About Reserva del Higuerón, Fuengirola
Reserva del Higueron is an exclusive hillside enclave above Fuengirola, centred around the award-winning Higueron Hotel and its world-class sports and wellness facilities.

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, expect 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 it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents in Spain generally range from around 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though your specific rate will depend on the lender, your financial profile, and the loan term. We recommend obtaining an independent mortgage quote before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 140 per month. The annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at EUR 2,140. These are estimated figures based on current data. You should also allow for home insurance and utility costs, which will vary with usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at the development or via a video call if you are not yet in Spain. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
Does this property have rental potential?
Reserva del Higuerón is a resort-adjacent neighbourhood with demand from short-stay visitors to the Higuerón facilities and the wider Costa del Sol. A tourist rental licence is required to let legally on a short-term basis in Andalucía, and approval is not guaranteed for all properties or developments. Ask the agent to confirm the licensing position for this specific unit before making plans based on rental income.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need to obtain a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is usually paid. On completion, the deed is signed before a Spanish notary and the balance is transferred. For new builds, completion may follow a construction timeline. Independent legal advice from a Spanish property solicitor is strongly recommended throughout.
