About this property

Overview

Benjamin's Dream is a group of three-bedroom townhouses in Calahonda, a stretch of the Costa del Sol coast between Marbella and Fuengirola. Built space runs from 157 to 169 square metres, and the terraces span 49 to 104 square metres, so some homes give you a balcony while others add a rooftop solarium. All three bedrooms are doubles, and you get two bathrooms. Each home has a courtyard and a private garage. The communal pool sits in landscaped gardens.

The location puts you on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway. Playa de Calahonda is a 17 minute walk. Carrefour supermarket is 10 minutes on foot, so you can manage weekly shops without a car. Fuengirola town centre takes 19 minutes to drive, Marbella 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Cabopino golf is 10 minutes away, and Puerto Cabopino marina is close for kayaking or paddleboarding. Málaga Airport is 40 minutes, which matters if you split time between countries.

The homes come with smart-home controls and energy-efficient systems. Some layouts include an extra room on the ground floor that works as a cinema room, office or music studio. The rooftop solariums on the larger homes face the sea and mountains, and you can fit an outdoor kitchen or lounge seating up there. The communal gardens are maintained for you, so outdoor space does not mean weekend chores.

This suits buyers who want a finished home rather than a flat, but do not want the isolation of a detached villa. The terrace sizes vary widely, so check the layout for the home you are considering. Calahonda itself is residential rather than a resort, so nightlife means a drive to Fuengirola or Marbella.

Benjamin's Dream: Frequently Asked Questions

Terraces range from 49 to 104 square metres, so the smaller homes have a balcony and courtyard while the larger ones add a rooftop solarium. Every home also has a courtyard at ground level. The solarium homes face the sea and mountains, and there is enough space for an outdoor kitchen or lounge area.

Playa de Calahonda is 1.4 kilometres away, which is a 17 minute walk. The development sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, so you do not have to cross a main road. A car is useful for other beaches along the coast, but this one is walkable for a morning swim or an evening stroll.

The Carrefour supermarket is 10 minutes on foot, so you can manage weekly shopping without a car. The beach is a 17 minute walk. Beyond that, Calahonda is residential rather than a resort, so restaurants, nightlife and other towns need a drive. Fuengirola takes 19 minutes by car, Marbella 10 minutes.

Málaga Airport is 28 kilometres away, about 40 minutes by car. That makes lock-up-and-leave practical if you split time between countries. The motorway access is straightforward, and the distance is short enough that early flights or late arrivals do not mean an overnight stay near the terminal.

St Anthony's College international school is 6.5 kilometres away in Mijas Costa, about 20 minutes by car. Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol is 10 kilometres, a 16 minute drive. Calahonda itself has local shops and a supermarket within walking distance, but most family errands need a car.

Buying off-plan in Calahonda 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.
