Buying a property in Mijas? English-speaking estate agent Mijas

Mijas is the only municipality on the Costa del Sol that combines an iconic white mountain village (Mijas Pueblo at 428 metres) with 12 kilometres of coastline. The municipality is also home to three golf resorts, including La Cala Resort, the largest in Europe, and offers an exceptional variety of residential settings: from authentically Andalusian in the Pueblo to internationally residential in Calahonda. WeSellHomes.es has properties across the entire Mijas municipality, from Las Lagunas to El Chaparral.

Yes. The fundamentals are strong: scarce building land, a 16.8% annual price rise and strong international demand. Mijas Costa and La Cala de Mijas have an excellent rental profile thanks to golf tourism and proximity to the beach. The long season (active letting from April to October) and the short distance to Málaga Airport (25 min) make the returns attractive. We prepare a return calculation for each property.

For resale properties, 7% ITP; for new builds, 10% VAT (IVA) plus 1.2% stamp duty (AJD). In both cases, notary fees, land registry and legal assistance come on top. Total: 10-12% (resale) or 12-13% (new build) on top of the purchase price. We prepare a transparent cost breakdown for each property in advance, so you know the total investment with no surprises.

Long-term letting to expats or local tenants is always possible without an extra licence. We check the community statutes for each property in advance.

IBI €350–€2,000 per year (depending on area and property size), community fees for apartments €60–€350 per month, buildings insurance and possibly IRNR for non-residents.
