About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. Direct beach access defines this ground-floor residence, where the sand sits just metres from a 290-square-metre private terrace that wraps around the living spaces. The east, south-east and south orientation delivers sunrise views over the Mediterranean and natural light throughout the day, while the terrace's scale accommodates multiple seating areas, outdoor dining and lounging zones that face both the sea and the mountains beyond.
Inside, 140 square metres of renovated living space includes three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, each opening onto the terrace. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, with a second full bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms and guests. A separate kitchen provides dedicated cooking space, while electric shutters and air conditioning add climate control across the property. The residence comes fully furnished and includes one allocated parking space within the gated complex.
Parque Doña Sofía sits directly on Fuengirola's beachfront, with the promenade running immediately adjacent to the complex. The gated development provides 24-hour security, concierge services and landscaped gardens that lead to the beach. Fuengirola town centre lies 1.5 kilometres along the coast, accessible via the seafront path in a 15-minute walk, placing shops, restaurants and the marina within easy reach. The property's ground-floor position eliminates the need for lifts or stairs when carrying beach equipment or shopping from the car park.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment 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.
