FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of properties are available in Costalita?
Costalita is a master-planned community composed of several distinct phases. The properties are known for their quality construction and timeless design. The main types include:
- Apartments and Penthouses: This is the predominant property type in Costalita. You can find a range of sizes, from one-bedroom apartments to spacious three or four-bedroom penthouses. Many offer sea views, and ground-floor units typically have private terraces with direct access to the communal gardens.
- Townhouses: There are also townhouses within the community, offering more living space over multiple floors, often with private patios or rooftop solariums.
- Bungalows/Attached Villas: Some phases include larger, semi-detached bungalow-style properties that offer a more villa-like feel while still being part of the community.
Properties are almost exclusively resale, reflecting the established and mature nature of the urbanisation.
What is the average price range for homes in Costalita?
As a prime beachside community on the New Golden Mile, Costalita holds its value well. Prices are influenced by the specific phase, floor level, condition, and proximity to the sea. As of mid-2025, you can expect the following approximate price ranges:
- 2-Bedroom Apartments: €350,000 – €800,000+. The lower end represents garden-view apartments, while the higher end is for refurbished, sea-view, or frontline beach units.
- Penthouses & Townhouses: €600,000 – €1,200,000+

Can non-EU citizens buy property in Costalita?
Yes, absolutely. There are no restrictions on property ownership in Spain based on nationality. The buying process is identical for Spanish citizens, EU citizens, and non-EU citizens alike.
The Spanish "Golden Visa" program is a highly relevant option for buyers in Costalita, as many properties meet or exceed the €500,000 investment threshold required to apply for a residency permit.
What additional costs should I budget for besides the purchase price?
It is essential to budget an additional 10% to 14% of the purchase price to cover all taxes and fees. As properties in Costalita are almost entirely resale, the main tax to consider is the Property Transfer Tax (ITP).
- Property Transfer Tax (ITP - Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales): In Andalusia, this is a flat rate of 7% of the purchase price.
- Notary Fees: Approximately €800 – €2,000, depending on the property value.
- Land Registry Fees: Approximately €600 – €2,000.
- Legal Fees: Typically 1% of the purchase price (+ 21% VAT on the fee).
Is financing available?
Yes, Spanish banks provide mortgages to non-resident buyers.
- Loan-to-Value (LTV): As a non-resident, you can generally borrow up to 60-70% of the bank's valuation or the purchase price, whichever is lower.
- Application Process: You will need to provide comprehensive financial documentation, including proof of income (payslips, tax returns), a credit report from your home country, and recent bank statements.
What are typical community fees?
For developments with shared facilities (pools, gardens, gyms), expect €60 – €200 per month, depending on amenities and property size.
What’s the buying timeline?
From making an offer to getting keys in hand typically takes 6–10 weeks, assuming financing and paperwork proceed smoothly.
Any tips for first-time buyers?
- Visit in different seasons to gauge climate and community.
- Budget a 10 % contingency for unexpected costs.
- Hire an independent lawyer (abogado) to review contracts.
- Consider resale potential—properties with sea views and proximity to golf often hold value best.
What are the best places to buy properties on the Costa del Sol?
From the luxury villas of Marbella and the marina-side glamour of Puerto Banús, to the charming old town of Estepona and the family-friendly beaches of Mijas Costa (with strong rental yields), plus the tranquil, value-priced hillside villages of Benahavís, Casares, Sotogrande and Manilva.
