About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. This south-facing property underwent comprehensive renovation just one year ago, transforming the kitchen, bathroom, and flooring throughout its 47 square metres of living space. The separate bedroom features a full-width built-in wardrobe and opens directly onto a spacious terrace that captures views across the town to the sea beyond, whilst hot and cold air conditioning plus remote-controlled ceiling fans in both the living room and bedroom ensure year-round comfort.
The layout separates sleeping and living areas effectively, with the renovated kitchen offering modern fixtures and the bathroom finished to a contemporary standard. Full furnishings are included in the sale, making this immediately habitable as either a permanent residence or holiday home. One allocated parking space comes with the property, and the terrace's south-facing orientation maximises natural light throughout the day. Storage is generous for a one-bedroom property, with the bedroom wardrobe providing ample space alongside typical apartment cupboards.
The residential complex centres around a recently renovated communal swimming pool, whilst Torremolinos town centre sits approximately 1.5 kilometres away with its concentration of restaurants, shops, and transport links. The property's elevated position within Torremolinos places it within a 10-minute drive of Málaga Airport, and the nearest beaches lie roughly 2 kilometres downhill. The complex itself maintains well-kept communal areas with the pool as its focal amenity, and the building dates from 1973 with ongoing maintenance keeping it in excellent overall condition.

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