The complex is within comfortable walking distance of the Carvajal commuter rail stop, which connects directly to Málaga city centre in around 30 minutes.

The complex includes 82 units across apartments, ground-floor properties and penthouses, giving the building a mixed residential character rather than a purely holiday-let profile, though Carvajal's proximity to the beach and rail link makes it a credible short-term rental location.The penthouse level includes a private solarium, extending the usable outdoor area above the main living space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for independent legal advice. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though most lenders cap the loan-to-value at 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Variable and fixed interest rates at Spanish lenders currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER, though these move with market conditions. An independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market can help you compare products before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as zero; buyers must verify this directly with the developer, as service charge structures are often confirmed closer to handover for new-build properties. IBI (annual local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be set by the Fuengirola town hall once the property is registered. Waste collection (basura) charges will also be confirmed post-registration. The energy rating is G, so heating and cooling costs are likely to be higher than a property with a better-rated certificate.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to see the development, the surrounding area and any show apartment or specification boards. This is a good option if you are not yet in Spain. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice; please contact us to book either format.
What is the rental potential of this penthouse?
Carvajal is a coastal district with direct rail access to Málaga and within walking distance of the beach, which supports demand for short-term holiday lets during the summer season as well as longer winter rentals from northern European visitors. As a new-build with home automation, air conditioning and a private solarium, the property is well-specified for the rental market. Actual yields depend on occupancy, management costs and local licensing conditions — we recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for current market data before making assumptions.
What does the purchase process look like?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number) — your solicitor can apply for this on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado de compraventa), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. For new builds, further stage payments are often tied to construction milestones. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title with the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before you sign anything.
