About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This 198sqm residence occupies an elevated position with a 154sqm terrace spanning two aspects, south and southwest facing, capturing Mediterranean panoramas alongside mountain backdrops. The terrace alone provides more outdoor space than most comparable properties offer in total living area.
Inside, the layout includes three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, two bathrooms finished with marble flooring, and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Air conditioning runs throughout with independent hot and cold controls in each room. Double glazing and fibre optic connectivity come as standard. A lift services all floors, and the property includes access provisions for people with reduced mobility. The penthouse is sold fully furnished with quality pieces selected to complement the coastal setting. One communal parking space is allocated to the property.
The building sits within a gated complex with 24-hour security, entry phone system, and communal pool and gardens. Fuengirola's beachfront promenade lies 400 metres south, a six-minute walk through the town's grid of residential streets. The port and marina sit equidistant to the west, with the commercial centre and transport links clustered around the central square within 500 metres. The complex provides ground-floor positioning with lift access to all levels, unusual for a penthouse configuration in this part of the Costa del Sol.

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.
