What €300,000 Buys You Beachside in 2026

Properties within the €300,000 budget on the Costa del Sol typically include well-maintained apartments, often with one or two bedrooms. These are frequently located in established complexes with communal pools and gardens, sometimes just a short walk from the beach. While detached villas are rare at this price point directly on the coast, you might find older townhouses or properties requiring some renovation. Expect amenities like air conditioning and private balconies. Proximity to services, transport links, and the general condition of the building will influence specific pricing in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I find a 3-bedroom apartment for under €300,000 on the Costa del Sol in 2026?
While challenging, it's possible in less central areas or older buildings. Focus on 1-2 bedroom apartments for better availability and condition within the €300,000 budget near prime beaches.
What are the typical ongoing costs for a property under €300,000?
Expect annual property tax (IBI) of €300-€700, community fees €400-€1000, and utilities based on usage. Insurance and potential mortgage costs are additional.

Yes, Spain has a straightforward process for non-residents. You'll need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account. VestaLinks assists with all documentation.
What is the NIE number and why do I need it?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your foreigner identification number. It's essential for any significant financial transaction in Spain, including buying property, opening bank accounts, and paying taxes.

Are there any new developments available under €300,000?
