About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Higuerón, Costa del Sol. The 54sqm southwest-facing rooftop terrace defines this property, delivering afternoon and evening sunshine across a space large enough for multiple seating areas, an outdoor dining table for six, and a built-in jacuzzi. The terrace alone matches the size of many apartments in the area, and the orientation ensures you're using it long after neighbouring properties fall into shade.
Inside, the 85sqm layout includes two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and direct terrace access, and two bathrooms finished with underfloor heating and walk-in rainfall showers. The open-plan living area connects to a modern kitchen with integrated Bosch appliances, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors throughout the apartment maximise natural light and frame the coastal views. The property is part-furnished, includes one underground parking space, and is completed to an excellent standard with delivery scheduled for 2026.
Higuerón sits on elevated terrain between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, placing this penthouse 2.5 kilometres from Carvajal Beach and a seven-minute drive from the marina at Benalmádena Puerto. The development includes a communal swimming pool, and residents benefit from direct access to the Higuerón sports club, which features tennis courts, a spa, and multiple restaurants. Málaga Airport is 17 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway.

Buying this penthouse 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.
