About Centro, Fuengirola
Fuengirola is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a resale in Andalucía, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 7% of the purchase price. On top of that, allow for notary fees of roughly 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 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 from Spanish lenders generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% per annum, though your own rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. An independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border lending can help you compare options.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at 700 EUR. Community fees are estimated at 95 EUR per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, solarium, gymnasium and shared areas. These are estimated figures. Utility costs — electricity, water and internet — will vary depending on your usage and provider.
How can I arrange a viewing?
You can request an in-person viewing through OceanHome at a time convenient for you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings so you can see the property, the communal areas and the surrounding El Tejar neighbourhood before travelling. Contact us to arrange either option.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
El Tejar sits within Fuengirola, a well-established destination on the Costa del Sol with consistent tourist demand throughout the year. The combination of sea views, a communal pool and a 20-minute transfer to Málaga Airport makes this apartment practical for short-term holiday letting. You will need a regional tourist licence to let legally; your solicitor can advise on the application process and any local restrictions that apply.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the agreed price is paid and both parties are bound. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are settled and the title deeds are transferred into your name.
