About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. The 96sqm south-facing terrace delivers uninterrupted Mediterranean panoramas and extends the 89sqm interior living space by more than double, creating an outdoor room that captures sunlight from dawn through to evening.
Inside, two en-suite bedrooms provide private retreats, whilst the open-plan living area flows directly onto the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass. The apartment comes fully furnished to a contemporary specification and includes one underground parking space. Air conditioning maintains comfort year-round, and the south orientation ensures natural light floods every room. Completion is scheduled for 2026, with finishes selected to modern standards throughout. The communal pool serves residents within the gated development, and the property holds a valid tourist licence for those considering rental income alongside personal use.
Reserva del Higuerón sits between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, placing this apartment 15 minutes from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport by car. The resort occupies elevated ground between the coast and the Andalusian foothills, with direct access to the resort's sports club, spa facilities, and multiple restaurants. Fuengirola's marina lies 3 kilometres to the southwest, whilst the beaches below the resort can be reached via the resort's own private access path.

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.
