About this property

Overview

Horizon36 is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, priced from €699,000 to €1,100,000. The project comprises just 36 homes across three low-rise buildings, a deliberately small scale that distinguishes it from the larger residential complexes that dominate much of Fuengirola's recent construction. Each unit is configured as a ground floor apartment with direct garden access, positioning the development for buyers who want single-level living without compromising outdoor space. The supplier description references sky solarium homes and garden villas, suggesting varied configurations within the ground floor typology, though the structured data confirms all units as ground floor apartments.

Built sizes range from 79 to 106 m², with all homes offering two bathrooms regardless of bedroom count. The development includes a communal swimming pool, and the supplier description confirms two parking spaces and a storage room per unit, though parking is not listed in the structured data provided. Homes feature open-plan layouts with large windows designed to maximise natural light, and all units include private terraces. The project incorporates aerothermal heating and cooling systems, a heat pump technology increasingly common in Spanish new builds for its energy efficiency. Construction emphasises thermal insulation and low-emission materials, reflecting Spain's tightening energy performance standards for residential developments. The supplier description mentions sea views from certain units, though ground floor apartments typically offer more limited vistas than elevated properties.

Fuengirola sits midway along the Costa del Sol, approximately 25 minutes by car from Málaga Airport via the A-7 coastal motorway. The town attracts a mix of permanent Northern European residents, particularly Scandinavian and British retirees, alongside Spanish families and holiday home buyers who value its year-round services and wide, accessible beaches. Fuengirola lacks the prestige pricing of Marbella to the west but offers better value per square metre and a more functional town centre with supermarkets, healthcare, and public transport. The starting price of €699,000 for a 2-bedroom ground floor apartment positions Horizon36 at the upper end of Fuengirola's new build market, where similar-sized units in larger developments often start below €500,000. Buyers should verify whether the sea views mentioned in the supplier description apply to all units or only specific orientations within the three buildings.

The supplier description does not specify whether Horizon36 is off-plan, under construction, or nearing completion. Standard Spanish new build payment structures typically require a reservation deposit, stage payments aligned with construction milestones, and a final balance on key handover, though exact amounts and schedules vary by developer and should be confirmed in writing. Independent legal representation is recommended to review contracts, verify licences, and confirm that parking and storage are contractually guaranteed despite their absence from the structured data. Ground floor apartments with garden access often incur higher community fees than upper-floor units due to the additional maintenance of private outdoor areas.

Horizon36: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Horizon36 covers the apartment itself, your private garage, and access to either a private garden or communal pool depending on your unit. All 2 and 3 bedroom apartments come fully finished and ready to move into when completed at the end of 2024.

Yes, Horizon36 is positioned right on the beachfront in Fuengirola with south-facing orientation, so sea views are a key feature of this development. The south-facing aspect means you'll get excellent natural light and views across the Mediterranean throughout the day.

Horizon36 offers 2 and 3 bedroom ground floor apartments ranging from 79 to 106 square metres. The 2 bedroom units start at €699,000, while the larger 3 bedroom apartments go up to €1,100,000 depending on exact specifications and garden or pool access.

Every apartment at Horizon36 includes either a private garden or access to the communal pool area, giving you outdoor living space. Additionally, the beachfront location means you have direct access to the beach just steps from your home.

Horizon36 is scheduled for completion on 31 December 2024, so you could be enjoying your new beachfront home in Fuengirola by the end of this year. Ground floor apartments at Horizon36 offer immediate beach access once the project is finished.

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.
