About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmádena Pueblo, Costa del Sol. This new-build residence, completing in 2026, delivers 132 square metres of unoccupied living space across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the distinction of being the first home for its eventual owner. The terrace extends the internal footprint, offering an outdoor room that captures Mediterranean daylight from morning through to evening.
Inside, the layout accommodates contemporary living with generous proportions throughout. The kitchen arrives unfurnished, allowing configuration to personal specification. Both bathrooms feature modern fittings installed to current standards. The principal bedroom provides en-suite access, whilst the two additional bedrooms share the second bathroom. Each room benefits from large-format windows that draw natural light deep into the apartment. One allocated parking space comes with the property, removing the daily challenge of street parking in this hillside pueblo.
The residential complex includes a shared swimming pool and an on-site gym, both maintained as communal amenities for residents. Benalmádena Pueblo sits 4 kilometres inland from the beachfront at Benalmádena Costa, a ten-minute drive that descends through the hillside to reach the marina and seafront promenade. The pueblo itself retains its whitewashed village character, with the Plaza de España and its cluster of tapas bars located 600 metres from the development on foot. Málaga Airport lies 15 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway, placing international connections within a twenty-minute drive.

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