Description
A 120 m² three-bedroom, two-bathroom new-build apartment in Puerto Deportivo occupies the lower-ground floor of a nine-storey building constructed in 1985. The apartment includes a terrace, access to a communal pool, a jacuzzi, and a sauna within the complex. A lift serves all floors, making the lower-ground position straightforward to access. The energy rating is G, which is typical for buildings of this era, and prospective buyers may wish to factor potential improvements into their plans.Puerto Deportivo is Fuengirola's marina district, centred on the working harbour along Paseo Marítimo Rey de España. The area is directly connected to Fuengirola's main beach strip and offers a wide range of restaurants, bars, and shops within easy walking distance. Fuengirola's weekly Friday market at Avenida Jesús Santos Rein, the town's train station on the Málaga-Fuengirola commuter line, and the local bus network all serve Puerto Deportivo well. Málaga Airport is approximately 20 minutes away by road.Estimated community fees are 100 EUR per month and the annual IBI (council tax) is 1,080 EUR. 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. 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, and this is worth checking before you budget. Puerto Deportivo's proximity to the marina and beach makes the apartment suitable for short-term holiday rental subject to obtaining the relevant Junta de Andalucía tourist licence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. Additional costs typically include notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though rates vary by lender and individual circumstances. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border financing.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at 100 EUR per month, covering maintenance of communal areas including the pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. The annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at 1,080 EUR. Please note these figures are estimated and may be subject to adjustment. Utility costs will depend on usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged at a time to suit you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to tour the apartment and ask questions in real time before committing to travel. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Puerto Deportivo is a tourist area with strong seasonal demand thanks to its marina location and beach access. The apartment could be suitable for holiday rentals, but owners must obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting on short-term platforms. We are not able to guarantee rental yields, as occupancy depends on management, platform, and market conditions.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a holding deposit to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further percentage of the price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title deed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to handle due diligence throughout.
