About this property

Overview

Lomas Unique A offers one and two-bedroom apartments that range from 62 to 94 square metres of built space, with terraces between 32 and 51 square metres. The smaller one-bedroom apartments suit single buyers or couples looking for a permanent home or a lock-up-and-leave base on the Costa del Sol. The larger two-bedroom units work for small families or for buyers who want a second bedroom for guests or home working. The generous terrace sizes mean outdoor space matches or exceeds the interior in most layouts, which suits year-round living in this climate but makes the apartments less practical for buyers who prefer conventional room proportions.

The development sits on the mountain side of the AP-7 motorway in Higueron, which gives it a hillside position with sea and mountain views but puts the coast itself at a distance. You can walk to Mercadona in 19 minutes or drive in five for weekly shopping. The beach and the marina are close enough for regular visits by car, but this is not a beachside project. The motorway location means straightforward access to Málaga Airport, a 31-minute drive, which suits buyers who travel frequently or rent the apartment to holidaymakers. The trade-off is road noise, which affects developments on this side of the AP-7 more than those on the coastal plain.

The setting works for buyers who want mountain-side tranquillity and views without giving up convenient links to the airport and main services. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the beach daily or avoid motorway proximity. Families with young children may find the hillside location less practical than a flat coastal neighbourhood with more amenities within walking distance.

Location

Higueron, Benalmádena

Location shown is the development site. This development is in HigueronBenalmádenaCosta del Sol.

Lomas Unique A is positioned above the AP-7, towards the mountains in Higueron. Málaga Airport is 14.3km away, a 31-minute drive, making it convenient for regular travellers. You can walk to Mercadona supermarket in 19 minutes, or drive there in 5 minutes for daily shopping. The location works well for buyers who value easy highway access and prefer hillside living away from the coast. This setup suits families and investors looking for a quieter mountain-side setting with straightforward connections to the airport and main services.

LOMAS UNIQUE A: Frequently Asked Questions

Terraces run from 32 to 51 square metres, which in most layouts matches or exceeds the indoor area. That proportion suits buyers who plan to use outdoor space daily in the mild Costa del Sol climate, but it means less conventional living space inside than you would find in a northern European apartment of the same total size.

Playa de Torreblanca is 1.1 kilometres away, about four minutes by car. The development sits inland of the AP-7 motorway on the hillside, so the beach is a drive rather than a walk. That suits buyers who visit the coast a few times a week but not those who want to walk to the sea every morning.

Apartments face the sea, mountains or garden and pool areas, with some offering panoramic views that take in more than one direction. The hillside position in Higueron gives higher vantage points than coastal plain developments, which is the main advantage of sitting inland of the motorway.

Málaga Airport is 14 kilometres away, about 31 minutes by car. The motorway location makes the journey straightforward, which suits buyers who travel often or let the apartment to holidaymakers who fly in for a week or two. The same motorway position brings road noise, so the airport convenience comes with a trade-off.

Mercadona supermarket is 1.5 kilometres away, a 19-minute walk or five minutes by car. The beach, marina and most other services need a car from this hillside location. The setting works for buyers who drive daily and want mountain views, but not for those hoping to manage without a car or walk to shops and restaurants regularly.

Buying off-plan in Higuerón 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.
