About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benahavís, Costa del Sol. This fully furnished residence occupies an elevated position within the gated Ocean Pines complex, delivering unobstructed views across the Mediterranean to the Strait of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the African coastline beyond.
The 110sqm interior comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, alongside a spacious living-dining room that connects to a 36sqm terrace. The independent kitchen comes fully equipped, whilst air conditioning maintains comfort throughout the year. The terrace provides ample space for outdoor dining and sunbathing, with the panoramic views extending from the manicured communal gardens to the sea. One allocated parking space accompanies the property, which has been maintained in excellent condition since its 2007 construction.
Ocean Pines sits within the Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club in Benahavís, offering residents access to communal pools, spa facilities, landscaped gardens and 24-hour security. The complex borders Los Arqueros Golf Course, where the championship 18-hole course lies immediately adjacent to the development. Puerto Banús marina sits 10 kilometres south along the coast, whilst the village of Benahavís, known for its hillside restaurants, is a five-minute drive inland. The urbanisation's elevated position ensures the Mediterranean views remain uninterrupted by neighbouring properties.

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