About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom townhouse in Tolox, Costa del Sol. This south-facing property spans 400 square metres across multiple floors, offering substantial space for a family looking to create their ideal mountain retreat. The layout accommodates five double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, three bathrooms, and a fully fitted kitchen ready for use.
The interior includes a utility room for practical storage, a separate storage room, and a private terrace extending 40 square metres where you can take in views across the village rooftops. WiFi connectivity and fibre optic infrastructure are already installed throughout. The property comes part-furnished and requires restoration work to bring it to modern standards, allowing you to configure the interiors exactly as you need them. A small 20-square-metre private garden provides outdoor space at ground level, whilst street parking is available directly outside.
Tolox sits in the Sierra de las Nieves mountains, 28 kilometres from Marbella's coastal centre. The townhouse stands within walking distance of local shops, schools, and the village church, with public transport links including a courtesy bus service connecting to surrounding areas. The mountain pueblo setting offers cooler temperatures than the coast whilst maintaining access to the Costa del Sol's beaches and amenities within a 35-minute drive. The property's position on a residential street means you're integrated into the daily rhythm of this working Andalusian village, where traditional whitewashed architecture still defines the streetscape.

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.
