About this property

Overview

The Bay 7 is a new development of 5-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, priced at €2,950,000. This is a single-villa project, not a multi-unit scheme, which means no shared walls, no community fees beyond basic municipal charges, and full autonomy over external modifications subject to planning consent. The architectural approach centres on organic forms rather than the rectilinear modernism common to most Costa del Sol new builds, with curved lines and a white-and-timber material palette intended to soften the visual impact against the hillside.

Each villa measures 504 m² across five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The supplier description references sea views, which in Benalmadena typically means elevated positioning above the coastal plain, though the specific plot location and view angles are not detailed in the available data. A private pool is included. Parking provision is not confirmed in the technical specification, which is unusual at this price point and should be clarified directly with the developer before reservation. The white render and timber detailing mentioned in the supplier notes suggest a contemporary aesthetic, though without floor plans or interior specifications it is difficult to assess layout efficiency or whether the 504 m² includes covered terraces.

Benalmadena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, approximately 19 kilometres west of Malaga Airport, a 20-minute drive in normal traffic. The municipality divides into three distinct zones: Benalmadena Pueblo (the inland village), Arroyo de la Miel (the commercial centre), and Benalmadena Costa (the beachfront strip). Buyers at this price level are typically northern European second-home owners or retirees seeking year-round sun with airport proximity, though the town skews more budget-focused than Marbella or Estepona, which makes a €2.95 million villa an outlier in the local market. Resale liquidity at this price may be slower than in more established luxury postcodes. The area offers reliable infrastructure, including the Xanit International Hospital in nearby Benalmadena Costa and several international schools within a 15-minute radius, but it lacks the marina culture and fine dining density of Puerto Banus or Sotogrande.

This is an off-plan project. Spanish new build purchases typically require a reservation deposit of €6,000 to €10,000, followed by a private purchase contract with a deposit of 20 to 30 per cent, stage payments during construction tied to completion milestones, and the balance transferred on completion when keys are handed over. All amounts and schedules must be confirmed with the developer. Independent legal representation is essential, particularly to verify planning permissions, structural guarantees, and completion insurance. At this price, buyers should also commission a quantity surveyor to review specifications against comparable local stock before committing funds.

The Bay 7 is currently under construction as an off-plan project. For the specific completion date and current construction timeline, please contact our sales team directly as this information is updated regularly.

Buying off-plan in Benalmadena 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.
