About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, positioned within a two-minute walk of both Los Boliches train station and the beach. Built in 2019, this 60sqm residence combines practical design with year-round comfort through centralised air conditioning and double glazing. An interior patio supplements the 6sqm terrace, creating dual outdoor access points that draw natural light through the living spaces.
The open-plan living and dining area connects directly to the terrace and accommodates a sofa bed for occasional guests. The kitchen comes equipped with ceramic hob, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher and washing machine. The bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with shower, eliminating corridor space and maximising the usable footprint. Part-furnished throughout, the apartment includes essential pieces whilst allowing scope for personalisation.
Los Boliches places you 300 metres from the beachfront promenade and its succession of beach bars and seafood restaurants. The train station connects to Málaga Airport in 20 minutes and Málaga city centre in 25 minutes, with services running every 20 minutes throughout the day. Fuengirola's main shopping district sits 1.5 kilometres north, accessible via the coastal path or a brief train journey. The building itself occupies a residential street one block back from the seafront, reducing tourist foot traffic whilst maintaining immediate access to both transport links and the Mediterranean shoreline.

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.
