About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with golf views in Benahavis, Costa del Sol. This south-facing property commands 180 square metres across two levels, with 40 square metres of terrace space overlooking the fairways and surrounding mountains. The open-plan ground floor centres on a salon with floor-to-ceiling windows and a working fireplace, flowing into a separate dining area that shares the same elevated panorama across the golf course and Mediterranean beyond.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated appliances, and the property includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms across its two floors. Air conditioning throughout is handled by a new Daikin system, while pure water filtration serves both drinking taps and washing points. Mosquito screens cover every window and door. The property includes one private parking space in the garage plus additional storage, and comes part-furnished. Built in 2007, the townhouse retains its original specification in excellent condition, with no renovation required.
Monte Mayor is a gated residential estate built around the golf course of the same name, with 24-hour security, communal swimming pool, and maintained gardens threading between the properties. The townhouse sits in the La Heredia village within the complex, a ten-minute drive from the coast and beaches at San Pedro de Alcántara. Benahavis village centre, known for its hillside restaurants, lies four kilometres to the north along a winding mountain road.

9 questions answered
Buying this townhouse in Monte Mayor
Can foreigners buy property in Monte Mayor?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Monte Mayor. 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 Monte Mayor?
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.
