Yes, it still applies. You can make a late declaration but I couldn't say how much the fine (if any) is.
You will also probably also have to ascertain the value of the house if you haven't already, but the inheritance lawyer will advise you more about it.
Your usual gestor which does the yearly tax return might be out of their depth, you may need to go searching for a inheritance lawyer with international experience given the difference in how inheritance works in Spain and the UK.

If you are inheriting assets from UK you will need to do the following. First you need the death certificate apostilled in UK and officially translated into Spanish. You will need the same done to the Grant of Probate. These are the two essential documents. You can ask for an extension before the 6 month period but only after 5 months then you get an extra 6 months. After this you pay fines. However given that AndalucÃa ( and now Valencia) has a 99% reduction most tax bills are not that large so the fine is not too bad- and often cannot be avoided as UK probate is often a year or more. Once you have the two documents ( the Will does not need to apostilled or translated as it is effectively in the Grant of Probate) you then have to present documentation that you have funds or new deeds to property ( these do not need to be officially translated). A good lawyer should give you the same advice as this ( roughly) if they don't you need another

p.s. I have just been informed by my Inheritance Lawyer, that I must add my Inheritance of part ownership of my dads house in my 720 form for wealth tax. As well as, get all paperwork done thats needed, as you stated. He said I might be fined but it will be a small fine of around 250 to 300euros. If they do fine me, it is small because tenically in Anderluthia, and being his daughter, there is 0% Inheritance tax for me to pay. Happy days 😃.
