Description

Set on a 673 m2 plot in El Higuerón, this new-build villa delivers 399 m2 of living space across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. A private solarium sits above the main structure, adding a further usable outdoor level to the property. The energy rating is G, which is typical for new villa construction in this part of Andalusia. The layout scale is rare at this price point on the Costa del Sol.El Higuerón occupies the hillside between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, directly above the Higuerón Hotel and its tennis and fitness facilities on Avenida del Higuerón. The coastal path connecting Fuengirola's Paseo Marítimo to Carvajal beach runs below the urbanisation, and the A-7 motorway slip road at Fuengirola East puts Málaga airport 20 minutes away. El Higuerón has established itself as one of the more recognised residential addresses on this stretch of the Costa del Sol, with a mix of contemporary villas and resort amenities within the same zone.At EUR 3,200,000, the price per m2 of built area is approximately EUR 8,020. No community fees are registered for this property. IBI has not yet been assessed as the build is new, and the annual figure will be confirmed by Fuengirola town hall following completion and registration. The energy certificate is rated G. As a new-build in Andalusia, the applicable purchase tax is IVA at 10 per cent rather than ITP, giving a tax liability of EUR 320,000 on the headline price.The 673 m2 plot provides space for a garden and pool area around the villa's ground floor, with the solarium terrace offering outdoor space on the upper level from a higher vantage point. Exact terrace dimensions and pool specifications should be confirmed with the developer, as this is an off-plan or newly completed build and final measurements are subject to the licencia de primera ocupación.

Frequently Asked Questions

What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA (VAT) applies at 10% instead of ITP transfer tax. On EUR 3,200,000 that equals EUR 320,000 in IVA. You should also allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT for independent legal representation. Total purchase costs are typically in the region of 11–12% on top of the sale price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is standard. On EUR 3,200,000 that implies a minimum deposit of around EUR 960,000–1,280,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the annual running costs for this villa?
No community fees are registered for this property. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed, as the villa is a new build and the rateable value will be set by Fuengirola town hall after completion and registration; as a guide, IBI on a villa of this size and value in Fuengirola often falls in the range of EUR 2,000–5,000 per year, but you should request a formal estimate from the developer. Waste collection (basura) charges have not been confirmed. Ask the agent for the latest information.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Contact OceanHome to schedule an in-person visit to the site or developer's show home. If you are outside Spain, a video viewing by video call can be arranged so you can review the property, plot, and surrounding area before travelling.
Is this villa suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón is a recognised tourist residential area on the Costa del Sol, and properties of this scale with a solarium and proximity to the Higuerón resort facilities do attract short-term holiday rental interest. A tourist rental licence (VFT) is required from the Junta de Andalucía before letting. Demand in this zone tends to be strongest from April to October. OceanHome can connect you with local rental management agents who can provide realistic occupancy and income projections based on current market data; we do not quote yield figures ourselves.
What is the purchase process for buying property in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit, typically EUR 6,000–10,000, is paid to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract follows, at which point a further deposit of around 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion day, when the title deed (escritura pública) is signed and ownership transfers formally. The process from reservation to completion on a new build can take several months depending on construction stage.
