About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Benahavis, Costa del Sol. The south-east orientation captures morning light across the main living spaces, while the elevated position delivers vistas that stretch from the Mediterranean coastline to the surrounding mountain terrain. This 362-square-metre residence spreads across multiple levels, creating natural separation between social and private zones.
The ground-level entrance opens to a double-height reception area with marble flooring, leading through to a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and direct access to the private garden. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, supplemented by air conditioning in each bedroom and reception room. All three bedroom suites include en-suite bathrooms with contemporary fittings, plus there's an additional guest cloakroom on the main floor. Double glazing features across all windows and terrace doors, while parquet flooring appears in the upper-level bedrooms. The private garden connects to a communal pool area within the gated development, and one allocated parking space comes with the property.
Benahavis village centre sits 4 kilometres inland, where traditional restaurants line the hillside streets. The property occupies a residential hillside position between the pueblo and the coast, with San Pedro de Alcántara 15 minutes by car and Puerto Banús approximately 20 minutes away. The gated community provides 24-hour security monitoring and maintains landscaped communal grounds around the shared swimming pool.

Buying this townhouse 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.
