About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This top-floor property has been renovated to create two completely independent living units within a single registered ownership, each with its own private entrance. The layout offers flexibility for dual occupancy or rental income generation whilst maintaining the convenience of unified ownership.
The main unit contains one bedroom, one bathroom, a guest toilet, and an open-plan kitchen that flows into the living area. The second unit mirrors this functionality with one bedroom and one bathroom. Both spaces open onto a 20sqm southwest-facing terrace where the sea views extend across the coastline. The 112sqm of built space has been fully furnished and finished to an excellent standard, with contemporary fixtures throughout both units. The property sits on the third floor with lift access, positioned on the third line from the beach between Fuengirola town centre and the Los Boliches neighbourhood.
The building stands 400 metres from Fuengirola Beach, placing the shoreline within a five-minute walk. The location between two established coastal districts means local amenities, restaurants, and the Fuengirola Marina are all within walking distance. The train station connecting Málaga Airport to Fuengirola stops 600 metres from the property, providing direct access to the wider Costa del Sol without requiring a car.

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.
