About this place
Located in Villanueva de Tapia in the province of Malaga, this corner townhouse is distributed over two floors and features five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The ground floor is currently configured as an open plan commercial unit, complete with a bathroom and an office area, but can easily be transformed to accommodate two bedrooms, a living area, and a kitchen.
Adjacent to the commercial space is a large garage offering ample storage and parking for a sizeable vehicle. The design allows for internal connection to the upper first floor, which can also be accessed directly from the exterior due to its corner position. The first floor is presently an open plan space with a terrace, designed to be divided into a desirable home with the potential for three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, storage, and a living room.
Villanueva de Tapia is set in a rural environment known for agriculture and is conveniently located just one hour from the cities of Málaga and Granada. The village provides essential shopping and services, while larger towns such as Archidona and Loja offer a broader range of amenities. Additionally, both floors are registered as independent properties, allowing for the option of separate purchase.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
