About this place
This traditional village house in Alora was built in 1960 and is well-maintained, featuring two reception rooms. One serves as a dining room, complete with a fitted under-stairs cupboard for storage, while the other provides a cosy lounge that connects to a fully fitted kitchen. Off the kitchen, you will find the family bathroom. There are covered steps leading down to two additional rooms, which are currently used as a laundry and storage area but offer the potential for conversion into more living space.
At the rear of the house, a large patio area presents limitless possibilities. It can serve as a fantastic garden or be upgraded to include a swimming pool. Alternatively, there is potential to develop further accommodations, such as apartments or an annex. Currently, this extensive outdoor space accommodates the owner's vehicles, as well as a covered parking area that is rented out.
Inside, the upper floor features three well-sized bedrooms, two equipped with Juliette balconies. The third bedroom connects to a fourth room, currently a dressing area, which accesses a nice balcony overlooking the spacious patio. With such a sizable outdoor area combined with its location in town, this property is ideal for families looking for a home with ample possibilities.

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
