About this property

Overview

Fuente Lirios is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom middle floor apartments for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced from €395,000 to €890,000. The project comprises just 28 units, making it a relatively small-scale release for an area where larger gated communities dominate the new build market. Mediterranean-style architecture positions this as a traditional Andalusian proposition rather than a contemporary glass-and-steel scheme, which may appeal to buyers seeking a more established aesthetic in a village setting. The development sits in the heart of Benahavis itself, not on the outskirts or in a golf resort enclave, which places daily amenities within walking distance.

Built sizes range from 85 to 128 m² across the two and three-bedroom layouts, with all units configured as middle floor apartments. Each home includes two bathrooms and comes with a private underground parking space. A communal rooftop pool serves all residents. The developer specifies high-quality materials and contemporary interior design, with pre-installation for electric vehicle charging points included in every unit. No ground floor or penthouse options are available within this release, so buyers seeking direct garden access or private rooftop terraces will need to look elsewhere.

Benahavis village attracts a mix of permanent residents and second-home buyers who prioritise proximity to golf courses without committing to a resort-based lifestyle. San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús marina are both 15 minutes by car, placing the project within reasonable reach of coastal amenities and international schools. Several of the Costa del Sol's established golf courses lie within a 5-minute drive. The village itself sits inland at the foothills of the Serranía de Ronda, with the Guadalmina River running nearby, so this is not a beachfront or sea-view location. Road access involves navigating the winding approach into Benahavis, which some buyers find inconvenient during peak summer traffic, though others value the separation from the coastal density.

This is an off-plan project with construction scheduled to begin in May 2025 and completion targeted for April 2027. The development has already secured its construction licence. Standard Spanish new build payment terms apply: an initial reservation deposit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts and payment structures before committing. Buyers should verify whether service charges will cover rooftop pool maintenance or whether a separate community fee structure applies once the development is handed over.

Fuente Lirios: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Fuente Lirios covers the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. All apartments come with a private garden space, and the south-facing orientation means you'll get excellent natural light throughout the day. The exact inclusions can vary slightly between the 2 and 3 bedroom options, so it's worth checking the specific unit details.

Fuente Lirios is situated in Benahavis on the Costa del Sol, a sought-after area known for its proximity to both the coast and upland villages. The location gives you easy access to local amenities, restaurants, and golf courses while maintaining a quieter residential feel compared to beachfront developments. Benahavis itself is well-connected to other Costa del Sol destinations like Marbella and Estepona.

Fuente Lirios offers 2 and 3 bedroom apartments ranging from 85 m² up to 128 m² in built size. The 2 bedroom units start at €395,000, while the larger 3 bedroom apartments reach up to €890,000. Each size option is designed to maximize space and comfort with the south-facing aspect that all units at Fuente Lirios benefit from.

Every apartment at Fuente Lirios has a south-facing orientation, which means maximum sunshine throughout the day and naturally warmer interiors, especially important during winter months on the Costa del Sol. This orientation also enhances the value of your private garden space, making it more usable for outdoor living. The south-facing aspect is one of the key selling points that distinguishes Fuente Lirios from other developments in the area.

Fuente Lirios is expected to be completed in April 2027, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your apartment. This allows time for quality construction and finishing touches across all the units in the development. Current availability means you can still select your preferred unit and location within the project.

Buying off-plan in Benahavis 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.
