About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. The south-facing terrace captures both urban panoramas and glimpses of the Mediterranean, whilst the open-plan kitchen flows directly into the living room to create a single social space flooded with natural light. Recent renovations have brought air conditioning and contemporary finishes throughout, including walk-in showers in both bathrooms.
The 80sqm layout accommodates three bedrooms with enough separation for family use or guest accommodation, and the part-furnished specification allows you to bring your own character to the main rooms. High ceilings typical of the 1976 construction add volume to the living areas, and the south orientation ensures warmth even in winter months. The 6sqm terrace extends the usable space for morning coffee or evening meals, with mountain silhouettes visible to the north when you turn from the sea view.
The building sits in central Fuengirola within a five-minute walk of the train station, placing Málaga Airport 25 minutes away by rail and the beachfront promenade roughly eight minutes on foot. Supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants occupy the surrounding streets, and Los Boliches beach stretches along the coast 600 metres to the south-west. The absence of a communal pool keeps service charges lower, whilst the pedestrianised shopping streets of Calle Moncayo lie two blocks 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.
