About this property

Overview

Fuente Lirios gives you Mediterranean-style apartments in the heart of Benahavís village itself, away from the coastal strip but close to schools and shops. The 28 homes range from compact two-bedroom apartments at 85 square metres to three-bedroom layouts at 128 square metres. Terrace sizes vary widely, from 11 square metres on smaller units to 101 square metres on the penthouses. South-east orientation means morning sun on the terraces, and views take in the mountains and the village rooftops. Each home has an underground parking space and access to a rooftop communal pool shared across the block.

The setting is residential Benahavís, a white village known for restaurants and a Spanish character that has survived the coast's development. You are 9 minutes from a Mercadona, 15 minutes from San Pedro Alcántara and 18 minutes from Puerto Banús marina. This is not a beachside location and you will drive to the coast, but the trade-off is a mountain backdrop, cooler air in summer and a neighbourhood that feels distinctly Spanish rather than international. Golf courses are 24 minutes away towards La Zagaleta, and The International School of Estepona is 13 minutes if you have children.

This suits buyers who want a foothold in Benahavís village without the expense of a villa, and who are content to drive for beach days and evening outings. The smaller two-bedroom layouts work for couples or as a lock-up-and-leave, while the three-bedroom units with larger terraces appeal to families who prioritise space over direct coastal access. The village location means you will hear local life rather than silence, and parking is underground rather than private, so this is not for buyers seeking total seclusion or car-free living.

Fuente Lirios: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 6.9 kilometres away, about 19 minutes by car. This is an inland village setting in the mountains, so you will drive for beach days rather than walk. The trade-off is cooler summer temperatures and a mountain backdrop instead of coastal views.

Built areas run from 85 to 128 square metres across two- and three-bedroom layouts. Terraces vary more noticeably, from 11 square metres on the smallest apartments to 101 square metres on the penthouses, so the outdoor space can be modest or substantial depending on which unit you choose.

The pool is communal, located on the rooftop and shared across the 28 apartments in the block. You will not have sole use or a maintenance responsibility, but you will not have private garden space either. Each home has a terrace for its own outdoor living.

The village centre is walkable for restaurants and local services, but the nearest supermarket is 4.2 kilometres away, about 9 minutes by car. This is a residential setting rather than a dense town, so you will need a car for weekly shopping, the coast and the international school run.

The orientation is south-east, which gives you morning sun on the terrace and shade by mid-afternoon in summer. Views look out over the village rooftops and the surrounding mountains rather than the sea, which is typical for Benahavís itself.

Buying off-plan in Benahavís means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
