About this property
Overview
Seven-bedroom villa with private pool in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This single-storey residence sits on a flat 3,609-square-metre plot with south-facing orientation that captures sunlight throughout the day, year-round. The 515 square metres of built space spread across one level, eliminating stairs and creating an accessible layout.
The property contains five bathrooms distributed among the seven bedrooms, with reception rooms that open directly onto the garden and pool terrace. The flat terrain of the plot provides ample space for outdoor dining areas, sun loungers, and potential for additional landscaping or recreational facilities. One covered parking space is included, whilst the generous plot size allows for further vehicle accommodation if required. The villa's single-storey configuration means all living spaces, bedrooms, and the kitchen occupy the same level, with direct access to the outdoor areas from multiple rooms.
La Alqueria is a quiet residential development positioned on the hillside below Mijas pueblo, the whitewashed village known for its cobbled streets and traditional Andalusian architecture. The property sits 2.5 kilometres from Mijas village centre, where you'll find local restaurants, artisan shops, and the town's historic bullring. The coast lies approximately 7 kilometres south, reachable via the A-387 road that connects the mountain communities to the beaches and marinas of Fuengirola.

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