About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Carvajal, Costa del Sol. This duplex spans 107 square metres of interior space plus 65 square metres of terracing across two levels, completed in 2024 with a private rooftop jacuzzi that faces the Mediterranean. The covered terrace on the main level extends the open-plan living area, while the upper terrace provides uninterrupted sea and mountain views.
The ground-floor living space connects a fully equipped modern kitchen with a separate laundry room and flows into a bright lounge area that opens onto the covered terrace. Two double bedrooms occupy this level, each with an en-suite bathroom, and both rooms receive natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The property includes one parking space and comes part-furnished. Upstairs, the private rooftop terrace measures approximately 30 square metres and houses the jacuzzi, positioned to capture sunrise and sunset views across the water.
Seaviews Reserve sits directly on the beachfront in Carvajal, with communal facilities including a swimming pool, gym, spa, and landscaped gardens. The complex is 15 minutes' walk from Fuengirola Marina, where restaurants and shops line the waterfront promenade. Carvajal beach stretches along the development's southern boundary, accessible via a short path from the complex gates.

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