Situated 15 minutes from Velez-Malaga and 20 minutes from the coast, this charming single storey property is in need of a little updating but fully habitable. Just a few minutes drive from the village with very easy access from the road, electric gates open onto the land and a concrete drive which leads uphill, firstly to the covered garage (open to the front), and then up to a car park for 2 cars next to the house.
The plot consists of just over 3,000m2 of land, with lovely terraces and gardens on a flat area around the house, with plenty of mature, flowering bushes, through which the beautiful views include the village of Almachar and the countryside around.
To one side is the small pool (around 3 x 2m). It currently has a partial wooden roof, as the owner uses it for storage, but this can easily be removed and the pool renovated, including a filter system which it currently doesn't have.
Above the house, taking steps to one side of the pool, past various flower beds, one reaches an upper terrace, partially covered, and an ideal relaxing area, with views across to Velez-Malaga and the sea. There is land to the front and sides, all sloping but much of it useable, with fruit trees such as oranges, lemons, avocados and almond trees. There is plenty of space to plant more trees, and vegetables.
There is some work to be done in the gardens in general, such as improving fencing, steps etc. To the top of the land, there are two large water deposits, (approximately totalling 15,000L), one used for irrigation and one for the house. The water comes from a fresh water well on the land which has never run out. However, if anyone wished to, mains water is being installed along the road, so it may be possible to request a connection.
The house has a partially open porch area (3.5 x 2m), plus a large completely enclosed conservatory area (5 x 3m), the perfect place to enjoy all year round. From here a door leads into the living room
(5 x 5.5m) with a woodburner, and an opening beyond leads to the kitchen (3 x 3m approximately).
The partition wall between the kitchen and the living room could easily be removed to open the area up. To the rear of the living room area is access to the bathroom (around 2 x 2m) and two double bedrooms
(4 x 3.5m and 4 x 4m).
This lovely house offers easy access, close to the village and at the same time beautiful views and a peaceful location. It is ideal for anyone looking for a simple country house where they can make some basic renovations to their own style and taste, without any structural work.

Buying a Property in Spain
1. Putting down a Holding Deposit
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.
2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)
The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.
3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)
Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
