Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in the central district of Fuengirola, integrating directly into the city's infrastructure. The urban setting ensures proximity to essential services, while the distance to the coastline allows for easy sea access without being in a purely tourist zone. The surrounding area is characterized by a high density of residential and commercial activity.
The apartment layout maximizes the 78 m² of living space with distinct sleeping and living areas. The inclusion of a lift adds convenience for daily living. For residents prioritizing practicality, the location supports a car-free lifestyle for groceries and daily errands, given the close proximity to supermarkets and public transport links.
This is a completed property, categorized as 'Resale' with a 'Good' condition rating. It is available for immediate transfer. Unlike new developments, there is no construction phase involved, and the property is sold based on its current state and occupancy status.
This property is sold as an 'occupied property' (distressed), meaning the price reflects the current occupancy. Interior visits are impossible, and marketing photos may not represent the current physical state. Parking is street-only, as no private garage or space is included. The property is explicitly not suitable for buyers requiring mortgage financing.
This scenario fits experienced investors familiar with the Spanish legal process regarding occupied properties or cash buyers seeking a price-adjusted asset. It is not suitable for buyers seeking a turnkey home for immediate occupation or those requiring a viewing prior to purchase. The buyer must be prepared to manage the eviction process or accept the rental income/tenuation. It is a strategic acquisition rather than a lifestyle purchase.
The property is listed in 'Good' condition, implying structural soundness. Features include a covered terrace and basic utilities. Finishes are expected to be standard and dated, with potential renovations needed depending on personal taste. The 'occupied' status limits the ability to verify the condition of interiors personally.
The listing price starts at €161,500. This price point is positioned at the lower end of the market spectrum, specifically adjusted for the 'occupied' status of the home. It represents an entry-level opportunity in Fuengirola, excluding transfer taxes and fees. The financial profile is geared towards cash buyers or investors with capital ready for deployment.

Compared to new developments like Waterfall Residences (from €720k) or Astra Homes (from €364k), this property offers a significantly lower entry price. This discount compensates for the 'occupied' status and the lack of modern finishes found in new builds. Compared to Arosa in Mijas, this offers a city apartment experience rather than a luxury golf resort lifestyle.
