About this property

Overview

Astra Homes offers apartments with two or three bedrooms, between 93 and 181 square metres built, aimed at both families settling on the coast and buyers planning regular visits. The smaller flats suit couples or those wanting a compact holiday base, while the larger ones, reaching 181 square metres, give families room to spread out with separate living zones. Each home includes a terrace of around 20 square metres, and most have sea or mountain views. Some units face south, others north, so orientation varies across the development. You get either a communal or private pool, a garden, and garage or parking.

The development sits above the AP-7 motorway, on rising ground towards the hills behind Fuengirola rather than down by the seafront. That position puts you a 9-minute walk from ALDI for everyday shopping and within easy reach of Fuengirola town centre, around 2 kilometres away, where you find larger supermarkets, schools and the full range of services. The beach is just over a kilometre from the entrance. Málaga Airport is 32 minutes by car, which matters if you or guests are flying in regularly. The setting is quieter than the beachside strips, with less through traffic, but it is not a golf estate or a gated enclave, so you are part of the wider neighbourhood rather than sealed off from it.

Being above the motorway means you hear some road noise, particularly from homes on the southern side. You need a car for most trips beyond the immediate supermarket run. The location suits buyers who want proximity to Fuengirola's amenities and the airport without paying beachfront premiums, and who are comfortable with a short drive rather than a seafront walk.

Astra Homes: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de los Boliches is 1.4 kilometres away, about four minutes by car. The slope up from the coast and the stretch of road between you and the seafront make walking impractical for most buyers, so this is a development where you drive to the beach rather than stroll down after breakfast.

Built areas run from 93 to 181 square metres, with two or three bedrooms and one or two bathrooms depending on the unit. The smaller flats work for couples or anyone wanting a manageable base, while the larger ones give families separate living and sleeping zones. Every home includes a terrace of around 20 square metres.

Some units come with a private pool, others share a communal one. Either way, you get access to a garden and garage or parking space. The communal option means lower maintenance bills and less upkeep when the property sits empty, while a private pool suits buyers who want their own outdoor space without neighbours nearby.

Most units look out over the sea or the mountains behind Fuengirola, with some offering panoramic takes on both. Orientation varies: some homes face south, catching the sun for most of the day, while others face north and stay cooler in summer. The hillside position above the AP-7 motorway lifts the sightlines above the buildings closer to the shore.

ALDI is a nine-minute walk for everyday shopping, but Fuengirola town centre, with its wider choice of supermarkets, schools and services, sits around two kilometres away and is easier by car. The same goes for the beach and most other daily errands beyond the immediate neighbourhood, so this location works best if you are comfortable driving rather than walking everywhere.

Buying off-plan in Fuengirola means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
