About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence, scheduled for completion in 2026, delivers 120 square metres of open-plan living space plus a 30-square-metre terrace oriented east to capture morning light. The private rooftop pool turns the outdoor area into a genuine extension of the living quarters rather than an occasional amenity.
The kitchen arrives partially equipped with integrated appliances and connects directly to the lounge without corridors or dividing walls. Both bedrooms qualify as doubles, with the master suite featuring fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom alongside the second full bathroom. Pre-installed air conditioning runs throughout, and the sale includes one underground parking space. The property comes fully furnished to a contemporary specification, eliminating the need for separate procurement.
Fuengirola's Torreblanca district positions the building 2.5 kilometres from Fuengirola Marina and its concentration of waterfront restaurants. The town centre sits within a 10-minute drive, whilst Málaga Airport lies 25 kilometres northeast along the A-7 coastal motorway. Local beaches stretch along a continuous promenade system that connects to neighbouring Benalmádena, and the eastern orientation means the terrace avoids the intensity of afternoon sun during July and August. The underground parking allocation includes secure access and sufficient ceiling height for standard SUVs.

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.
