters with access to additional outdoor space. Five bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for extended family or guests, supported by two bathrooms. Original architectural details remain throughout, including period woodwork and high ceilings that add character to the contemporary indoor-outdoor layout. The unfurnished rooms offer a blank canvas for personalisation.
Calle Pintada runs through the old town quarter, placing this townhouse within a three-minute walk of Playa Calahonda and five minutes from Playa de Burriana. Local restaurants, independent shops and daily amenities line the surrounding streets, while the beachfront promenade extends east towards the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs. The property's central position means both beaches and the town's historic core remain accessible on foot year-round.

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