About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villas in Fuengirola built to 141 to 155 square metres, each with two bathrooms and a design that prioritises natural light and energy efficiency. The layouts are compact enough for a couple or small family but sized to give proper separation between living and sleeping spaces. Solar panels and high-performance insulation are fitted as standard, so running costs stay low year-round.
The development sits in El Higuerón, on rising ground above Fuengirola town centre. The immediate area is quiet and residential, with newer projects and low-density housing rather than the older apartment blocks closer to the seafront. Fuengirola's shops, restaurants and beaches are a short drive down the hill. Walking to the beach takes half an hour and involves a steep descent, so a car is the practical choice for most journeys. Málaga airport is twenty minutes east along the A7.
Shared facilities include an infinity pool, sauna, children's pool and areas set aside for growing vegetables or outdoor exercise. The development is gated, so access is controlled and the grounds stay private. The trade-off is a community fee that covers maintenance, security and upkeep of the pool and gardens.
These villas suit buyers who want a modern, low-energy home in a managed setting within reach of Fuengirola, and who accept that hillside living here means relying on a car for most daily trips. The size works for a couple or a family with one or two children, but three bedrooms in 141 square metres will feel tight if all three rooms are in regular use.

Veridian I: Frequently Asked Questions
How do the layouts differ across the 141 to 155 square metre range?
All the villas in Veridian I follow the same three-bedroom, two-bathroom plan. The fourteen square metre spread comes from differences in terrace size and internal storage rather than room count or arrangement. Every home has the same footprint for living areas and bedrooms.
Do the villas have private gardens or shared grounds?
Each villa has a private terrace, but no enclosed garden. The development has shared grounds with an infinity pool, children's pool, sauna and areas for growing vegetables. A community fee covers the maintenance and security, so you pay for upkeep whether you use the facilities or not.
Is El Higuerón walkable or do you need a car?
You need a car. The hillside position in El Higuerón puts Fuengirola's shops and beaches a steep half-hour walk below, which is impractical for regular trips. The immediate area is residential and quiet, so there is little within walking distance beyond other housing.
Are these villas suitable for year-round living?
Yes. Solar panels and high-performance insulation keep running costs low across all seasons, and the three-bedroom layout gives enough space for everyday life. Málaga airport is twenty minutes away, so the villas also work for lock-up-and-leave use between visits.
What does a gated development mean in practice?
Access to Veridian I is controlled, so the pool, grounds and parking stay private to residents and their guests. Security is included in the community fee. The setting is quieter than an open development, but you lose the flexibility of coming and going without restriction.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Fuengirola?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
