About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with fully renovated interiors in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. The 27-square-metre terrace features a bioclimatic pergola that adjusts to control sunlight throughout the day, creating a versatile outdoor space for dining or relaxation. A small storage room and water tap on the terrace add practical convenience to the outdoor area.
Inside, the 130-square-metre layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all finished to an excellent standard following the comprehensive refurbishment. The south-east and south-facing orientation fills the living spaces with natural light from morning through afternoon. Ground-floor access eliminates the need for stairs or lifts, whilst the 2006 construction year means the building benefits from modern standards without the premium attached to brand-new developments. The open-plan living area connects directly to the terrace, extending the usable space during the mild Costa del Sol seasons.
The property sits 400 metres from Fuengirola Beach, a four-minute walk to the sand. The train station and marina are equally close, placing restaurants, shops and transport links within immediate reach. This proximity to both the waterfront and central amenities makes daily life possible without a car, whilst the residential character of the surrounding streets maintains a quieter atmosphere than the beachfront itself. The terrace's pergola system means the outdoor space remains usable even during the midday heat of summer months.

Buying this penthouse 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.
