About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Higuerón, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence delivers uninterrupted Mediterranean panoramas from a 45-square-metre terrace that stretches the width of the living space, offering both covered and open-air zones for year-round outdoor living.
Inside, 123 square metres of built space includes an open-plan kitchen and living area with floor-to-ceiling windows, three double bedrooms, and two bathrooms fitted with walk-in showers and wall-hung sanitaryware. Underfloor heating runs throughout the apartment, complemented by integrated air conditioning and automated electric blinds across all rooms. The principal bedroom opens directly onto the terrace. One underground parking space and an eight-square-metre storage room are included in the sale, and the property holds a valid tourist rental licence for flexible income generation.
The apartment sits within Higuerón West, a gated development with communal swimming pools and landscaped gardens. Carvajal beach lies 1.2 kilometres downhill, reachable on foot in 15 minutes or by car in three. The Higuerón train station connects directly to Málaga city centre in 20 minutes and Fuengirola in five. Completion took place in 2023, and the current condition reflects minimal use since handover.

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