About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Benalmádena Pueblo, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence spans 116 square metres across interiors and terrace, delivering uninterrupted access to outdoor space from the moment you step inside. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Mediterranean light throughout the day, whilst the private terrace extends your living area into an open-air room where breakfast, evening drinks, and long summer lunches feel equally at home.
Inside, two double bedrooms anchor opposite ends of the layout, each with its own en-suite bathroom finished in contemporary ceramic and chrome. The open-plan kitchen flows into a living area designed for entertaining, with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar that seats four. One allocated parking space sits beneath the building, and the penthouse comes unfurnished, allowing you to shape the interiors to your own specification. The complex includes a shared pool, a fully equipped gym, and wellness facilities that remove the need for external memberships.
Benalmádena Pueblo sits 3 kilometres inland from the coast, preserving the whitewashed village character whilst remaining 10 minutes by car from Benalmádena Marina. The property is due for completion in 2026, meaning you'll be the first to occupy a home built to current energy standards. Málaga Airport lies 15 kilometres east along the A-7, placing international connections within a 20-minute drive. The building's top-floor position ensures no footfall above and grants direct access to the roof terrace via an internal staircase.

Buying this penthouse 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.
