Why Buy an Apartment?
Apartments are the most popular choice for overseas buyers, especially those buying a second home or investment property. Lower entry price, less maintenance, and communal pools mean they're easier to lock-up-and-leave.
For rental investors, apartments in tourist-heavy areas (especially beachfront) can generate 5–7% gross yields with good occupancy from April to October.
Key Considerations
- Community fees: Budget €100–€400/month for maintenance, pool, and security costs.
- Tourist licences: Not all apartments qualify. Check before buying if holiday rental income is important.
- IBI (local tax): Typically €200–€600/year for an apartment.
- Age of building: Pre-2000 buildings may need structural or aesthetic updates. New builds cost more but have lower maintenance.
Best Areas for Apartments
- Fuengirola: Best value beach apartments. 20 mins from airport.
- Marbella & Puerto Banús: Premium locations, strong rental demand.
- Estepona: Charming town, growing new-build market, good value.
- Costa Blanca: Budget buyers — apartments from €65,000 in Torrevieja.
