About this property

Overview

Higuerón Bay Residences offers two and three-bedroom apartments in Fuengirola, set on higher ground above the AP-7 motorway with views towards the mountains and, from many homes, out to the Mediterranean. The built areas run from 84 square metres up to 128 square metres, and the terraces are notably large, starting at 31 square metres and reaching 98 square metres in the biggest units. The smaller apartments suit couples or professionals working remotely, while the three-bedroom homes give families proper separation between living and sleeping areas. All apartments face south or south-west, which means afternoon sun on the terrace and good natural light through winter.

The location balances access to the beach with practical convenience. Playa de Torreblanca is a six-minute walk away, so you can be on the sand quickly without needing a car. Carvajal train station is 300 metres from the development, with direct trains to Málaga Airport and Málaga city centre. Fuengirola town centre is three kilometres away, and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is a 12-minute drive. The British College international school is seven minutes by car, and a Mercadona supermarket is within walking distance, though 22 minutes on foot is far enough that most residents will drive for a weekly shop.

The development sits within a gated community and includes a heated communal pool, jacuzzis, a gym and a coworking space. Underfloor heating runs throughout each apartment, and the homes use an aerothermal system for heating and hot water, which is more efficient than older electric or gas systems. Each apartment comes with at least one parking space.

The trade-off here is the position above the motorway. You get mountain and sea views and easy beach access, but road noise can reach the development depending on wind direction and which floor you are on. Families who prioritise school runs, beach walks and airport access will find this location works well. Those who want absolute quiet or prefer to be right in the centre of town should look elsewhere.

Higuerón Bay Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is a six-minute walk from the development. The beach is wide and sandy with gentle waves, and it runs for several kilometres in both directions, so you have space even in summer. You can reach the shore without needing a car.

Built areas range from 84 square metres in the two-bedroom homes to 128 square metres in the three-bedroom units. Terraces start at 31 square metres and go up to 98 square metres, which is larger than many two-bedroom apartments elsewhere. The extra terrace space makes these homes feel much bigger than their built area suggests.

Many apartments look out to the Mediterranean, while others face the mountains inland. All homes are oriented south or south-west, which means you get afternoon sun on the terrace and good natural light through the winter months. The development sits on higher ground, so the sea views clear the rooflines below.

Carvajal station is 300 metres from the development, with direct trains to Málaga Airport and Málaga city centre. The train removes the need to drive or pay for taxis when you arrive or leave, and it runs frequently enough that you do not need to build much slack into your departure time.

The British College international school is seven minutes by car, and Hospital Vithas Xanit International is 12 minutes away in Fuengirola. A Mercadona supermarket is within walking distance, though 22 minutes on foot means most people drive for a weekly shop. Fuengirola town centre, with its wider range of shops and restaurants, is three kilometres from the development.

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.
