About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment in Los Boliches, Costa del Sol, positioned 50 metres from the train station with direct rail links along the coast. This 80-square-metre residence offers immediate connectivity for commuters and travellers, with Málaga Airport reachable in under 20 minutes and Fuengirola town centre two stops away.
The layout includes three separate bedrooms, one bathroom, and an independent kitchen that occupies its own dedicated space rather than opening onto the living area. A four-square-metre terrace extends from the main living space, whilst a separate laundry patio provides outdoor utility space for drying and storage. The property comes fully furnished and sits on the first floor with lift access. Built in 1971, the 80-square-metre interior has been maintained in excellent condition throughout its five decades.
Los Boliches train station sits directly outside, offering half-hourly services to Fuengirola Marina, 1.2 kilometres southwest, where the fishing harbour meets a promenade lined with seafood restaurants. The beach lies 400 metres south on foot, accessible via Calle de la Cruz, whilst Carvajal Beach stretches along the shoreline immediately east of the station.

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.
