About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Frigiliana, Costa del Sol. This Andalusian estate comprises three independent houses arranged across a 7,134-square-metre plot, each built in traditional style with exposed beams and whitewashed walls. The configuration allows extended families to occupy separate spaces while sharing communal grounds, or provides income potential through dual rental streams alongside owner occupation.
The main residence and two guest houses total 419 square metres of built space across six bedrooms and four full bathrooms plus one guest WC. Original architectural features remain throughout, including terracotta flooring and timber ceiling beams, preserved during a careful restoration that introduced modern plumbing and electrical systems. Mature gardens wrap around all three structures, planted with established trees and flowering shrubs that create shaded seating areas between the buildings. The swimming pool sits on a south-facing terrace with views across the surrounding avocado groves, and multiple outdoor dining spaces are positioned to capture different light throughout the day. One covered parking space serves the property.
The estate sits 500 metres uphill from Frigiliana village, where the cobbled old quarter contains bakeries, restaurants and a weekly market. Nerja's beaches lie 3.8 kilometres south via the coastal road, a seven-minute drive that descends through agricultural land before reaching the shoreline at Playa de Burriana. The property borders working avocado plantations on two sides, with no neighbouring houses visible from the main terrace.

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