About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Torreblanca, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor duplex spans 190 square metres across two levels, with a basement that includes a storage room and direct access to your allocated parking space. The 32-square-metre private terrace opens onto your own garden, whilst the property also benefits from a communal pool within the gated development.
Inside, the layout separates sleeping quarters from living areas across the duplex configuration. Both bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes, with the principal suite occupying its own level for privacy. The kitchen comes fully equipped, and the open-plan living space extends through glass doors to the terrace and garden. Central heating operates through a ceiling system, complemented by ceiling cooling for year-round climate control. A lift serves all floors, and a 24-hour security service monitors the complex. The property is unfurnished and ready for occupation in 2025.
Torreblanca sits on the eastern edge of Fuengirola, with the development positioned within walking distance of local shops, schools and a children's playground. Fuengirola's marina lies 3 kilometres west along the coast road, whilst several golf courses operate within a 10-minute drive inland. The town centre, with its market, restaurants and beachfront promenade, is a five-minute journey by car. The security entrance controls access to the gated community, which faces garden and pool views rather than the main road.

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