Torremolinos is where many foreigners first discovered the Costa del Sol — a compact resort between Málaga city and Benalmádena with neighbourhoods like La Carihuela, Playamar, and Montemar that still attract German, British, Dutch, and Nordic buyers looking for walkable beach life without Marbella price tags. The metro line to Málaga centre and quick access to the airport make it practical for owners who visit regularly but remain tax-resident abroad.
Property stock is mostly apartments in established blocks from the 1970s onward — banks know this market and often appraise it predictably. Non-resident rules match the rest of the coast: typically 70% LTV, overseas income verification, and a deposit that covers purchase costs beyond the bank minimum. We specialize in matching both non-resident buyers and expats already living in Torremolinos with lenders offering resident mortgage conditions. We place Torremolinos files with lenders comfortable financing classic resort apartments, not only new-build luxury.
Why buyers choose us in Torremolinos
Torremolinos buyers want a broker who understands mature resort stock and international income — not only new luxury developments.
Metro & airport access — buyers value the 15-minute metro link to Málaga and short transfers to the airport. We align completion timelines with owners who fly in for long weekends rather than month-long stays.
Established apartment stock — La Carihuela and Montemar blocks need clean community records and realistic tasaciones. We flag lender concerns before you reserve, especially on older reform projects.
Rental & second-home cases — many Torremolinos purchases are holiday lets or winter bases. We frame affordability and intended use in terms underwriters accept for non-resident landlords.

Torremolinos mortgage questions
Is Torremolinos still a good market for non-resident mortgages?
Yes. Torremolinos remains one of the most liquid international markets on the central Costa del Sol. Banks regularly finance non-residents buying in La Carihuela, Playamar, and Montemar, typically up to 70% LTV subject to appraisal and income proof. Established demand means valuers and notaries know the area well.
Do older Torremolinos apartments get financed easily?
Often yes, if documentation is clean — but age matters. Lenders look at community fee arrears, building licences, and whether reforms are registered. A sea-view flat in a well-maintained block from the 1980s or 1990s is usually straightforward; illegal terraces or pending community lawsuits can block approval until resolved.
How close is Torremolinos to Málaga for viewings and signing?
Very close — the metro reaches Málaga centre in around 15 minutes, and our office in Málaga city is a short trip away. Most buyers fly into Málaga Airport, view in Torremolinos, and can meet us the same day for a mortgage study or document review before returning home.
