About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, offering open views across communal gardens and the surrounding mountain terrain from its first-floor position. The 61-square-metre layout maximises natural light throughout the day, with the living-dining area and integrated open-plan kitchen creating a continuous space that extends visually towards the greenery beyond. Fitted wardrobes in the double bedroom provide built-in storage without compromising floor space.
The bathroom includes both a washing machine and tumble dryer, addressing practical needs within the compact footprint. The living area receives consistent sunlight, whilst the bedroom maintains a comfortable separation from the shared living zones. Sold fully furnished, the apartment arrives ready for immediate occupation or rental use. The 1975 building maintains good condition, with the property presenting a functional layout that works efficiently across its 61 square metres.
Edificio Alessandra sits in a quiet residential pocket of Fuengirola, surrounded by maintained gardens that create a buffer from the busier coastal zones. The complex lies approximately 1.2 kilometres from Fuengirola's main beachfront promenade, accessible via a gentle downhill walk or short drive. Local shops and cafés cluster within 400 metres of the building, whilst the town's central market and transport links sit within a ten-minute walk. The first-floor position provides garden outlooks without ground-floor exposure, and the mountain backdrop frames the northerly aspect with consistent natural features.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Fuengirola
Can foreigners buy property in Fuengirola?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Fuengirola. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
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.
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.
