Buying a new build in Torremolinos? English-speaking estate agent in Torremolinos

Torremolinos offers something Marbella and Estepona do not have: a direct Cercanías train link to the international airport in around 10 minutes and to Málaga city centre in around 20 minutes. That makes the town exceptionally practical both as a permanent home and as an investment property. New-build prices are on average 20 to 35% lower than comparable developments in Marbella, while the quality of finish and facilities is equivalent.

For a new build in Andalusia you pay 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty), notary fees and land registry registration. In total, allow 12 to 13% in additional costs on top of the property price. At WeSellHomes.es you receive a transparent cost overview for each development before you decide, including community fees and an IBI estimate.

Torremolinos has one of the longest tourist seasons on the Costa del Sol, thanks in part to its mild climate and proximity to the airport. Developments within walking distance of the beach, particularly in La Carihuela and Playamar, generate rental income from May through October, and increasingly in the winter months too. For holiday lets you need an RTA licence, which can only be applied for after completion.

Studios and one-bedroom apartments start from around €212,000 in the more residential zones. Two- and three-bedroom apartments generally range from €270,000 to €640,000. Luxury beach developments and penthouses on the Paseo Marítimo can exceed €1,300,000. Prices have risen by an average of 15 to 20% in recent years, so getting in early on an off-plan development remains financially attractive.

For most off-plan developments you pay in three stages. Stage one: a reservation of €3,000 to €10,000. Stage two: 20 to 30% of the purchase price during construction, split into instalments. Stage three: the remaining amount plus additional costs at the key handover. Mortgage financing is usually only arranged at completion. WeSellHomes.es makes sure every payment is contractually protected.

Yes, but beachfront developments are rare and sell out quickly. La Carihuela occasionally has new builds close to the beach, as do the Paseo Marítimo and the Los Álamos area. These developments combine sea views with facilities such as rooftop terraces and swimming pools. Because of their scarcity, prices are 25 to 40% higher than for developments a 5 to 10-minute walk away. We will be the first to let you know when a new beach development is launched.

For off-plan developments, allow an average of 18 to 30 months. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common in the Spanish building sector and are often stated as a contractual margin. Turnkey new builds, where the home has already been built, are sometimes ready to move into within 2 to 3 months. WeSellHomes.es works exclusively with developers with a demonstrable track record in Torremolinos.

Yes, but the terms differ from a mortgage in your home country. If you are not tax resident, a Spanish bank will generally finance up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price or valuation: you contribute at least 30 to 40% of your own funds, on top of the additional costs. For off-plan purchases, you apply for the mortgage around the expected completion date. Through WeSellHomes.es you get a free mortgage check with English-speaking advisers.

Four checkpoints are essential: the validity of the Licencia de Obras (building licence), the bank guarantee on your deposit for off-plan purchases, fair termination clauses in case of delays, and the issue of the Licencia de Primera Ocupación at completion; this certificate of occupancy is required for utility connections and a rental licence. WeSellHomes.es works with established English-speaking partner lawyers who check this as standard.
