About this property

Overview

These penthouses sit in Torreblanca, the northernmost district of Fuengirola, where the town starts to climb away from the seafront. At 134 to 139 square metres, these are three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes with large terraces that come with being on the top floor. The layouts work for families who need space without stepping up to a detached house, or for buyers after outdoor living in a scheme that keeps maintenance off their hands.

Torreblanca is residential rather than resort. The beach is a twenty-minute walk downhill, Fuengirola town centre about the same distance along the coast. For daily needs you are better with a car. The immediate surroundings are low-rise apartment buildings and some older villas, with the sierra rising behind. The setting is quiet but not isolated, and you are five minutes by car from the A7 coast road and the shops and restaurants that line the lower parts of Fuengirola.

The development is built as a contained resort, meaning the communal facilities are scaled for residents to stay on site rather than venture out. That suits buyers who want everything managed within the gates, but it is not a walking neighbourhood in the way central Fuengirola is, and anyone expecting to stroll to cafes or a market will find the location limiting. The penthouses themselves offer more outdoor space than a mid-floor flat, and the two-bathroom layout works when children share or when you need a guest bathroom without adding a bedroom.

This is a practical scheme in a part of Fuengirola that prioritises residential calm over being in the thick of things. If you want to be on the paseo or within walking distance of the marina, look elsewhere. If you want a managed, self-contained base with quick access to the coast road and a home large enough for family life, Torreblanca delivers that without the density or the prices of the beachfront.

MEDHILLS FUENGIROLA: Frequently Asked Questions

The penthouses range from 134 to 147 square metres. Each has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with larger terraces than the flats below because they sit on the top floor. The layouts give families room to spread out without the cost and upkeep of a villa.

Each penthouse has a private terrace, larger than those on lower floors. The development also has communal gardens and facilities, which the service charge covers. You get outdoor space without maintaining it yourself, though the terrace upkeep is yours.

The beach is a twenty-minute walk downhill from Torreblanca, but the climb back makes a car more practical for regular trips. Fuengirola town centre sits about the same distance along the coast. The location assumes you will drive for most outings.

The three-bedroom layout and residential setting in Fuengirola work for permanent living, especially for families. The communal facilities are scaled for people to use daily rather than just holiday weeks. Torreblanca itself is quiet and suburban rather than seasonal.

Torreblanca is residential, with local schools and a health centre serving the northern part of Fuengirola. For a wider choice of international schools and larger supermarkets, you are five minutes by car to the A7 and the commercial areas closer to the town centre.

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.
