About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This south-west-facing duplex spans 87 square metres inside and commands 80 square metres of private terrace across two levels, delivering uninterrupted views over the Mediterranean and the Mijas Mountains. The rooftop terrace alone measures 45 square metres.
The open-plan living area opens directly onto a 34-square-metre partially covered terrace, extending the usable space for year-round outdoor dining. Both bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms. The property is fully furnished and finished to 2024 specification, with the upper terrace positioned to capture both sunrise and sunset angles. One underground parking space is included. The layout separates the sleeping quarters from the social areas, with the master suite accessing the main terrace and the second bedroom oriented towards the mountain backdrop.
Higuerón West is a gated eco-resort with 24-hour security, communal pools, spa facilities, tennis and padel courts, landscaped gardens, and a gym. The complex sits 1.2 kilometres from Carvajal Beach, reachable in under 15 minutes on foot via the resort's internal pathways. Fuengirola town centre lies three kilometres north, and the Higuerón train station connects directly to Málaga Airport in 20 minutes. The development occupies elevated ground within a protected green belt, limiting future construction in the immediate surroundings.

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