About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom apartment with top-floor position in Málaga, Costa del Sol. This penthouse occupies an entire upper level, delivering an expansive 180sqm of living space reimagined through a full refurbishment that removed internal walls to create flowing, light-filled rooms. The open-plan layout offers multiple configuration options, while a second-level mezzanine room provides a self-contained area suitable as a home office, studio, or guest quarters.
The interior accommodates six bedrooms across generous proportions, supported by two full bathrooms. The refurbishment prioritised width and openness, joining previously separate rooms into interconnected living zones that maintain flexibility for family use or entertaining. Each bedroom benefits from the expanded spatial design, and the dual bathrooms ensure practical convenience for larger households. A 5sqm terrace extends the living area outdoors, providing private external space at roof level.
The apartment sits in central Málaga, placing you within walking distance of Calle Larios, the city's principal shopping street, which is approximately 8 minutes on foot. The location delivers immediate access to independent shops, established restaurants, cultural venues including the Picasso Museum, and the full infrastructure of urban living. Málaga Cathedral stands 10 minutes away, while the Muelle Uno waterfront promenade and port area lie within a 15-minute walk, connecting you to coastal dining and marina views without leaving the city centre.

Buying this apartment 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.
