About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with private pool in Málaga, Costa del Sol. This substantial property sits on a 5,000sqm plot with two independent residences, offering flexible accommodation across 380sqm of built space. The main villa houses the primary living quarters, whilst a separate guest house provides complete independence for visitors or extended family, each residence enjoying its own entrance and facilities.
The main residence delivers generous proportions throughout its five bedrooms and five bathrooms, complemented by 250sqm of terrace space that wraps around the property. Inside, the layout accommodates formal and informal living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and wellness facilities including a dedicated spa zone. The plot extends well beyond the footprint of the buildings, leaving considerable room for gardens, outdoor dining areas, and a private swimming pool that takes advantage of the elevated position. One covered parking space is included, with ample additional room on the grounds for further vehicles.
The villa occupies a plot within one of Málaga's established private residential communities, where properties are set well apart to preserve privacy and quietude. From this elevated position, the terrain drops away to reveal views across the mountains, the city rooftops, and the Mediterranean coastline beyond. Málaga city centre lies 15 minutes away by car, placing the cathedral, Picasso Museum, and central market within easy reach whilst maintaining separation from urban density.

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