About this property

Overview

Lighthouse Higuerón Residences is a small block of 18 apartments on a hillside above Fuengirola, positioned to take in sea views across most units. The two- and three-bedroom layouts range from 106 to 123 square metres, with the living space and principal bedroom both oriented towards the Mediterranean. Large terraces extend the usable area, and the indoor rooms open directly onto them through floor-to-ceiling glass. All apartments have two bathrooms, two underground parking spaces and a storage room.

The hillside location in the El Higuerón district means you are above the coastal road and the beaches, with a quieter setting than the seafront itself but at the cost of a steep approach by car. Carvajal train station is a short drive downhill and connects to Málaga and the airport, but for daily shopping, the beach or restaurant meals beyond the on-site El Higuerón venue, you will need a car. The elevation gives the views but removes the spontaneity of a beachside address.

The development has an infinity pool, a gym and secure underground parking. Finishes are by Porcelanosa throughout, with contemporary detailing and a polished aesthetic. This suits buyers who want a modern, low-maintenance apartment with strong sea views and resort-style facilities, and who are prepared to drive for most errands. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the beach, the town centre or a supermarket. The small number of units keeps the communal areas quiet, but it also means fewer neighbours and a more insular feel than a larger scheme.

Lighthouse Higuerón Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

The apartments range from 106 to 123 square metres of built area. Two-bedroom units sit at the smaller end of that range, while three-bedroom layouts occupy the larger footprint. All apartments include two bathrooms, and the terraces add significant extra space beyond the built measurement.

The development sits on a hillside above Fuengirola, so the beach requires a drive down the slope rather than a walk. The elevation provides the sea views but means you cannot reach the shore on foot. This suits buyers who drive everywhere but not those who want to walk to the sand each morning.

Each apartment has its own private terrace, accessed directly from the living areas and principal bedroom through floor-to-ceiling glass. You maintain your own terrace space, while the communal pool, gym and gardens are looked after through the service charge.

The hillside location in the El Higuerón district puts daily shopping, most restaurants and the town centre of Fuengirola beyond comfortable walking distance. The on-site El Higuerón venue provides one dining option, but for supermarkets, the beach or variety in eating out, you will need a car.

The strong sea views, resort-style pool and gym, and modern Porcelanosa finishes appeal to holiday tenants, and two parking spaces per apartment suit groups arriving by car. The hillside setting means renters must drive to the beach and town, which some will see as a drawback and others will accept for the views and quiet.

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.
