About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Benalmadena Costa, Costa del Sol. Built in 2022, this 266-square-metre ground-floor residence offers uninterrupted Mediterranean vistas from its expansive terrace, where the horizon stretches across open water rather than rooftops or neighbouring blocks.
The interior incorporates underfloor heating and cooling throughout both bedrooms and the main living areas, maintaining consistent temperature without visible radiators or wall units. The property includes direct lift access from the underground parking space to the apartment entrance, eliminating the need to carry shopping or luggage through communal corridors. Two full bathrooms serve the layout, and the residence comes fully furnished with contemporary pieces selected to complement the south-facing orientation. The apartment holds an active tourist rental licence, providing documented income potential for owners who choose to let the property during absence periods.
The One is a gated residential complex in Benalmadena Costa with 24-hour security, a communal swimming pool, and an on-site gym. The development sits 850 metres from Puerto Marina, where the waterfront promenade connects to restaurants, shops, and ferry services to Fuengirola. Málaga Airport lies 18 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway, a 15-minute drive in typical traffic conditions.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Benalmádena Costa
Can foreigners buy property in Benalmádena Costa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Benalmádena Costa. 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 Costa?
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.
