About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol. This 110sqm property has been completely renovated with a brand-new kitchen and bathroom, alongside a full electrical rewiring and contemporary lighting design throughout. The renovation uses high-quality materials and delivers a modern finish ready for immediate occupation.
The layout provides two double bedrooms and two bathrooms across 110sqm of internal space, extending to a 12sqm terrace. The new kitchen features integrated appliances and sleek cabinetry, while both bathrooms have been fitted with modern sanitaryware and tiling. The apartment comes fully furnished and includes air conditioning. A significant practical advantage is the inclusion of two private parking spaces rather than the standard single allocation, plus a dedicated storage room for additional household items or sports equipment.
Benalmarina is a well-maintained residential development with communal gardens and swimming pools set back from the coastal road. The complex sits 800 metres from Puerto Marina, one of the Costa del Sol's largest recreational marinas with over 1,000 berths, numerous waterfront restaurants, and regular ferry connections to Fuengirola. Benalmádena's beaches lie within a 10-minute walk, while the town centre with its shops, supermarkets and transport links is equally accessible on foot. The storage room measures approximately 6sqm and is located in the same building as the parking spaces.

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.
