About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence in the new Higuerón South Residences spans 116 square metres of interior space and opens onto a 112-square-metre corner terrace that effectively doubles your living area. The defining feature is an ingenious movable wall connecting the master suite to the main living room, a floor-to-ceiling sliding partition that floods both spaces with natural light and frames uninterrupted views across the coastline.
The open-plan layout incorporates floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slide back to merge indoor and outdoor spaces completely. Clean-lined interiors use noble materials throughout, whilst the south-east to south-west orientation ensures sunlight from morning through evening. You get two full bathrooms, one parking space, and a storage room included. The covered corner terrace provides enough space for distinct dining and lounging zones, with sea views extending beyond the manicured gardens below.
Higuerón South Residences is a gated community with swimming pools, landscaped gardens, and 24-hour security, completed in 2025. The complex sits 2 kilometres from Fuengirola's marina and beachfront promenade, where you'll find the town's concentration of restaurants and shops. The Carvajal train station is a 10-minute walk, connecting you directly to Málaga Airport in 20 minutes or the city centre in 25.

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.
