About this property
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Torreblanca, Costa del Sol. The living-dining room opens directly onto a 5sqm terrace where the Mediterranean stretches across the horizon, making this the natural centre of the home for morning coffee or evening meals in the open air.
The apartment measures 80sqm across a layout that separates sleeping areas from living spaces, with two full bathrooms including a guest toilet that adds convenience when hosting. The independent kitchen includes a separate laundry area and receives natural light throughout the day, while both bedrooms offer enough space for double beds and storage.
The property comes part-furnished and benefits from a communal swimming pool and one allocated parking space. Built in 2000, it remains in excellent condition with no renovation required. The layout keeps the kitchen separate from the main living area, which works well for containing cooking activity whilst entertaining. The second bedroom functions equally as a guest room or home office, with the additional toilet positioned for access without entering private areas of the apartment. Storage extends into the laundry zone, which is fully separate from the kitchen workspace.
The apartment sits on Avenida de las Gaviotas in Torreblanca, a residential area within Fuengirola that places the beach approximately 400 metres away on foot. The location provides walking access to Fuengirola's marina and town centre, both under 2 kilometres distance, whilst remaining outside the denser tourist zones. Local amenities including supermarkets and restaurants line the surrounding streets, and the Fuengirola-Málaga train line runs regular services from the station 1.5 kilometres inland.

9 questions answered
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
