About Centro, Fuengirola
Fuengirola is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
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. In addition, allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately 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 this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and this is worth confirming with a local solicitor before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgage financing in Spain. Most lenders require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price from non-residents. Variable and fixed interest rates currently sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though this varies by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero for this property; we recommend confirming the final monthly figure with the developer, as this may change once the community is formally constituted. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new build. A basura (refuse collection) charge will also apply once assessed by the local authority. Your legal adviser can provide estimates based on comparable properties in La Calerita.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Fuengirola?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. A member of our team can walk you through the property and the development's communal areas via a live video call, and we can supply developer CGIs, floor plans, and site plans in advance. In-person viewings at the La Calerita development can be arranged on request.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Fuengirola is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, with demand for short-term holiday rentals and longer-term lettings from both international visitors and residents. A top-floor penthouse of this size in La Calerita may appeal to families or groups. To let a property for tourist purposes in Andalucía, owners must register with the regional authorities and obtain a tourist licence. We recommend taking independent rental and legal advice specific to this development before making any investment decision.
What does the purchase process involve for a new-build property in Spain?
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required by all foreign buyers. You will then typically pay a reservation fee to secure the unit, followed by a private purchase contract under which a further stage payment is made. For new builds, additional stage payments are often required during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
