About this property

Overview

Top Views is a new development of 3-bedroom middle floor apartments for sale in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol, priced at €475,000. This is a compact scheme of 32 units in total, offering a range of one, two, and three-bedroom configurations, though the three-bedroom middle floor apartments represent the core offering at this price point. The project's primary differentiator is its positioning for panoramic views across Benalmádena Bay, a selling point that typically commands a premium in this segment of the coast. At €475,000 for a three-bedroom apartment with those views, the pricing sits below comparable bay-view developments in neighbouring Fuengirola or Torremolinos.

The three-bedroom middle floor apartments range from 124 to 128 m² of built space, each with two bathrooms. South-facing terraces average 20 m² and include both covered and uncovered sections, designed to maximise daylight and sea views. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and a gym with its own views, plus landscaped green areas. The supplier description emphasises functional layouts over architectural flourishes, which suggests a focus on maximising usable space rather than statement design. Penthouses within the same development feature larger terraces of around 100 m², though these are priced separately and fall outside the middle floor apartment category.

Benalmádena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, roughly 20 minutes by car from Málaga Airport via the A-7 coastal motorway. The town divides into three distinct zones: Benalmádena Pueblo (the original hilltop village), Arroyo de la Miel (the commercial centre), and Benalmádena Costa (the beachfront strip with the Puerto Marina). This development's bay views suggest an elevated position, likely closer to Arroyo de la Miel or the slopes above the coast rather than the beachfront itself. Buyers here tend to be a mix of northern European second-home owners and Spanish families relocating from inland cities for the climate and schools. The area attracts a slightly older demographic than Marbella or Estepona, with a well-established expat community and year-round services. Road access can be steep in parts, particularly if the development sits on the hillside above the main coastal road.

This is an off-plan or under-construction project. The standard Spanish payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and payment schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is essential, particularly for reviewing the purchase contract and verifying build guarantees. The 32-unit scale means this is a relatively small development by Costa del Sol standards, which may appeal to buyers seeking a more contained community rather than a large resort-style complex.

Top Views: Frequently Asked Questions

The price from €475,000 at Top Views includes the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. Each 3-bedroom apartment also comes with a private garden, so you get outdoor space as part of your purchase at this Benalmadena development.

Top Views is situated in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol, offering direct sea views from the apartments. The south-facing orientation means you'll get sunshine throughout the day, and the location gives you access to the coastal lifestyle that makes this area popular with both residents and investors.

Top Views offers 3-bedroom apartments ranging from 124 to 128 square metres in built size. This gives you a spacious middle-floor layout with enough room for families or those wanting dedicated home office space alongside living areas.

Yes, sea views are a key feature of Top Views, and the south-facing orientation of the apartments means you'll benefit from natural light and views throughout the day. The middle-floor positioning also helps maximize your sightlines across the Mediterranean from your private garden or balcony.

Top Views is expected to be completed in April 2026, so you're looking at approximately 18 months of construction time. This gives the developer, SP-8 SANTANGELO OESTE, a clear timeline to deliver the finished apartments to residents.

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.
