About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol. This duplex spans two floors with three private terraces offering uninterrupted views across the marina and Mediterranean. The upper level functions as an entirely self-contained suite with its own entrance, en-suite bathroom and direct solarium access, creating a separate space for guests or family.
The 202sqm interior divides across a double-height living and dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. Each of the three bathrooms serves a separate zone of the property. The 44sqm of terrace space splits between the three outdoor areas, with the largest opening directly from the main living room. Recent renovations have replaced all flooring, windows, bathrooms and kitchen installations throughout. One parking space comes with the property.
The penthouse sits within Puerto Marina complex on the second and third floors, accessed by lift. The building maintains a heated rooftop pool and concierge service. Benalmadena's Puerto Marina stretches directly below the complex, with its 1,100 berths, waterfront restaurants and evening promenade less than one minute's walk from the entrance. The marina's eastern breakwater reaches the beach in under 300 metres.

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