About this property

Overview

Sunset Views FASE II is a block of two-bedroom apartments in Fuengirola, on the western edge of the Costa del Sol. Each flat comes with two bathrooms, two parking spaces and a storage room. At 171 square metres built, these are notably large for a two-bedroom layout, suggesting wide living spaces and generous terraces rather than the compact formats found in most Mediterranean apartment blocks. That size makes them practical for year-round living or for families who want room to spread out, but it also means higher running costs and community fees than a smaller flat would carry.

The development sits within Fuengirola's residential sprawl, set back from the seafront but still within the town's reach. The local beaches are a short drive west or east, and Fuengirola centre, with its weekly market, supermarkets and railway station, is close enough for errands without being walkable for daily shopping on foot. The town itself is less polished than Marbella to the west but more accessible than the villages inland, and it draws a year-round population of northern European residents alongside Spanish families. Two communal pools and an outdoor workout area are shared between 74 homes across two buildings, which limits availability during the summer peak but keeps the community small enough that it does not feel anonymous.

Fuengirola is a working town rather than a resort. It has a functional high street, a fishing port and a long promenade, but little in the way of fine dining or nightlife. Málaga airport is 25 kilometres east along the motorway, making flights straightforward. The size and the two parking spaces make these flats suited to buyers who plan to drive regularly, either because they commute or because they want to explore the coast and the interior without relying on buses. Buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave apartment will find the layout and the running costs impractical.

Sunset Views FASE II: Frequently Asked Questions

Each apartment measures 171 square metres built. That figure includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, enclosed living spaces and terraces, making these considerably larger than the typical two-bedroom flats sold along the coast.

No. The beaches lie a short drive to either side of the development. Fuengirola seafront and promenade are close enough by car but too far to walk comfortably with bags or children.

Two swimming pools and an outdoor workout area, shared between 74 homes across two buildings. The pools will be busy during summer months, but the relatively small community means you are unlikely to struggle for space outside peak weeks.

Yes, two spaces per flat, plus a storage room. That allocation suits households with two cars or buyers who want to keep one bay free for guests, and it reflects the fact that most errands here require a vehicle.

Yes. The town has supermarkets, a railway station linking the coast, schools, health centres and a working high street used by Spanish families and long-term foreign residents. It functions as a town rather than a seasonal resort.

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.
