About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Higuerón, Costa del Sol. Direct beach access defines this 89sqm residence, where the Mediterranean sits metres from your terrace rather than streets away. The 31sqm outdoor space extends the living area across two levels, with the ground-floor garden providing 43sqm of private terrain bordered by landscaped planting.
Inside, the layout separates two double bedrooms across opposite ends of the apartment, each with its own bathroom fitted with walk-in showers and underfloor heating. The open-plan living area runs 7.2 metres along glazed doors that retract completely, merging indoor and outdoor zones. The kitchen arrives with Siemens appliances, quartz worktops and soft-close cabinetry, while aerothermal climate control and home automation systems manage temperature and lighting throughout. One underground parking space and a storage room come with the property, which completes in 2026.
The Valley Collection sits within Higuerón Resort, a gated beachfront development spanning 11 hectares between Fuengirola and Benalmádena. Residents access three outdoor pools, an indoor heated pool, a spa with treatment rooms, a gym, tennis and padel courts, plus 24-hour security and concierge services. Carvajal Beach lies 200 metres from the complex entrance, while Fuengirola's marina and old town sit 2.5 kilometres along the coastal path. Málaga Airport is a 15-minute drive via the A7.

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.
