About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Los Pacos, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence offers dual-aspect terraces totalling 33sqm, positioned on opposite sides of the 66sqm interior to capture sun throughout the day and deliver unobstructed views across the rooftops towards the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains.
Inside, the 66sqm layout accommodates two bedrooms and one bathroom, with a fully furnished specification included in the sale. The kitchen opens to the main living area, which connects directly to the front terrace where the private pool sits within the 20sqm external space. The rear terrace provides an alternative outdoor zone, useful for morning coffee or evening shade. Built in 2009, the property comes ready to occupy with all furnishings in place.
Los Pacos sits in the upper residential quarter of Fuengirola, where local shops, cafés, and services cluster within walking distance of the apartment. The complex-free position means no community fees for shared facilities, though the building itself maintains common areas. Fuengirola's main beachfront lies approximately 2km downhill, reachable in under ten minutes by car or a twenty-minute walk. The town centre and the Miramar Shopping Centre both sit within a similar radius, placing supermarkets, restaurants, and the commuter train line within easy reach of the penthouse.

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