Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The apartment is positioned within Fuengirola's urban landscape, 658 metres from Playa de Fuengirola and 661 metres from Playa de San Francisco. The location provides direct access to the town's amenities including 212 restaurants and 36 pharmacies within a 2km radius. The development is situated at 15 metres above sea level with a moderate 3% slope towards the coastline.

Layout

The property accommodates practical living requirements with two well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The southwest-facing terrace extends the living space outdoors, offering views of both the sea and protected green belt. The apartment includes essential amenities such as air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, and access to a communal swimming pool. The property also provides one private garage space and a storage room.

Project Status

Originally constructed in 1970, the apartment has undergone significant modernisation to meet contemporary standards. The renovation included installation of wood-effect flooring, a modern white kitchen with high-quality appliances, and upgraded bathroom facilities with underfloor heating. The building itself is maintained to a high standard, with features such as a lift ensuring accessibility to the second-floor location.

Points of Attention

The apartment does not offer private garden space, as outdoor areas are communal. The 1970s construction means the building does not meet the latest energy efficiency standards of newly constructed properties. Parking is limited to one allocated space in the communal garage. The urban location means direct access to natural landscapes is limited to nearby beaches and parks rather than expansive natural areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the building's age from 1970 a concern for structural integrity?
The building has undergone significant modernisation, with updated systems and finishes. The 1970s construction in Spain typically involved solid concrete structures that remain structurally sound today. The apartment includes contemporary installations that bring it to current living standards.
How does one travel from the airport to the apartment?
Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 18km away, approximately 15-20 minutes by taxi or pre-booked transfer. Alternatively, the train connects directly from the airport to Fuengirola station, which is 500m from the apartment. Car hire services are available at the airport for those preferring to drive.
What are the monthly community fees and typical utility costs for this property?
Community fees vary based on services provided but typically range between €80-150 monthly for urbanisations with pools in Fuengirola. Utility costs depend on usage patterns; air conditioning and heating usage significantly impact electricity bills. Annual property tax (IBI) is based on the cadastral value, usually 0.4-1.1% of the assessed value.
How does this property's price compare to the Fuengirola market average?
At €749,000 for a 2-bedroom apartment, this property is above Fuengirola's average of approximately €2,500-3,000 per square metre, reflecting its prime location near the beach, modernised condition, and inclusion of premium upgrades. Similar comparable developments like Horizon36 start at €699,000, positioning this property in the upper-middle segment.
What communal facilities are available to residents?
Residents have access to communal swimming pools maintained within the complex. The building includes a lift providing access to the second-floor apartment. Additional sports facilities are available at the Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola, located 500m from the property, which includes tennis courts, fitness areas, and a public swimming pool.
What additional purchase costs should be expected beyond the listed price?
Property purchase in Spain typically incurs 10% VAT (IVA) for new properties or 8-11% transfer tax (ITP) for resale properties. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately €600-1,200), land registry fees (around 50% of notary fees), legal representation (1-2% of purchase price), and mortgage arrangement fees if applicable. These additional costs generally total 12-15% of the purchase price.
What is the purchasing process for a foreign buyer in Spain?
Foreign buyers first obtain a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number). A reservation deposit (typically €3,000-6,000) secures the property while legal checks are conducted. Private purchase contracts are signed within 2-4 weeks, usually requiring a 10% payment. Completion occurs within 1-3 months, with the remaining balance paid before signing the title deed at the notary. The entire process typically takes 6-10 weeks.
Does the location become overcrowded during peak tourist season?
Fuengirola experiences increased tourism during summer months, particularly July and August. Beach areas and restaurants see higher occupancy, but the town's residential infrastructure prevents the complete seasonal shutdown seen in smaller resorts. The apartment's location provides access to both tourist amenities and residential areas, allowing residents to choose their preferred level of engagement with seasonal visitors.
