About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with sea views in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol. This west-facing property spans 93 square metres of built space and opens onto a 15-square-metre terrace where the afternoon light catches the Mediterranean horizon. The interior has been fully renovated to a contemporary standard, with clean lines and modern finishes throughout both bathrooms.
The open-plan living area connects directly to the terrace, creating an extended entertaining space that works equally well for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The kitchen features integrated appliances and sleek cabinetry, whilst the bedroom is separated from the main living zone to maintain privacy. Both bathrooms have been fitted with modern fixtures, and the apartment benefits from excellent natural light thanks to its westerly aspect. At 93 square metres built, the layout offers generous proportions for a one-bedroom property, with defined spaces that avoid the cramped feel common in coastal apartments of this size.
The apartment sits within Isla Poniente, a private complex with communal pool, landscaped gardens and spa facilities. Puerto Marina lies less than 200 metres away, placing waterfront restaurants, yacht berths and the promenade within a two-minute walk. The complex occupies one of the quieter sections of Benalmádena's marina district, set back from the main pedestrian flow but close enough to access the marina's facilities on foot. The west-facing terrace overlooks the communal gardens rather than directly onto neighbouring properties.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Benalmadena
Can foreigners buy property in Benalmádena?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Benalmádena. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Benalmádena?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
