About this property
Overview
Seven-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Torrox, Costa del Sol. This detached Andalusian property sits on a 5,569sqm plot planted with mature olive and fig trees, commanding panoramic views across the whitewashed villages of Frigiliana and Nerja to the Andalusian mountains beyond. The 546sqm main house divides into two connected wings, each with its own entrance and living spaces.
The first wing features a living room with working fireplace opening onto a covered terrace, a ground-floor study adjoining a conservatory room, and a separate kitchen. The second wing mirrors this layout with additional living and dining areas. Five bathrooms serve the seven bedrooms distributed across both sections. A 100sqm terrace runs along the south-facing elevation, providing outdoor dining space with direct garden access. The property includes one covered parking space and a private swimming pool set within the landscaped grounds. Part-furnished throughout, the villa retains original 1997 features including terracotta floor tiles and exposed wooden ceiling beams.
Torrox sits 4km inland from Torrox Costa beach, a 7-minute drive down the winding access road that connects the hillside properties to the coastal N-340. The town centre provides daily markets, tapas bars, and a weekly farmers' market on Thursdays. Nerja's Balcón de Europa viewpoint lies 12km east, approximately 18 minutes by car along the coastal route. The elevated position at 180 metres above sea level means the approach road climbs steeply through terraced farmland, with the final 400 metres on a single-track lane shared with three neighbouring properties.

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