About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with mountain views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence commands a 60-square-metre private solarium terrace, a sun-drenched expanse that wraps around the property and delivers uninterrupted views across the surrounding peaks. The east, south and west orientation means natural light from sunrise through to evening, with the terrace offering genuine privacy for year-round outdoor living.
Inside, 118 square metres of living space includes three double bedrooms, each fitted with built-in wardrobes, and two en-suite bathrooms finished to a high standard. The open-plan kitchen integrates directly into the living area, creating a continuous space that amplifies the sense of volume and light. Air conditioning runs throughout every room, and the property comes fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation. Built in 2003 and maintained in excellent condition, the interior layout prioritises both flow and functionality without wasted corridor space.
The penthouse sits on a pedestrian street adjacent to Plaza de la Constitución, placing you 150 metres from Fuengirola's main square and its concentration of restaurants, shops and weekly markets. The setting combines central convenience with residential quiet, a rare balance in this part of the coast. Fuengirola Beach lies 400 metres south, a five-minute walk through the old town's grid of streets, while the train station connecting Málaga to Marbella is 600 metres north.

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.
