About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol. This recently renovated property combines coastal accessibility with practical urban living, positioned within walking distance of the town centre and Mediterranean shoreline. The private terrace extends the 72sqm interior into an outdoor space suited to year-round use under the southern Spanish climate.
Inside, marble flooring runs throughout both bedrooms and the open-plan living areas, whilst fitted wardrobes provide built-in storage without compromising floor space. The fully fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and connects directly to the living room, creating a functional layout for daily life or holiday letting. A modern bathroom serves both bedrooms, finished to match the property's recent refurbishment. The private terrace measures large enough for outdoor dining furniture and opens from the main living area, offering an extension to the usable square meterage. Lift access removes the need for stair navigation with shopping or luggage.
The building sits within a town urbanisation that includes a communal swimming pool and paddle tennis court, both maintained as shared facilities for residents. Benalmádena's Arroyo de la Miel district lies within a five-minute walk, providing supermarkets, restaurants and the commuter train line connecting Málaga Airport to Fuengirola. The nearest beaches at Benalmádena Costa are 1.2 kilometres downhill, reachable by local bus services that stop 200 metres from the building entrance. Transport links include the A-7 coastal motorway within three minutes' drive for access to Torremolinos, Marbella and surrounding Costa del Sol municipalities.

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.
