About this place
This studio apartment in Málaga is situated on the popular Calle Olletas, only moments away from the historic centre. The property has undergone a full renovation, boasting a modern kitchen and bathroom. It is ready to move in or to start generating rental income immediately, thanks to its active tourism license (VFT). Obtaining such a license in Málaga has become increasingly difficult due to recent city regulations, making this studio a rare find.
The location is ideal for various rental options, whether you aim for high-yield short-term holiday rentals or long-term student lets, with the Universidad de Málaga and several private colleges within easy reach. This compact city pied-à-terre is positioned in one of Spain's fastest-growing property markets, offering strong potential for rental performance, whether short-term or long-term.
For investors and individuals alike, this studio not only serves as a valuable asset but also accommodates the lifestyle needs of urban living, with vibrant local cafes and historic sites just a short walk away.

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
