About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse with private pool in La Mairena, Costa del Sol. This southwest-facing property sits on three sides with 387 square metres of interior space and 200 square metres of terrace, creating a layout where the garden and pool area become natural extensions of the living space. Built in 2008 and maintained in excellent condition, the home distributes five bathrooms across its levels, with each bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite. The entrance hall opens to reception rooms where floor-to-ceiling windows frame views across to the sea, Gibraltar, and the mountain ranges beyond.
The ground level connects the main living areas to the outdoor space through multiple access points. The kitchen has been fitted with integrated appliances and connects to a separate utility area. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite includes a private terrace with the same coastal and mountain panorama. The lower level adds a further bedroom suite plus flexible space that functions as a secondary lounge or media room. Outside, the garden wraps around the pool on three sides, with mature planting providing natural screening. The single parking space sits beneath a covered carport.
La Mairena occupies elevated terrain above the main coastal corridor, where the residential streets remain quiet year-round while staying connected to amenities. The property sits 15 minutes by car from Elviria town centre and its beaches, where a full commercial strip includes supermarkets, restaurants, and the Elviria Tennis Club. Marbella's Golden Mile lies 20 minutes west along the A-7.

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