About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with private pool in Guadalmina Baja, Costa del Sol. Built in 1971, this Andalusian-style property sits on a substantial 5,000sqm plot wrapped in mature gardens and established vegetation that creates complete seclusion from neighbouring properties.
The villa offers 450sqm of built space across five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, all requiring comprehensive renovation to meet contemporary standards. The current layout reflects the architectural preferences of the early 1970s, with distinct separation between living zones and service areas. The private swimming pool occupies a central position within the grounds, surrounded by mature trees and lawn areas that extend across the full plot. Wide, tree-lined pathways connect different sections of the garden, whilst the property's footprint allows for potential expansion or complete redevelopment within the generous plot boundaries.
Guadalmina Baja maintains its reputation as one of the Costa del Sol's most established residential addresses, characterised by wide avenues and proximity to essential amenities. The beach lies just a few hundred metres from the property, accessible via a short walk through the residential streets. Guadalmina Golf Course borders the neighbourhood, whilst Puerto Banús sits approximately 10 minutes away by car. International schools serving the area include Aloha College and San José, both within a 15-minute drive. The plot's substantial size and prime location within this protected residential zone make it suitable for either sympathetic restoration of the existing structure or clearance for a contemporary architectural project.

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