Genuinely new stock is scarce inside Fuengirola proper — the centro and the seafront were largely built out decades ago — so most new-build sits on the town's edges: the modern blocks around Doña Sofía above the western seafront and the larger Higuerón developments climbing the hillside below the Sierra de Mijas, on the eastern edge between Fuengirola and Benalmádena. Both carry 10% IVA plus 1.2% AJD instead of resale ITP, putting all-in costs around 12 to 14 per cent. Off-plan here also adds a due-diligence layer — completion dates, the licence of first occupation, structural-warranty paperwork — that buying a 1980s centro flat does not, and we walk you through every step.
If you're new to this — or you've been searching the portals and want a second pair of eyes on a shortlist — start with a 30-minute call. The first conversation is free, with no obligation to engage further. We tell you what's realistic for your budget, what to watch out for in this segment, and whether we're the right fit.
