About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This corner-position residence occupies the end of its block, meaning just one adjoining neighbour and uninterrupted sightlines towards the Mediterranean. Built in 2021, the 90sqm interior follows an open-plan layout connecting kitchen, dining, and living zones through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass, which opens directly onto the covered terrace.
The 24sqm south-facing terrace runs the full width of the apartment and sits beneath a solid roof, allowing year-round outdoor dining regardless of season. Inside, the two bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, and the property includes one allocated parking space within the development. The apartment comes part-furnished, with modern fittings throughout and a clean, neutral palette that maximises natural light from the southern exposure.
Wave is a beachfront complex in Higuerón with concierge services and a communal pool. The development sits 650 metres from Carvajal beach, reachable on foot in under eight minutes, and connects to the Higuerón Resort facilities, which include restaurants, spa access, and a sports club. The A7 coastal road runs 400 metres north, placing Fuengirola town centre six minutes away by car and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport 20 kilometres to the northeast.

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.
