About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Benalmadena Pueblo, Costa del Sol. The terrace stretches wide enough for a full dining table and lounge setup, with uninterrupted sightlines across the Mediterranean and down to the communal pool below. The entire interior has been refurbished to a contemporary standard, bringing in open-plan living space, updated kitchen finishes, and two bathrooms finished with modern fittings.
Inside, the 155sqm layout includes a bright living-dining area that opens directly onto the terrace through full-width glass doors. Both bedrooms are double-sized, and the apartment comes with a private parking space and a dedicated storage room tucked away in the basement. The communal pool sits within landscaped gardens, accessible from ground level, and the gated complex keeps entry controlled with perimeter security.
Benalmadena Pueblo sits on the hillside above the coast, keeping the whitewashed village character intact while staying 10 minutes by car from Benalmadena Marina. The apartment is a five-minute walk from Plaza de España in the village centre, where you'll find tapas bars, a weekly market, and the Colomares Monument. Malaga Airport is 20 minutes east along the A-7, and the coastal promenade at Arroyo de la Miel is a short drive downhill with direct beach access and the Tivoli World amusement park nearby.

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