Why This Budget?

What €1 Million Can Offer

Larger Apartments

This budget can open up more spacious apartments in strong locations, often with better terraces, parking, storage and community facilities.

Penthouses

Selected penthouses may fall within this range, especially outside the most expensive frontline or prime luxury locations.

Townhouses

Townhouses can offer more internal space, private terraces and a residential feel, often with community pools and gardens.

Selected Villas

In some areas, €1 million can include detached or semi-detached villas, although location, condition and plot size vary significantly.

Golf & Gated Communities

Many buyers use this budget to target established golf areas, secure communities and lock-up-and-leave homes with strong lifestyle appeal.

Better Lifestyle Choice

With more flexibility, buyers can often choose between proximity to the beach, views, space, newer construction or stronger community facilities.

Buyer Advice

Decide Whether €1 Million Is the Price or the Full Budget

Before viewing, it is important to decide whether €1 million is your maximum purchase price or your total budget including purchase costs, furniture, upgrades and legal fees.

As a practical guide, resale buyers in Andalucía often allow roughly 10% on top of the purchase price. New-build costs are usually higher because IVA and AJD apply. Your lawyer should confirm the exact figures before you commit.

A clear budget makes the search more efficient and helps avoid comparing properties that look similar online but sit at very different total cost levels once taxes and purchase costs are included.
