About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with sea views in Torremuelle, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence in the Big Blue gated complex includes a private pool, one of the few properties in the development to offer this feature. Southwest orientation ensures natural light across all three floors, while the layout separates private quarters from communal spaces through a design that prioritises both function and flow.
The entrance floor contains a complete bedroom suite with private bathroom, dressing room and balcony with southwest-facing sea views. The main living level opens onto a 263-square-metre terrace that wraps around the property, connecting indoor and outdoor living areas. The kitchen features integrated appliances and direct terrace access. Four additional bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with fitted wardrobes, and the principal suite includes a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Built area spans 284 square metres across the three floors, with one parking space included.
Big Blue sits in Torremuelle, a residential area between Benalmádena and Fuengirola. The gated complex provides a communal pool, gym and 24-hour security. Benalmádena Marina lies 2.5 kilometres north, accessible via the coastal road in under five minutes by car. The property was completed in 2018 and remains in excellent condition, with furniture available by separate negotiation.

9 questions answered
Buying this villa in Torremuelle
Can foreigners buy property in Torremuelle?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Torremuelle. 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 Torremuelle?
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.
