About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Benahavis, Costa del Sol. The elevated position captures Mediterranean panoramas from both the main living area and the 58sqm terrace, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the coastline beyond. A private pool sits within the 44sqm plot, offering a secluded outdoor space that extends the 169sqm of internal accommodation across three levels.
Inside, the ground-floor living area opens directly onto the terrace through sliding glass doors, creating a continuous flow between indoor and outdoor zones. The property includes three bedrooms across the upper floors, serviced by two full bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom. South-facing orientation ensures natural light throughout the day, particularly in the main reception room where the window line runs the full width of the space. One designated parking space comes with the property, sheltered within the townhouse footprint.
La Heredia occupies a hillside position within the Monte Mayor area, a gated community with 24-hour security monitoring all entry points. The complex sits 8km north of San Pedro de Alcántara, where the coastal promenade and beach clubs line the waterfront. Mountain views extend behind the property towards the Sierra de las Nieves, visible from the rear-facing windows on the upper floor.

9 questions answered
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.
