About this property

Overview

Higueron South Residences sits above the AP-7 motorway on the mountain side of Fuengirola, with apartments ranging from 89 to 116 square metres inside and terraces that span from 27 to 288 square metres. The two-bedroom homes suit couples or small families, while the three-bedroom layouts work for larger households or buyers who need a home office. The wide terrace range reflects the variety of unit types, from standard apartments to garden-level homes with generous outdoor space and penthouses with wraparound terraces.

The location puts you within a five-minute drive or fourteen-minute walk of Mercadona for groceries, and Málaga Airport is thirty-one minutes by car. The beach is close enough for regular visits, but you are not on the seafront itself. This position appeals to buyers who want sea and mountain views without the density and noise of the beachside strips, and who are comfortable using a car for most errands. Families with school-age children often prefer this balance.

The development shares design and service links with Higuerón Hotel, so residents have access to hotel facilities including a spa and restaurants. The architecture uses corten steel, stone and wood, and the four blocks are named after contemporary artists. Communal gardens use native plants, and each home includes parking. The site is gated, which limits through traffic but means you will rely on a car for shopping and dining unless you are happy with the walk to the nearest commercial area.

The trade-off is straightforward. You gain space, views and a quieter setting, but you lose the immediacy of beachfront living. If you want to walk out for breakfast by the sea or prefer not to drive daily, this location will feel inconvenient.

Higueron South Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is one kilometre away, which is about five minutes by car. That distance makes a walk possible, but most residents drive. The elevation gives you sea views without the crowds and noise of the beachfront developments.

Terraces range from 27 to 288 square metres. The smaller ones belong to standard apartments, while garden-level homes and penthouses have the largest outdoor spaces. A ground-floor unit with a garden terrace gives you far more private outdoor space than a mid-floor apartment.

Yes. The nearest supermarket is a fourteen-minute walk, which is manageable occasionally but not for weekly shopping. The development sits inland of the motorway, so you will drive to the beach, restaurants and most services. The trade-off is quieter surroundings and mountain views.

Upper-floor homes offer sea and mountain panoramas, while lower units focus more on mountain or garden outlooks. The development sits on elevated ground above Fuengirola, so even mid-level apartments catch views over the rooftops toward the coast.

Málaga Airport is fourteen kilometres away, a thirty-one-minute drive in normal traffic. That makes the development practical for lock-up-and-leave use, whether you visit a few times a year or rent the home out between stays. The motorway access is straightforward.

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.
