About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Los Boliches, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence places you directly opposite the sand, metres from the Mediterranean shoreline where morning walks begin before the crowds arrive. The north-facing orientation delivers afternoon sun to the 8sqm terrace, a sheltered space for late-day drinks after hours spent by the water.
Inside, 82sqm of living space accommodates three bedrooms and one bathroom, with a fully fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes in each sleeping room. Air conditioning and central heating manage comfort across seasons, while double glazing reduces street noise from the urban setting behind the building. A covered terrace extends the usable area, and lift access serves all floors in this gated complex with entry phone security. The apartment comes fully furnished, ready for immediate use as a holiday base or rental investment.
Los Boliches beach sits directly in front of the building, with the promenade stretching 1.5km east to Fuengirola Marina. Cafés, supermarkets and the local market hall line the streets within a three-minute walk, and the Cercanías train station connects to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes. The building includes access for people with reduced mobility, with ground-floor entry eliminating stairs to the apartment entrance.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Los Boliches
Can foreigners buy property in Los Boliches?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Los Boliches. 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 Boliches?
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.
