NT Gestión Inmobiliaria Launches Its Property Personal Shopper Service in Málaga

15/10/2026

NT Gestión Inmobiliaria Launches Its Property Personal Shopper Service in Málaga

Buying a property is an important decision that requires time, planning and a good understanding of the local market. Constantly checking property websites, comparing locations, arranging viewings and reviewing the conditions of each property can make the search complicated, particularly for buyers who live outside Málaga or have limited time available.

To make this process easier, NT Gestión Inmobiliaria is launching its Property Personal Shopper service in Málaga, offering personalised assistance to buyers who want to find a property suited to their needs and receive professional support throughout the transaction.

In addition, buyers will not have to pay the usual real estate agency fees associated with purchasing a property. The conditions and scope of the service will be explained clearly before the search begins.

A service focused on the buyer

Every buyer has different priorities. A family may need a spacious home in a residential area, while another client may be looking for an apartment near the sea, a second home or a property with investment potential.

The service begins with an initial meeting to define the main search criteria:

  • Available budget.
  • Preferred areas or municipalities.
  • Type and approximate size of the property.
  • Number of bedrooms.
  • Family or professional requirements.
  • Preferences regarding terraces, gardens, parking or communal areas.
  • Desired condition of the property.
  • Expected timeframe for completing the purchase.

This information allows us to establish realistic criteria and focus on properties that genuinely match the buyer’s requirements.

What does a Property Personal Shopper do?

A Property Personal Shopper is a professional who helps the buyer search for, assess and compare properties. The service goes beyond simply sending property listings: its purpose is to support the client throughout the different stages of the search and provide the information needed to make a well-informed decision.

Searching and filtering properties. NT Gestión Inmobiliaria reviews the available market and prepares an initial selection based on the client’s needs. Location, property type, apparent condition, advertised price and requested features are all taken into consideration.

This filtering process saves buyers from spending time on properties that do not meet their essential requirements. If their priorities change, the search criteria can also be adjusted.

Arranging and attending viewings. Once suitable properties have been identified, viewings are organised and the relevant information is gathered in advance.

A viewing should consider more than first impressions. The layout, state of repair, characteristics of the building or plot and relevant aspects of the surrounding area should also be examined. Professional support helps the buyer ask the right questions and identify matters requiring further investigation.

Comparing the available options. After visiting several properties, it can be difficult to remember their differences or assess them objectively. The Property Personal Shopper helps compare the options using the priorities established at the beginning of the search.

The purpose is not to make the decision for the client, but to provide context so that the client can choose with greater clarity.

Support during negotiations. Once the right property has been found, negotiations can begin. NT Gestión Inmobiliaria can help assess the situation and present a reasonable proposal.

Any result will depend on the property, current market conditions and the position of both parties. Consequently, no particular discount or outcome can be guaranteed.

No usual real estate agency fee for the buyer

One of the main advantages of this service is that the buyer will not have to pay the usual fees that some real estate agencies charge when purchasing a property.

Before the search begins, NT Gestión Inmobiliaria will clearly explain how the Property Personal Shopper service works, what assistance is included and which conditions apply.

The client will therefore know from the outset how the service will be provided, without unexpected property purchase intermediation fees arising during the process.

Much more than searching online listings

Finding an attractive property is only the beginning. Before signing a contract or paying any money, buyers should understand the conditions of the transaction and ensure that the relevant documentation has been reviewed.

The Property Personal Shopper service can be coordinated with the real estate and legal advisory services offered by NT Gestión Inmobiliaria. This integrated approach connects the property search, viewings, negotiation and preparation of the sale and purchase transaction.

Depending on the property and the circumstances, land registry, planning, contractual or tax matters may need to be examined. These checks should be carried out individually by the appropriate professionals before the buyer signs documents or assumes financial commitments.

Particularly helpful for international buyers

Buying a property from another country can raise questions about distance, language, documentation and the differences between legal systems.

The Property Personal Shopper service allows international clients to organise their search before travelling to Spain. Preparing a selection in advance helps buyers plan their viewings and concentrate on properties that meet the agreed criteria.

NT Gestión Inmobiliaria also provides an integrated real estate, legal advisory and translation service. International clients can receive assistance in Spanish or Finnish when required, making the documentation and stages of the transaction easier to understand.

Every purchase must be assessed individually, and any legal or tax information that may change should be verified before a decision is made.

A personalised search in Málaga and the Costa del Sol

The province of Málaga offers very different residential environments. Málaga city may appeal to buyers looking for urban life, culture and convenient services. The Costa del Sol provides alternatives for those interested in living near the sea in an international setting.

Municipalities in the Guadalhorce Valley, including Alhaurín de la Torre, Alhaurín el Grande, Cártama and Coín, can also suit buyers seeking a residential environment, greater contact with nature or more spacious properties.

The search will focus on the locations that best match each client’s budget, lifestyle and requirements, always subject to actual market availability.

How can you begin your property search?

The first step is to tell our team what type of property you need, where you would like it to be located and which requirements are essential.

Based on this information, NT Gestión Inmobiliaria can establish the criteria, assess the assignment and prepare a personalised property search.

If you are considering buying a property in Málaga, the Costa del Sol or the Guadalhorce Valley, contact NT Gestión Inmobiliaria. Our team can help you search, compare and manage your future purchase, with real estate guidance, legal advice and assistance in Spanish or Finnish.

New rental decrees in 2026: what changes for landlords and tenants

08/10/2026

 

 

 

Current status: Royal Decree-Law 29/2026 has been in force since 8 October 2026. Royal Decree-Law 28/2026 has been published, but is scheduled to enter into force on 15 November 2026. Both decree-laws are awaiting parliamentary ratification.

Royal Decree-Laws 29/2026 and 28/2026 introduce important changes to residential renting in Spain. They affect contract extensions, notice periods, possible compensation for tenants, temporary tenancies, room rentals and rent reviews. Their application depends on the date and purpose of the contract, its expiry date and whether the property is in a designated stressed housing market area.

What is already in force, and what changes on 15 November

RDL 29/2026 generally takes effect from 8 October, although its continued validity depends on parliamentary ratification.

For now, the ordinary extension system continues with annual extensions for up to three years after the minimum five-year term, or seven years if the landlord is a legal entity. The general notice period is four months for the landlord and two months for the tenant.

If RDL 28/2026 remains effective and enters into force on 15 November, the new extensions will be for successive periods of five or seven years, and the landlord’s notice period will increase to six months. Anyone already within an annual extension under the previous rules must first complete that annual period.

Extensions are not automatically added together

RDL 29/2026 allows tenants to request an extraordinary extension in annual periods, for up to two years, for certain habitual-residence tenancy agreements in force on 8 October. The tenant must be up to date with rent and must have paid monthly during the previous eight months.

The measure does not in itself require the tenant to be vulnerable or the landlord to be a large property holder. The landlord must accept the request unless the parties agree otherwise, enter into a new contract, there is a genuine and documented need for the dwelling, or they agree to a renewal with rent at least 5% lower.

The extension of up to three years in a stressed housing market area takes precedence. The extraordinary two-year extension also does not replace an ordinary five- or seven-year renewal where that renewal applies.

Example: extension requested by a tenant

A tenant covered by this measure who is up to date with payments may request up to two additional annual periods, even if the landlord owns only one property. If the tenant qualifies for the three-year extension in a stressed housing market area, that extension takes precedence: the two protections are not cumulative.

Non-renewal and compensation under the new rules

From the planned commencement of RDL 28/2026, a landlord’s notice of non-renewal may give rise to compensation. The amounts to compare are twelve months at the upper value of the individualised range under the state reference system and one month at that value for each year the tenant has lived in the property. If no individualised value is available, the current rent is used.

Exceptions include a genuine need for the dwelling by an individual landlord or certain relatives, the tenant having another suitable dwelling in the same municipality, a new tenancy agreement or rejection of a valid offer. The reason must be detailed in writing. Valid notices given before 7 October retain their effect and do not give rise to this compensation.

Example: indicative compensation calculation

With an upper reference value of €1,200 and eight years of residence, the amounts compared would be €14,400 and €9,600. In this illustrative case, the higher amount would apply: €14,400.

Temporary tenancies and room rentals

A temporary tenancy must be based on a justified reason, stated in the agreement and capable of being substantiated by the landlord. It must last more than 31 days and generally no more than twelve months, unless the reason continues and can be substantiated.

Exceeding that period without justification, or entering into more than two consecutive temporary contracts between the same parties for the same property, may trigger the habitual-residence tenancy regime from the first contract. Calling it a “student tenancy” or setting a term of eleven months is not sufficient.

Genuine temporary contracts entered into before 8 October retain their existing regime until the agreed expiry date; any renewal must comply with the new requirements. For room rentals, the combined rent charged simultaneously must not exceed the rent applicable to the whole dwelling.

How rent can now be reviewed

An annual rent review requires an express contractual clause and takes place on the contract anniversary. If the clause does not specify an index or calculation method, the latest published IRAV is used. This index limits the percentage increase; the state reference system determines rent amounts. They are not the same thing.

Between 8 October 2026 and 31 December 2027, rent above the applicable maximum reference amount cannot be increased, but does not have to be automatically reduced either. In other cases, the parties may reach a new agreement; failing that, the increase cannot exceed 2%, always respecting any stricter applicable limit.

Example: annual rent review

With rent of €1,000, a clause linked to a 3% index, a hypothetical IRAV of 1.8%, and no new agreement, the maximum increase would be €18 per month. If the rent already exceeded the applicable maximum reference amount, no increase would be allowed.

Costs, deposits, additional guarantees and repairs

Property management, preparation, execution, amendment and renewal of the contract are costs borne by the landlord; they cannot be passed on to the tenant under another name. The statutory deposit for a residential tenancy remains one month’s rent. An additional guarantee may not exceed two months’ rent for a habitual-residence tenancy of up to five or seven years, or one month for a temporary tenancy. Nor may the tenant be required to pay for the landlord’s rent-default insurance.

A procedure is established for certain necessary repairs. Before offsetting their cost against future rent, the required notice, deadlines and documentary evidence must be complied with.

There are also tax changes

RDL 29/2026 changes landlords’ tax reductions for habitual-residence rentals and introduces a national tax deduction for certain tenants. As the percentages, thresholds and effective dates depend on several conditions, individual assessment is advisable.

Which documents should be reviewed?

Before renewing, reviewing the rent or ending a tenancy, it is advisable to gather the agreement and annexes, relevant dates, notices and proof of receipt, payment records, the reason for any temporary tenancy, the rent history and information on any designation as a stressed housing market area.

Different transitional rules may apply to different cases. NT Gestión Inmobiliaria can review the documentation and provide real estate, legal and Spanish–Finnish translation support so landlords and tenants can make better-informed decisions.

What international buyers look for when buying a home on the Costa del Sol

03/10/2026

What international buyers look for when buying a home on the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol has attracted buyers from many different countries for decades, but gaining their attention takes more than sunshine, beaches and good photography. Anyone considering a purchase from abroad will usually compare locations, costs, transport links and documentation before deciding whether to travel to view a property.

The scale of this market calls for a specific strategy. In the first quarter of 2026, foreign buyers accounted for 34.30% of registered home purchases in the province of Málaga, according to the Spanish Association of Property Registrars. This does not mean that every buyer is looking for the same kind of home, but it does confirm that international demand plays a significant role in the province.

What, then, can an owner do to make their property clear and appealing to this audience? The answer lies in presenting what the home genuinely offers and reducing uncertainty throughout the process.

There is no single international buyer profile

A family looking for a permanent home, a couple planning to spend part of the year in Málaga and an investor assessing potential returns all start with different objectives. Their priorities also vary according to budget, country of residence and prior knowledge of the area.

For this reason, generic claims such as “ideal for foreign buyers” should be avoided. Effective marketing identifies the property’s genuine advantages and explains which types of use they may suit, without promising results or presenting preferences as universal.

What helps an international buyer make a decision

A location explained in context

The name of a development or neighbourhood may not be enough for someone living outside Spain. It is useful to provide approximate distances to services, the beach, healthcare, schools, public transport or golf courses when those details are accurate and relevant to the property.

Connectivity also helps buyers understand a location. Aena currently lists 158 destinations served by 60 airlines from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. In such a well-connected market, a realistic explanation of airport access may be more valuable than a vague description such as “well connected”.

Outdoor space and a home suited to year-round living

Terraces, patios, gardens and swimming pools can set a home apart, but they should be described using available facts about size, orientation, privacy, condition and terms of use. A wide-angle photograph of a terrace is not a substitute for an accurate explanation.

Comfort outside the summer season also matters. Air conditioning, insulation, ventilation, natural light, storage and the condition of the installations all help a buyer assess whether the home will work throughout the year. Only verified features should be highlighted.

Clear running and maintenance costs

When buyers are unfamiliar with how an owners’ association, or comunidad de propietarios, operates in Spain, missing information can create uncertainty. Verified details about community fees, utilities, the upkeep of shared areas and any agreed special assessments make it easier to compare the property with confidence.

These amounts should be presented with their relevant time period and without improvised estimates. If the development offers services such as a concierge, security, garden maintenance or a communal pool, it is important to explain exactly what is included.

Visual information that answers questions

Images are often the buyer’s first contact with a property. Professional photography should show the layout, the relationship between rooms and the actual views, as well as attractive details. Extreme wide-angle lenses, excessive retouching or concealing relevant areas may create a striking first impression, but can weaken trust when the viewing takes place.

A clear floor plan, a logically structured video tour and a virtual viewing can support an initial selection from abroad. They are particularly useful when they complement, and do not contradict, the documented floor area and layout.

Prepared documentation and a transparent process

Trust is also built beyond the photographs. Before marketing begins, it is advisable to review the Land Registry status, cadastral reference, energy performance certificate and owners’ association documents, together with any planning matters that could affect the transaction.

The Spanish public administration notes that a nota simple, or Land Registry extract, provides preliminary information held by the Property Registry. Every transaction has its own circumstances, however, and legal, tax or financial checks should be handled by appropriately qualified professionals.

Clear communication before and after the viewing

Buying from another country introduces practical considerations such as language, time differences, travel, representation and coordination between professionals. Prompt replies, consistent figures in every language and a clear explanation of the next steps help reduce unnecessary friction.

Translations should be natural and precise. Floor area, price, reference number, costs and equipment must match across every version of the listing. A seemingly minor discrepancy can create doubt at the very moment a buyer is deciding whether to request a viewing.

How to prepare a property for the international market

Before publishing the listing, the owner and their estate agency can work through a straightforward, verifiable preparation process:

Set an asking price supported by current comparable evidence and the property’s actual characteristics.

Gather Land Registry, cadastral, energy and owners’ association documentation before an offer is received.

Organise and present the rooms so that the layout is easy to understand in both photographs and video.

Write a specific description using verified distances and features, without empty superlatives.

Keep figures, terms and essential details consistent across all languages and channels.

Prepare an efficient system for enquiries, in-person or remote viewings and subsequent follow-up.

Mistakes that can undermine trust

An appealing property can lose impact when information is incomplete or difficult to verify. Common mistakes to avoid include:

Advertising distances or views without checking them.

Confusing usable floor area, built area and plot size.

Omitting relevant community costs or failing to state the period they cover.

Publishing images that distort the size of the property or conceal its actual condition.

Using machine translations without checking names, figures and property terminology.

Starting the marketing process without knowing which documents are available.

Frequently asked questions

Is it necessary to advertise the property in several languages?

It is advisable when the strategy targets several markets. The aim is not to accumulate languages, but to provide professional versions that remain consistent with the original listing.

Does a virtual viewing replace an in-person visit?

Not necessarily. It can support an initial decision, prevent unnecessary travel and help prepare for a later visit, but each buyer will decide how much verification they need before moving forward.

Does every Costa del Sol property attract international demand?

No. Demand depends on the location, property type, price, condition, running costs and how the home is presented. A professional valuation helps identify the appropriate audience and define a realistic strategy.

An international sale begins with clarity

International buyers may value the Costa del Sol lifestyle, but they make decisions about a specific property. The more clearly its location, condition, costs, documentation and possible uses are explained, the easier it is to distinguish casual interest from a qualified enquiry.

For the owner, the key is not to embellish the listing, but to prepare both the property and the transaction so they can be understood from anywhere. This combination of presentation, accuracy and professional guidance is what builds trust.

Does this mean that any property can be sold at a high price?

21/09/2026

Does this mean that any property can be sold at a high price?

Not necessarily.

One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is setting the asking price of their property based solely on the prices they see advertised on property portals.

However, the advertised price and the actual selling price are not the same thing.

To determine an appropriate market value, several factors should be taken into account, including:

  • location and the specific area;
  • size and layout;
  • condition of the property;
  • floor level and whether the building has a lift;
  • terrace, orientation and views;
  • parking and communal areas;
  • legal and Land Registry status;
  • supply of comparable properties;
  • current demand;
  • and comparable transactions.

A property that enters the market at an excessively high price may remain advertised for months and eventually lose its appeal to potential buyers.

By contrast, a correctly defined pricing strategy can increase the chances of attracting serious interest from the very first weeks of marketing.

So, is now a good time to sell?

Current figures show a market with high property prices but some moderation in the number of transactions.

Rather than trying to predict the perfect moment to sell, it is therefore essential to understand the actual market value of your property and the level of demand for that particular type of property in its specific location.

Even two properties located in the same town can perform very differently on the market.

Are you thinking of selling your property?

At NT Gestión Inmobiliaria, we assess each property individually.

We analyse its characteristics, location, competing properties and current market conditions in order to establish an appropriate marketing and pricing strategy.

If you own a property in Málaga, Alhaurín de la Torre, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola or elsewhere on the Costa del Sol and are considering selling, we would be happy to discuss your situation with you.

Living, buying or selling property in Alhaurín de la Torre: 2026 guide

28/08/2026

Living, buying or selling property in Alhaurín de la Torre: 2026 guide

Alhaurín de la Torre is one of the most attractive residential choices in the Málaga metropolitan area for people seeking more space, a quieter setting and convenient access to Málaga city, Málaga Airport and the Costa del Sol. Its property market includes apartments, townhouses, semi-detached homes and detached villas with private plots.

The short answer is that Alhaurín de la Torre can be an excellent place to live and buy property, particularly for families, professionals and international residents who value a residential environment without being isolated from Málaga. However, it is not one uniform housing market. The exact location, plot, condition, planning status and access of a property can have a major effect on both its value and suitability.

In this local guide, NT Gestión Inmobiliaria explains the municipality's main residential areas, current asking-price trends and the checks buyers and sellers should carry out before committing to a transaction.

What is it like to live in Alhaurín de la Torre?

Alhaurín de la Torre has more than 42,000 residents and forms part of the wider Málaga metropolitan area. It has developed around an established town centre, numerous residential urbanisations and several outlying neighbourhoods and rural settlements.

One of its strongest advantages is the balance between residential quality of life and access to major employment, education and leisure areas. Many residents travel to Málaga, the airport district, the Guadalhorce area or the coast while choosing to live in a home with more indoor and outdoor space.

Common reasons for choosing Alhaurín de la Torre include:

  • A wide selection of detached homes, townhouses and properties with private plots.

  • Convenient access to Málaga city, Málaga Airport and coastal towns.

  • Local shops, schools, sports facilities and municipal services.

  • A family-friendly residential environment with opportunities for outdoor living.

  • A choice between a walkable town-centre lifestyle, established urbanisations and quieter semi-rural locations.

Public transport includes metropolitan bus services to Málaga. The M-169 and M-170 Bus-Metro routes provide connections with the Málaga Metro network, while the M-169 also calls at the airport railway station. Buyers who expect to rely on public transport should always check the current route, timetable and distance from the property before deciding on an area.

Best areas to buy property in Alhaurín de la Torre

There is no single best neighbourhood for every buyer. The right choice depends on whether the priority is having services within walking distance, easier access towards Málaga, a larger plot, privacy or public transport.

Town centre, Fuensanguinea, Carranque and El Limón

The centre is practical for buyers who want shops, restaurants, services and local facilities nearby. The housing stock is varied and may include apartments, traditional town houses, townhouses and detached homes.

This area can suit people who prefer day-to-day convenience and less dependence on a car. Before buying, it is still important to consider the condition of the building or house, parking arrangements and any planned works in the immediate surroundings.

In 2025, the Town Council approved an Integrated Action Plan intended to revitalise the historic centre. This is a relevant public initiative to monitor, but an announced or approved investment should never be treated as a guarantee of future property appreciation.

Retamar, Santa Clara and Capellanía

These are well-established residential areas with a variety of detached, semi-detached and terraced homes. They often appeal to families looking for a residential setting with reasonable access to local services and the main routes out of the municipality.

Even within the same urbanisation, value can vary according to the street, gradient, orientation, noise, plot size and condition of the property. Two homes with apparently similar floor areas may therefore achieve very different market prices.

Pinos de Alhaurín

Pinos de Alhaurín is a popular reference point for buyers seeking detached villas, private plots and greater privacy. It may be particularly attractive to those looking for a garden, swimming pool or generous outdoor space.

With this type of property, buyers should pay close attention to plot maintenance, access, gradients and consistency between the Property Registry, Cadastre and the physical reality. Extensions, covered terraces, pools, basements and outbuildings should all be checked before signing a reservation or deposit agreement.

El Lagar, Cortijos del Sol, Manantiales and Viñagrande

These locations form part of the municipality's established residential fabric and include different types of detached, semi-detached and terraced homes. They can appeal to buyers seeking a family environment without moving too far from the town centre.

Every property should be assessed individually. Road access, street width, parking, orientation, energy efficiency and refurbishment requirements may be just as important as the advertised floor area.

Torrealquería, El Romeral, La Alquería and outlying areas

The more peripheral and semi-rural parts of the municipality may offer larger plots and a different lifestyle from that of a conventional urbanisation. Alhaurín de la Torre also includes neighbourhoods such as Zapata, El Peñón, Santa Amalia and Mestanza, each with a distinct position in relation to roads and services.

If a property is on rural land or in a dispersed settlement, its individual planning position requires careful investigation. Electricity, water and a cadastral reference do not, by themselves, prove that every building is fully compliant. Buyers should verify the land classification, licences, age and status of all structures, access rights and boundaries.

Alhaurín de la Torre property prices in 2026

Asking-price indicators show a rising market during 2026. In August, Fotocasa placed the municipality's average advertised price at €2,741 per square metre, representing an annual increase of 13.5%. The latest figure available from idealista, for July, was €2,676 per square metre, up 10.9% year on year.

These figures are useful for identifying the overall direction of the market, but they are not completed sale prices. They are averages based on advertised properties and may vary according to the listings available on each portal.

It is also unreliable to value a detached villa simply by multiplying its built area by the municipal average. In Alhaurín de la Torre, the following factors can materially affect value:

  • The residential area, exact street and ease of access.

  • The size, shape, gradient and usability of the plot.

  • Condition, specifications and quality of any refurbishment.

  • Swimming pool, garden, parking and ancillary buildings.

  • Orientation, views, privacy and noise exposure.

  • Energy efficiency and expected maintenance costs.

  • Consistency between the title deed, Property Registry, Cadastre and physical property.

  • Planning status and evidence of the relevant licences.

  • Genuine comparable supply and active demand within the micro-location.

A professional valuation should compare genuinely similar homes, adjust for their differences and consider both competing listings and the price level that active buyers are prepared to support.

What should buyers check before purchasing a house?

Buying a detached or semi-detached property requires more than agreeing a price and viewing the interior. Before making a financial commitment, buyers should examine at least the following points:

  1. Ownership and charges. Obtain an up-to-date Land Registry extract to identify the registered owners, mortgages, attachments, easements or other restrictions.

  2. Areas and structures. Compare the title deed, Property Registry, Cadastre and the actual layout and buildings on the plot.

  3. Planning position. Check the land classification, licences and the status of extensions, pools, covered terraces, basements and outbuildings.

  4. Debts and running costs. Review local property tax, community fees where applicable, utilities and any approved special assessments.

  5. Technical condition. Consider the structure, damp, roofs, installations, retaining walls, drainage, pool and energy efficiency.

  6. Finance and valuation. If a mortgage is required, structure the agreement carefully and establish whether the property is acceptable security in its present documented condition.

  7. The real surroundings. Visit at different times and assess traffic, noise, gradient, parking, transport links and realistic journey times.

The age of a structure, or the expiry of an enforcement period, does not automatically mean that it is fully regularised. Where any doubt exists, buyers should obtain appropriate independent technical and legal advice before paying a reservation or deposit.

How to sell property in Alhaurín de la Torre

An effective sale starts with evidence, not with the highest asking price found online. Overpricing may reduce interest during the crucial first weeks, lengthen the marketing period and eventually lead to reductions that weaken a property's market position.

A professional sales strategy should include:

  • A valuation based on the specific micro-location, property type and condition.

  • Early preparation of the title deed, Land Registry information, Cadastre, local tax receipt, energy certificate and planning documents.

  • Review of any differences in floor area or undocumented structures.

  • Professional photography, video, floor plan and an accurate value-led description.

  • Marketing directed towards the most relevant local and international buyer profiles.

  • Checks on affordability and financing requirements before accepting an offer.

  • Written negotiation of the price, timescale, included furniture, key handover and deposit conditions.

  • Coordination with lenders, valuers, notaries, registries and technical professionals where required.

Sellers should also estimate in advance the costs and taxes that may affect their net proceeds, including municipal capital gains tax, any personal capital gain, mortgage cancellation and the cost of correcting property documentation.

Is 2026 a good time to buy or sell in Alhaurín de la Torre?

In summer 2026, advertised prices were recording double-digit annual growth on the main property portals. This suggests active demand and limited supply, but it does not mean that every property will sell at any price or that every buyer should rush a decision.

For sellers, conditions may be favourable when the property is well documented, correctly presented and launched at a price supported by evidence. For buyers, the priority should be finding a home that suits their needs and has a clear physical, registry and planning position.

The best decision comes from analysing the individual property and negotiating with reliable information, rather than relying only on a broad market average.

Frequently asked questions about property in Alhaurín de la Torre

Is Alhaurín de la Torre a good place to live?

It can be an excellent choice for people seeking a residential environment, more space and access to Málaga, Málaga Airport and the Costa del Sol. The most suitable area depends on whether you prioritise walkable services, public transport, a private plot or greater privacy.

What is the average property price in Alhaurín de la Torre?

Fotocasa reported an average advertised price of €2,741/m² in August 2026. Idealista recorded €2,676/m² in July. These are asking-price indicators and should not be used as an automatic valuation for an individual home.

Which area is best for buying a house?

There is no universal answer. The centre offers easier access to day-to-day services; Retamar, Capellanía and El Lagar are established residential areas; and Pinos de Alhaurín is often considered by buyers looking for detached villas and private plots. Outlying areas may provide more land but require particularly careful planning checks.

Do I need a car to live in Alhaurín de la Torre?

It depends on the property and your daily journeys. Metropolitan bus links include the M-169 and M-170 routes with connections to the Málaga Metro network, but a car provides greater flexibility in many urbanisations and outlying neighbourhoods.

What should I check when buying a villa with a plot?

Check ownership, registered charges, registry and cadastral areas, planning classification, licences and the documentation for pools, extensions and outbuildings. A technical inspection of the property's condition is also advisable.

Can international buyers purchase property in Alhaurín de la Torre?

International buyers are active in the Málaga property market. Before committing to a purchase, they should plan their identification, banking, financing, tax and legal arrangements and use qualified advisers where appropriate. The property itself must still undergo the same careful registry, planning and technical checks.

How long does it take to sell a property?

There is no fixed timeframe. It depends on price, location, condition, documentation, buyer demand and marketing strategy. A well-prepared and accurately priced property will generally be easier to position than one with unresolved documentation or an unrealistic asking price.
