About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol. The 135sqm terrace extends the 122sqm interior and frames uninterrupted Mediterranean vistas alongside mountain backdrops to the north. Southwest orientation ensures afternoon sun floods the open-plan living and kitchen space from midday through sunset.
Inside, the layout separates three bedrooms across 122sqm of built space, with two bathrooms serviced by contemporary fittings installed when the building completed in 2017. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living area connect directly to the corner terrace, which measures larger than the apartment itself at 135sqm. One parking space is included in the gated complex, and furniture can be negotiated separately. The ground-floor position allows level access from the parking area to the front door without stairs or lifts.
The Hill Collection sits within the El Higuerón resort area, where residents access a private spa, tennis courts, padel facilities, a gym, and landscaped gardens maintained by 24-hour security. Carvajal train station is a four-minute drive south, connecting to Málaga city centre in 20 minutes and the airport in 15. The A-7 coastal motorway runs 800 metres below the complex, placing Marbella 30 minutes west and Málaga port 15 minutes east without passing through town centres.

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