New-build developments in Fuengirola

The town centre has the highest concentration, and new build there is almost entirely vertical. Los Boliches and Torreblanca come next, with a smaller presence in Carvajal, Los Pacos and Miramar. They are not interchangeable: the centre and Los Boliches are a step from the beach and the promenade, Torreblanca is higher up with views, and Carvajal sits on the border with Benalmádena. If you widen the search, Fuengirola and Mijas work almost as a single market, and many buyers end up visiting both.

An apartment, by a wide margin. New build in Fuengirola means height: two in three homes have a lift and you can count the private pools on one hand. There is the odd new-build house in the higher areas, but it is the exception. It is the opposite of Benalmádena, where the house with a plot and pool dominates, so it pays to be clear about what you want before comparing the two towns.

Both. Developments under construction are handed over in anything from a few months to two years, let you choose finishes and usually come in at a better price. Completed homes can be viewed and completed on without waiting, but they cost more and cannot be changed. They do not compete with each other: decide which one you need before you look, and we will filter just those for you.

New build does not pay Transfer Tax (ITP): it pays 10% VAT plus Stamp Duty (AJD), which in Andalusia has a general rate of 1.2%. In total, around 11.2% in taxes. On top of that come notary, land registry and administration fees, which are fixed charges that barely rise with the price. If you are buying from abroad you need an NIE and a Spanish bank account, and you can sign remotely with a power of attorney.

These are the rates in force in Andalusia at the date of this page and are given for guidance only: they do not replace tax advice. We will give you the exact figure for the property you are interested in before you sign anything.

Yes, with no restrictions at all. You need an NIE and a Spanish bank account, and the rest of the process can be done remotely. It is common: a good share of the homes in new-build developments in Fuengirola are sold to buyers from abroad, and we are with you from reservation to completion.
