About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torreblanca, Costa del Sol. Originally configured as a two-bedroom layout, this 62sqm middle-floor residence has been reimagined to create a more spacious single-bedroom design that maximises living space and flow throughout.
The apartment includes a fully fitted kitchen, one bathroom with contemporary fixtures, and fitted wardrobes in the bedroom that provide built-in storage without compromising floor area. Air conditioning maintains a comfortable temperature year-round, while double glazing reduces external noise and improves thermal efficiency. The property comes part furnished, and the communal pool and gardens offer outdoor space without the maintenance burden of private ownership. One allocated parking space is included within the communal parking area.
Torreblanca sits on the eastern edge of Fuengirola, a residential neighbourhood that combines local Spanish character with coastal accessibility. The urbanisation provides a quieter alternative to the town centre while keeping essential services within walking distance. Fuengirola's main beach stretches along the seafront approximately 1.5 kilometres from the property, reachable in under 20 minutes on foot or a short drive down to the promenade. The Cercanías train station connects directly to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes and to Málaga city centre in 35 minutes, making this a practical base for frequent travellers or those working remotely between locations.

Buying this apartment in Torreblanca
Can foreigners buy property in Torreblanca?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Torreblanca. 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 Torreblanca?
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.
