About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with private pool in Alhaurin el Grande, Costa del Sol. This 514sqm detached property has been renovated throughout, with new bathrooms, central heating, and a fully fitted modern kitchen installed to bring the 2000-built house up to contemporary standards. The south-east orientation ensures morning light floods the main rooms, while mountain views stretch out from multiple terraces.
The ground floor delivers 514sqm of living space across interconnected reception rooms: a lounge with exposed beamed ceiling and patio doors opening to a covered terrace, a separate dining room with direct terrace access, and a fifth bedroom currently configured as a second lounge or office. The kitchen is fully fitted with modern units. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a master with walk-in wardrobes and terrace access, plus three doubles with fitted storage and shared access to an open terrace measuring part of the 35sqm outdoor space. Three bathrooms serve the five bedrooms. The 790sqm plot accommodates the private pool, one covered parking space, and landscaped areas surrounding the villa.
The property sits within La Paca urbanisation on the outskirts of Alhaurin el Grande, a working Andalusian town 3km from the villa with twice-weekly markets, independent shops, and year-round services. The urbanisation lies 25 minutes by car from Málaga airport via the A-357, with the coastal resorts of Fuengirola and Marbella both within 30 minutes' drive. Part-furnished sale includes selected items, and the covered porch at the entrance provides a shaded transition between the planted front garden and the entrance hall.

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