Complete legal protection when you buy or sell property in Fuengirola — from the first reservation to the keys and the Land Registry.
Fuengirola has one of the busiest resale markets on the Costa del Sol, with a large British, Scandinavian and Irish community. Most purchases are apartments in community buildings — from Los Boliches and the Paseo Marítimo to Torreblanca, Carvajal and El Higuerón.
As your property lawyer for Fuengirola, Dolores Perujo checks the legal and community side of every flat before you commit, and handles the whole purchase or sale in English — just 15 minutes from our office in La Cala.
Also serving: Los Boliches, Torreblanca, Carvajal, Los Pacos, El Castillo, El Higuerón
Tell us briefly about your case. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
Thank you — we will be in touch within 24 hours.
Land Registry (nota simple), debts and charges, IBI, community fees, planning status and licences checked before you pay a cent.
We draft or review the reservation and the private purchase contract (arras), with clear deadlines and deposit protection.
NIE numbers, Spanish bank account and coordination with your bank or broker if you need a mortgage.
We prepare and attend the signing of the title deed (escritura) — in person with you, or on your behalf with power of attorney.
Transfer tax or VAT, notary and Land Registry, change of utilities and IBI into your name.
Plusvalía, the 3% non-resident retention, capital gains, mortgage cancellation and everything the buyer's lawyer will ask for.
We obtain the community debt certificate and read the latest minutes: lift replacements, façade works or pending lawsuits can mean large special levies (derramas) after you buy.
If you intend to let the property to tourists, we check the community statutes and the current rules for tourist-use homes (VUT) before you buy, not after.
Many Fuengirola blocks date from the 1970s and 80s. We check enclosed terraces, building inspections (ITE) and that the registered surface matches reality.

As a rule of thumb, budget 10–12% on top of the price for a resale purchase. Selling as a non-resident? The buyer must withhold 3% of the price on account of your capital gains tax, which we help you reclaim if it exceeds what you owe.
