About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. The east-facing orientation captures morning light across 115 square metres of living space, whilst the elevated position delivers glimpses of the Mediterranean alongside mountain vistas. A 30-square-metre loft area on the lower level stands ready for conversion into a home office, cinema room or third bedroom, with high ceilings that amplify the sense of space.
The main floor holds two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC, alongside an open-plan kitchen that flows into the living room. Seventeen square metres of terrace space splits across both levels, providing outdoor zones for morning coffee and evening dining. The apartment comes part-furnished and includes one designated parking space. Ground-floor access removes the need for lifts or stairs when carrying shopping or luggage. Built in 2006, the property maintains good condition throughout, with modern fittings in the kitchen and bathroom areas.
The residential complex in Torreblanca features a communal swimming pool and a shared gym for residents. Torreblanca beach sits approximately 1 kilometre away, reachable on foot in twelve minutes along the coastal path. The neighbourhood provides local shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance, whilst Fuengirola town centre lies 3 kilometres to the south with its marina, weekly market and train connections along the Costa del Sol.

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.
