About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property spans 95 square metres of interior space plus a 25-square-metre terrace divided into covered and open-air sections, giving you a flexible outdoor area that works across all seasons.
Inside, the living room connects directly to the terrace through full-width doors, while the separate kitchen includes a dedicated dining area and an adjoining laundry room that keeps utility tasks out of sight. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, with a second double bedroom also fitted with built-in storage. A second full bathroom serves the rest of the apartment independently. Marble floors run throughout, and double-glazed windows face east and south-east to bring in morning and midday light. The property includes one allocated parking space and comes with optional furniture if required.
The apartment sits within Arenal Golf, a gated residential complex with communal pools, maintained gardens, tennis and padel courts, a gym, and 24-hour security. The development borders Benalmadena Golf, which you can reach on foot in under three minutes from your front door. Mountain views extend from the terrace, framing the backdrop beyond the fairways.

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