About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence at Mane Residences delivers an exceptional 153sqm terrace, more than double the interior footprint, creating an expansive outdoor room with private garden space and covered porch. The sea view frames the horizon from this elevated position in Montealto, where the stepped terrain allows ground-floor properties to capture vistas typically reserved for upper levels.
Inside, 82sqm of living space includes two double bedrooms, both fitted with built-in wardrobes, and two bathrooms, one en-suite. The open-plan kitchen and living area extends directly onto the terrace through full-width glass doors. A separate storage room provides additional utility space, while the underground garage includes one allocated parking space. The apartment is unfurnished, scheduled for completion in 2025, allowing buyers to specify finishes and interior details during the construction phase.
Mane Residences is a gated development in the Montealto district, positioned on the hillside above central Benalmádena. Residents access a communal swimming pool, gymnasium, and landscaped gardens within the complex. The property sits 2.5 kilometres from Benalmádena Marina, a ten-minute drive down the coastal road, where the waterfront promenade connects to beach clubs, restaurants, and the Puerto Marina commercial centre. The terrace's southern aspect captures afternoon sun across the garden section, with the porch providing shaded dining space during summer months.

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.
