About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Higuerón, Costa del Sol. The 40-square-metre south-facing terrace features a private Jacuzzi where you can watch the Mediterranean horizon shift from blue to gold as evening arrives. An innovative moving wall system connects the master bedroom to the open-plan living area, allowing you to reconfigure the 89-square-metre interior and control how much light floods through the space.
Both bedrooms and bathrooms have underfloor heating, whilst a home automation system manages climate control and lighting throughout. The open-plan kitchen flows into the living area, which opens directly onto the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass. Two bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, with the master enjoying an en-suite. The apartment comes fully furnished and includes one parking space within the gated complex. Completion is scheduled for 2026, with finishes selected to a high standard.
South Residences sits within the Higuerón development, a gated complex with landscaped gardens and 24-hour security. The Higuerón Resort beach club lies 1.5 kilometres down the hill, accessible by the development's own shuttle service. Fuengirola town centre is a 10-minute drive east along the A-7, whilst Málaga airport sits 20 kilometres to the northeast.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Higuerón
Can foreigners buy property in Higuerón?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Higuerón. 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 Higuerón?
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.
