About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This fully furnished residence occupies 112 square metres of interior space plus a 38-square-metre terrace where you can eat breakfast in the sun or host evening drinks without leaving home. The property forms part of a private gated community with two communal pools, a gym, and a coworking space for remote professionals.
Inside, the layout provides two bathrooms alongside the two bedrooms, with the entire apartment delivered in excellent condition as a 2025 new build. The terrace extends the living area outdoors and offers enough room for a dining table, lounge seating, and potted plants. One parking space is included in the sale, and the apartment comes with all furniture in place, so you can move in without ordering a single item. The communal gym removes the need for an external membership, while the coworking space gives you a quiet alternative to working from the dining table.
The community sits in El Higuerón, a residential area in Fuengirola known for its hillside position above the coast. Carvajal Beach lies 1.5 kilometres away, reachable in under five minutes by car or a 20-minute walk down the slope. The Carvajal train station connects you to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes and to Fuengirola town centre in three stops. Supermarkets, restaurants, and the Higuerón Hotel spa operate within a ten-minute walk, and the A7 coastal road provides direct access to Marbella and Málaga without navigating through town traffic. The storage room gives you space for bicycles, sports equipment, or seasonal items you prefer to keep out of the apartment.

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.
