About this property

Overview

The Palm 11 is a single seven-bedroom villa on a 1,910 square metre plot in Benalmadena, built to 824 square metres with another 391 square metres of terrace. This is a substantial family house with space for three generations or for owners who need separate guest accommodation and home offices. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the layout spreads across multiple levels to follow the slope.

The plot sits above the AP-7 motorway on the hillside between the coast and the mountains, which puts you 828 metres from Playa de Torreblanca. That is a ten minute walk downhill or a four minute drive. The beach is close enough for daily use, but you are far enough back to avoid the density and noise of the seafront. The east orientation means morning light and views over the bay towards Fuengirola. Málaga Airport is thirty minutes by car. Mercadona is four minutes away, and The British College is a ten minute drive, which makes this workable for families with school-age children.

You have a private pool and garden on a plot this size, and the terraces are large enough to use year-round. The surroundings are quieter than the beachfront developments, with forest nearby and less through traffic, but you are still close to shops and the coast. This suits buyers who want a large villa with sea views and space for family or guests, without being on top of the beach. The motorway runs below the property, which brings road noise depending on wind and time of day, something to check in person.

The Palm 11: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is 828 metres away, which is a ten minute walk downhill or a four minute drive. The slope means the return journey is easier by car, but the beach is close enough for daily use without needing to drive every time.

Yes. The 1,910 square metre plot gives you a private pool and garden with 391 square metres of terrace. You maintain it yourself or hire help, but you do not share the space or pay communal fees for a gardener.

The British College is 2.4 kilometres away, a ten minute drive. Hospital Vithas Xanit International is four kilometres, about ten minutes by car. A supermarket is 1.2 kilometres, four minutes away. Benalmadena has the infrastructure for year-round family living.

East. You get morning sun and views over the bay towards Fuengirola, but the terrace is in shade by mid-afternoon. The orientation suits early risers and keeps the house cooler in summer.

Schools, healthcare, the marina and golf are all between four and thirteen minutes by car. The supermarket and beach are walkable, but the hillside slope means most daily errands are easier with a car. This is not a pedestrian neighbourhood.

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.
