About Los Boliches, Fuengirola
Playa de los Boliches is Fuengirola's most characterful beach district, centred around a tree-lined promenade and a traditional fishing quarter. It offers direct Cercanias train links to Malaga airport and Marbella, a thriving restaurant scene, and one of the coast's largest weekly street markets every Tuesday. The area is particularly popular with Scandinavian and British buyers.
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the autonomous region. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically 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 checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual lender terms vary. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The estimated community fee is 115 EUR per month, covering communal areas, the pool, gymnasium and lift maintenance. The estimated annual IBI (local property tax) is 3,000 EUR. Both figures are estimates and may be subject to adjustment. There is no basura (waste collection) figure available at this stage; please ask the agent for the latest information.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, allowing you to take a guided tour of the penthouse and the development via video call. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice. Contact us to book either option at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential for this penthouse?
Playa de los Boliches is a recognised tourist area with strong seasonal demand, particularly from May to October. Its position within 1 km of the beach and easy access to Málaga Airport make it attractive to short-term renters. A local property management agent can provide current market rental data specific to this neighbourhood. We do not quote yield percentages, as these depend on occupancy, management costs and your individual tax position.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once agreed, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a formal private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. For new builds, stage payments may apply during construction. The transaction completes before a notary, who registers the title with the land registry. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
