About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse with private pool in La Quinta, Costa del Sol. This property sits within a private enclave of just 15 homes on La Quinta Golf, where resale opportunities are infrequent. The 195 square metres of interior space includes a 60-square-metre master suite on the upper level with a working fireplace and double aspect, offering a self-contained retreat within the home.
The ground floor opens onto 80 square metres of terrace and a private garden, extending the living area outdoors. Four bathrooms serve the five bedrooms across two levels. The kitchen and living spaces retain their original 1989 character, with natural light entering from multiple aspects. One parking space is included, positioned adjacent to the property. The townhouse is unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to configure the interiors without constraint.
La Quinta Golf sits 8 kilometres inland from Puerto Banús, accessible via a direct route through the hills above Marbella. The property faces La Concha mountain and captures views across the golf course towards the Mediterranean. The complex maintains a low density, with only 14 neighbouring homes sharing the private road and communal areas. San Pedro de Alcántara town centre lies 6 kilometres to the west, reachable in under 10 minutes by car.

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