About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmádena Costa, Costa del Sol. This new-build property places you four minutes on foot from both the beach and the award-winning Puerto Marina, with its waterfront restaurants, luxury yacht berths, and shopping precincts.
The 98-square-metre interior comprises three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen that opens onto a bright living and dining area. Large windows run along the main living space, flooding the rooms with natural light throughout the day. The 12-square-metre terrace extends the living area outdoors, whilst the private pool provides year-round use. One allocated parking space is included. Completion is scheduled for 2026, with the apartment delivered unfurnished so you can specify your own interior scheme.
The building stands in central Benalmádena Costa, four minutes' walk from the sandy beaches where chiringuitos line the shore. Puerto Marina Benalmádena sits at the same distance, recognised internationally for its dining quarter and nightlife. The marina's eastern breakwater stretches 300 metres into the Mediterranean, sheltering the yacht moorings and creating a promenade that connects to the beachfront. Calle Bonanza, one of the area's principal commercial streets, runs adjacent to the development, providing supermarkets, cafés, and local services within immediate walking range.

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.
