About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This 90-square-metre property offers access to four communal swimming pools within the complex, giving you year-round outdoor bathing options without the maintenance burden of sole ownership.
The apartment provides two bathrooms alongside the two bedrooms, with west-facing orientation that captures afternoon and evening light. The 90 square metres of built space gives you defined living areas, and the property comes unfurnished, allowing you to configure the interiors to your requirements. One allocated parking space is included, removing the daily search for street parking that defines much of coastal living. The apartment sits within a 1982-built block that remains in good condition, and the complex surrounds you with maintained communal gardens that provide green buffer zones between buildings.
Puebla Lucía occupies a central position in Fuengirola, placing you within walking distance of the town's train station, which connects directly to Málaga Airport in under 30 minutes. The complex maintains year-round security alongside its four pools and landscaped gardens. Fuengirola's beaches lie approximately 800 metres south of the development, reachable on foot in under ten minutes. The town centre's shops, restaurants, and services sit immediately adjacent to the complex, and the main bus station operates next to the train stop, extending your transport options along the coast and into the inland villages.

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.
