Cerros del Águila, Mijas · Malaga
2 Bed2 Bath109 m²Energy: G
Description
At 145 m2 of built space, this ground-floor new-build apartment in Hipódromo-Cerrado del Águila is one of the larger 2-bedroom units available in this part of Mijas. The building has 3 floors in total, and the ground-floor position gives direct access without using a lift. Both bedrooms are served by a dedicated bathroom, and air conditioning is fitted throughout. The development carries a current energy rating of G.Hipódromo-Cerrado del Águila sits within the Mijas Costa belt, close to the A-7 coastal road that connects Fuengirola to the west and Marbella to the south-west. The area takes its name from the former racecourse site and has grown steadily as a residential zone with a mix of local amenities along Avenida del Hipódromo. Distances to the beach, supermarkets, and nearby golf courses have not been confirmed by the agent and should be requested before viewing. Málaga AGP airport is approximately 20 minutes by car, making Hipódromo-Cerrado del Águila a practical base for frequent flyers or short-stay owners.Community fees are currently set at zero, which is notably low for a new-build development of this type; buyers should confirm whether this reflects a promotional period or the long-term figure. Annual IBI has not yet been assessed for this property and the agent should be asked to provide an estimate based on the catastral value once assigned. Given the 20-minute drive to Málaga AGP and the proximity to the Costa del Sol tourist corridor, the apartment may suit a short-term rental strategy, though rental licensing requirements in Andalucía apply and should be verified with a local solicitor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. On top of those taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. These are rates only — your solicitor will give you exact figures once the final price is agreed. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence) — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the exact rate depends on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident Spanish purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at zero per year; buyers should confirm directly with the developer whether this will remain the case once the development is fully handed over. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit — ask the agent for an estimate based on the expected catastral value. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been provided and should be requested from the developer or the local municipality.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which allow you to tour the apartment or show-home unit in real time via a video call with one of our agents on site. This is particularly useful for buyers travelling from abroad who want to shortlist properties before committing to a trip. Contact us to arrange a time that suits your schedule.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
The 20-minute drive to Málaga AGP and the apartment's position within the Costa del Sol tourist corridor mean there is demand for short-term holiday lets in this area. However, rental licensing in Andalucía is a legal requirement for tourist rentals, and the local municipality must approve the property for that use. We recommend speaking with a local solicitor about obtaining a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind. We do not quote projected yields as these vary significantly with management costs, occupancy rates, and seasonal demand.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) where a larger deposit, usually 10% of the price, is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. For new builds, there may be a stage-payment structure tied to construction milestones — your solicitor will advise on this.
