About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. The 11sqm west-facing terrace overlooks the communal pool and opens directly from the living room, creating an extended outdoor space where the afternoon light lingers well into evening.
Inside, the 64sqm layout divides cleanly into a double living area, two bedrooms and one bathroom. The kitchen sits adjacent to the lounge, with direct terrace access making outdoor dining straightforward. Both bedrooms accommodate double beds, with the principal bedroom offering built-in wardrobes. The apartment comes unfurnished, positioned on a mid-level floor within a 2007 building fitted with a lift. One allocated parking space is included, housed in the underground garage beneath the block.
The building stands in Los Boliches, a residential pocket of Fuengirola where local bakeries and grocery shops line the streets within a five-minute walk. Los Boliches beach lies 800 metres south, reachable on foot in under ten minutes. Fuengirola's marina and the central promenade stretch along the coast 1.5 kilometres west, with regular bus services running the route every 15 minutes during daylight hours. The communal pool sits within a gated courtyard at the rear of the building, bordered by low planting and accessed via a coded entry system.

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.
