About this property

Overview

CORE HIGUERON Fase II is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom middle floor apartments for sale in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, priced from €709,900 to €1,449,900. This is the second phase of the established El Higuerón residential community, which means buyers acquire access to an existing infrastructure of facilities and services rather than waiting for a standalone project to mature. The apartments are built to a specification that positions them at the upper end of Fuengirola's new build market, with built areas between 106 and 160 m² that are notably larger than the typical 80–95 m² two-bedroom units common along this stretch of coast.

Each apartment includes two bathrooms regardless of bedroom count, and all units feature private terraces with views towards the Mediterranean. The development provides two infinity pools, a gym, a spa, paddle tennis courts, and a putting green. These are shared facilities within the wider El Higuerón community. The supplier description emphasises contemporary architecture and high-specification materials, though specific brands or finishes are not detailed in the available data. The built size range suggests that three-bedroom layouts will exceed 130 m², which is generous for a middle floor apartment and allows for open-plan living areas and separate dining zones.

Fuengirola sits between Marbella and Málaga, with Málaga airport approximately 20 minutes by car via the A-7 coastal motorway. The town attracts a mix of Scandinavian and British buyers, many of whom prioritise year-round liveability over pure resort appeal. Fuengirola has a functioning town centre, a twice-weekly market, and a commuter train line that connects to Málaga and the airport, which matters if you plan to use the property outside peak summer months. El Higuerón itself is positioned on elevated land above the coast, which delivers the sea views but means you are not within walking distance of the beach or town amenities. You will need a car for daily errands.

The supplier description does not confirm whether this phase is completed, under construction, or off-plan, so clarification is required before proceeding. Standard Spanish new build payment structures typically involve a reservation deposit, stage payments aligned with construction milestones, and a final balance on completion and key handover, though exact amounts and schedules vary by developer. Independent legal representation is recommended to review contracts and confirm that all facilities described are contractually guaranteed. Parking allocation is not confirmed in the available data, which is unusual at this price point and should be verified directly with the developer before reservation.

CORE HIGUERON Fase II sits directly on the beach in Fuengirola, one of the Costa del Sol's most established coastal towns. You get immediate beach access, the Mediterranean lifestyle, and all the local amenities of a mature resort destination, all from your front door.

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.
