Properties for Sale in Fuengirola

As a fully developed city, Fuengirola offers a wide spectrum of properties, particularly in its distinct neighbourhoods like the bustling Centre, the popular Los Boliches, and the quieter hillside area of Torreblanca.

• Apartments: This is the most common property type. You can find everything from compact studios to large penthouses. Frontline beach apartments along the Paseo Marítimo are highly sought after, as are properties in the town centre and Los Boliches for their proximity to shops and the train line.
• Townhouses: While less common than apartments, townhouses can be found in residential areas, particularly in Torreblanca and on the outskirts of the city, offering more space for families.
• Villas: Independent villas are primarily located on the hillsides of Torreblanca and in other residential areas away from the dense city centre, often providing excellent sea views and more privacy.

Fuengirola offers a broad and generally more accessible price range compared to the Marbella area, making it very popular with a wide range of buyers. As of mid-2025, you can expect the following approximate price ranges:

• 2-Bedroom Apartments: €220,000 – €600,000+. The lower end represents properties further from the beach, while the higher end is for prime frontline beach or fully renovated apartments in top locations.
• Townhouses: €350,000 – €700,000+
• Villas: Starting from around €600,000 on the hillsides and increasing significantly based on size, location, and views.

Yes, absolutely. Spain’s property laws place no restrictions on ownership based on nationality. The purchase process is identical for everyone.

For higher-end properties, the Spanish "Golden Visa" program is an option. An investment of €500,000 or more in real estate can qualify non-EU citizens for a residency permit, allowing them and their family to live in Spain and travel freely within the Schengen Area.

You must budget for an additional 10% to 14% of the property's purchase price to cover all taxes and fees. In Fuengirola, the vast majority of transactions are for resale properties.

• Property Transfer Tax (ITP - Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales): In Andalusia, this is a flat 7% of the purchase price.
• Notary Fees: Varies with the price, typically between €800 and €2,000.
• Land Registry Fees: Similar to notary fees, generally €600 – €2,000.
• Legal Fees: Usually 1% of the purchase price, plus 21% VAT on the legal fee itself.

Spanish banks typically lend up to 70 % of the purchase price to non-resident buyers (sometimes 80 % for EU citizens). Mortgage terms of 20–25 years are common; interest rates vary with the Euribor benchmark.

For developments with shared facilities (pools, gardens, gyms), expect €60 – €200 per month, depending on amenities and property size.

From making an offer to getting keys in hand typically takes 6–10 weeks, assuming financing and paperwork proceed smoothly.

• Visit in different seasons to gauge climate and community.
• Budget a 10 % contingency for unexpected costs.
• Hire an independent lawyer (abogado) to review contracts.
• Consider resale potential—properties with sea views and proximity to golf often hold value best.
