About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment in Benalmadena Costa, Costa del Sol. This property comprises two self-contained flats sharing a west-facing terrace that spans 50 square metres across the entire length of the building. Both units have been fully refurbished with modern finishes throughout the 110 square metres of internal space, creating a versatile layout that functions as either separate rental units or combined family accommodation.
The larger flat contains two bedrooms and a shower room alongside a separate kitchen and living room, whilst the smaller unit offers one bedroom, a shower room, and an open-plan kitchen flowing into the living area. Each flat maintains independent access to the terrace through separate exits, allowing both spaces to be used simultaneously without compromising privacy. The terrace itself divides naturally into two distinct zones, each corresponding to its respective flat. Both kitchens have been fitted with contemporary units, and the shower rooms feature walk-in enclosures with rainfall heads. The west orientation delivers afternoon and evening sun across the outdoor space.
The property sits on Avenida de la Constitución in a residential pocket of Benalmadena Costa, positioned 1 kilometre from Puerto Marina with its restaurants and waterfront promenade. A supermarket and several schools operate within the immediate vicinity of the building. The terrace overlooks neighbouring residential blocks with glimpses of the surrounding hillside between the rooflines.

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