About this property

Overview

Villa Irıs is a new development of 3-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, priced at €1,575,000. This is a single-villa project positioned on elevated land in the hills above Benalmadena, designed specifically to capture direct Mediterranean Sea views from the main living spaces and all three bedrooms. At this price point, the development targets buyers seeking a standalone property with privacy and outdoor space, rather than an apartment or townhouse within a larger community. The hillside position means the villa sits above the coastal development band, offering unobstructed sightlines to the sea.

The villa provides 243 m² of built space across an open-plan layout. All three bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms, and the design centres on floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the main living and dining area to maximise natural light and sea views. The kitchen is integrated into the open-plan ground floor, fitted with contemporary appliances. Outside, the villa includes a private garden and swimming pool. No communal facilities are included, as this is a standalone property rather than a gated community development. The architecture prioritises the view corridor, with the principal rooms oriented towards the Mediterranean.

Benalmadena divides into three distinct zones: the traditional pueblo inland, the coastal strip of Arroyo de la Miel, and the beachfront area of Benalmadena Costa. This villa sits in the hillside residential zone between the pueblo and the coast, 1.9 km from the beach. Torrequebrada Golf Course is 5.9 km away, and Malaga Airport is 21 km to the east, roughly a 20-minute drive in normal traffic. The town attracts a mix of permanent residents, including Northern European retirees, and second-home buyers who value proximity to Malaga without Marbella pricing. The hillside location delivers the sea view but requires a car for daily errands, as shops, restaurants, and services are concentrated in the lower coastal areas. Benalmadena has a well-established international community and year-round amenities, which supports rental demand if the property is used as an investment.

The development status is not confirmed in the available data, so buyers should verify with the developer whether this is an off-plan project, under construction, or completed and ready for immediate occupation. Standard Spanish new build transactions typically require a reservation deposit to secure the property, followed by stage payments during construction if applicable, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All payment schedules and timelines must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is essential to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and ensure all payments are protected under Spanish property law. The 21 km distance to Malaga Airport makes this villa accessible for international owners who split their time between Spain and Northern Europe.

Villa Irıs is expected to be completed by August 31, 2025, giving you a clear timeline for your investment. This completion date allows you to plan your move to this beachside property in Benalmadena.

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.
