About this property

Overview

Mosher Collection brings 44 apartments to Rancho Domingo, a gated hillside enclave above Benalmádena where privacy and low-density building come ahead of resort-style communal amenities. The homes sit between two and three bedrooms, spanning 96 to 155 square metres of built space. At the smaller end, you get a layout suited to a couple or remote worker wanting a permanent base with room for guests. The larger three-bedroom units work for families or buyers who plan to spend several months a year here and want proper separation between living and sleeping zones. The buildings follow the slope rather than flatten it, which preserves open views toward the sea and keeps the density low.

Rancho Domingo itself sits inland from the coast, halfway up the hillside between Benalmádena Pueblo and the Torrequebrada golf course. You are a ten-minute drive from the beach at Torrequebrada and fifteen minutes from Málaga airport. Benalmádena Pueblo, with its whitewashed centre and local shops, is close enough for errands on foot if you don't mind the gradient. For supermarkets, international schools and the marina, you will need a car. The location suits buyers who want a quieter, more residential setting than the beachfront strips, but it does mean you are driving most days, and the immediate surroundings are other gated communities rather than walkable streets.

The development is small and the communal facilities reflect that. This is not a resort complex. It works well for buyers who value privacy and views over on-site leisure, and for families who want space, a calm neighbourhood and proximity to the British and international schools clustered around Benalmádena and Torremolinos. It does not suit anyone hoping to live without a car or those who want to be within walking distance of cafes and the coast.

MOSHER COLLECTION: Frequently Asked Questions

Built space runs from 96 to 155 square metres. The two-bedroom homes work for couples or singles wanting a permanent base with a guest room, while the three-bedroom units give families or long-stay owners separate living and sleeping zones. The size range is wide enough that you can choose the layout that fits how you plan to use the home.

Torrequebrada beach is a ten-minute drive. The development sits halfway up the hillside above Benalmádena, which gives you open sea views but puts you inland from the coast. The slope and the distance mean the beach is not a walk, and you will need a car for most trips down to the shore.

The whitewashed centre of Benalmádena Pueblo is close enough to walk for errands if you are comfortable with the gradient. For supermarkets, the marina and international schools, you will be driving. Rancho Domingo favours a quiet, residential hillside setting over immediate walkable amenities, so daily life here assumes car ownership.

Yes, particularly families with school-age children. The larger three-bedroom layouts give space, the gated neighbourhood is calm and low-density, and the British and international schools around Benalmádena and Torremolinos are a short drive. The trade-off is that children cannot walk to friends or activities, and you will spend time in the car.

Fifteen minutes by car. The proximity suits lock-up-and-leave owners who want a quick turnaround between landing and opening the door, and it keeps transfer costs low if you rent the home out. Road noise is not an issue at this distance, and the hillside position means flight paths do not affect the setting.

Buying off-plan in Benalmádena 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.
