About this property

Overview

Horizon36 delivers two and three-bedroom apartments in Fuengirola, with built areas from 79 to 106 square metres and terraces spanning 34 to 146 square metres. The terrace range is wide because the project splits into three types: ground-floor homes with private gardens, mid-level apartments with conventional terraces, and top-floor units with large private rooftop solariums. The rooftop homes face the sea and get sun from early morning into the evening, which matters if you plan to use the outdoor space for meals or lounging rather than just storage. The ground-floor gardens suit buyers with small children or dogs. All units have two bathrooms, two parking spaces and a storage room.

The setting is inland from the coast, above the AP-7 motorway, which puts you 17 minutes on foot from Playa de Torreblanca. That walk crosses the motorway, so you are not beachfront and the route is not entirely pleasant, but you avoid the traffic and tourist noise of the coastal strip. Málaga Airport is 30 minutes by car, Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt nine minutes, and The British College 12 minutes, which makes this practical for families who need schools and regular flights. Fuengirola's shops and port are close, so you can manage daily errands without long drives.

The layouts are open-plan, with floor-to-ceiling windows that pull light through the living areas. Aerothermal heating and cooling is fitted throughout, which cuts running costs compared to older electric systems. The buildings sit in communal grounds with gardens and a shared pool. The mountain-side position means you face either east, south or west depending on the unit, and sea views reach across to the horizon from the upper floors.

This suits buyers who want space and quiet near Fuengirola but not the density of the beachfront towers. The walk to the beach is manageable but not instant, so this is not for anyone who wants sand outside the door.

HORIZON36 |: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is 17 minutes on foot, or seven minutes by car. The walk crosses the AP-7 motorway on a footbridge, so the route is not scenic but it does avoid the traffic and density of the coastal strip. You are far enough inland to keep some quiet, but close enough to reach the sand without relying entirely on the car.

Terraces range from 34 to 146 square metres because the development splits into three types. Ground-floor homes have private gardens of roughly 80 to 100 square metres, mid-level apartments have conventional terraces of around 30 to 40 square metres, and top-floor units have rooftop solariums of up to 146 square metres. The rooftop homes face the sea and catch sun all day, which makes them useful for outdoor dining rather than storage.

Málaga Airport is 30 minutes by car. That distance makes the development workable for lock-up-and-leave use or for buyers who fly in and out regularly. The route is straightforward along the AP-7, and the inland position means you miss the coastal traffic when heading to the terminal.

The British College is 12 minutes by car, Hospital Vithas Xanit International ten minutes, and a supermarket four minutes. Fuengirola's shops and port are 13 minutes away, so you have international schools and health care within a short drive. The ground-floor homes have private gardens, which suit families with young children or dogs.

Units face east, south or west depending on position within the buildings. The upper floors look out to the sea, and the mountain-side setting means you get open views across the coast from the top-floor solariums. South-facing homes receive the most consistent sun, while west-facing units catch late-afternoon light.

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.
