About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This semi-detached property spreads across three floors with 147 square metres of internal space and 33 square metres of terracing.
The ground floor opens with two large entrance terraces that flood the interior with natural light, leading to a separate fully equipped kitchen with dining area, a spacious living room, and a shower room. Upstairs, two bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes alongside two full bathrooms and a dressing room, whilst the top floor holds the third bedroom, an additional bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room. The property includes one parking space and remains in excellent condition despite its 1981 construction date.
The layout maximises vertical space across its three storeys, with each level serving distinct functions. The kitchen operates independently from the living areas, ideal for households that prefer traditional room separation. Built-in wardrobes in the two second-floor bedrooms provide substantial storage without compromising floor space. The north-east orientation ensures morning sunlight reaches the entrance terraces, which serve as outdoor extensions to the ground floor living areas. Three and a half bathrooms across three bedrooms means minimal queue time during morning routines.
El Pueblo Lopez sits in central Fuengirola, a small residential development surrounded by local shops, restaurants, and services. The property stands metres from Fuengirola train station, connecting residents to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes and the city centre in 35 minutes. The terraces overlook the surrounding neighbourhood rather than distant views, keeping the focus on the immediate community and accessible urban conveniences.

9 questions answered
Buying this townhouse 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.
