About this property
Overview
Studio-bedroom apartment with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. The elevated position delivers unobstructed views across the Mediterranean, visible from the main living space and private terrace where the horizon stretches towards Gibraltar on clear days.
The 43sqm interior combines sleeping, living and dining areas in one open-plan layout, with a separate bathroom and a compact fitted kitchen equipped with integrated appliances. Full-height glass doors open onto a south-facing terrace measuring approximately 8sqm, extending the usable space outdoors for most of the year. The apartment comes fully furnished with contemporary pieces selected for space efficiency, and includes one allocated parking space in the underground garage. A valid tourist licence accompanies the sale, permitting short-term holiday rentals under current Andalusian regulations.
Algaida Urbanization sits directly on the Coastal Path, a paved walking and cycling route connecting Calahonda to neighbouring beaches in both directions. The communal pool and landscaped gardens occupy the central courtyard, accessible from ground level. Calahonda commercial centre lies 400 metres uphill, where supermarkets, banks and restaurants cluster around a small plaza served by the L-82 bus route to Fuengirola. Cabopino Marina sits 3km east along the coast road, reachable in six minutes by car or twenty minutes on foot via the seafront promenade.

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