About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse in Benahavís, Costa del Sol. This semi-detached property in the established La Quinta residential area delivers 208 square metres of built space across multiple levels, creating natural separation between living and sleeping quarters. The layout provides genuine privacy for families and guests alike, with four bathrooms distributed throughout the house and an additional area featuring its own independent entrance.
Inside, the multi-level configuration allows each bedroom to function as a proper retreat whilst the communal spaces remain distinct and generous in proportion. The four bathrooms mean morning routines flow without conflict, and the separate entrance area offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or extended family. Outside, the terrace extends the living space into the open air, positioned to capture views across the golf course and towards the surrounding mountains. This outdoor area functions year-round, suitable for morning coffee, afternoon meals, or evening relaxation with the Sierra Blanca range as backdrop.
La Quinta sits in the hills above Marbella's Golden Mile, approximately 10 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina. The residential zone surrounds the La Quinta Golf & Country Club, with established properties set among mature landscaping and mountain terrain. San Pedro de Alcántara lies five kilometres south, providing supermarkets, restaurants, and coastal access, whilst Benahavís village centre sits six kilometres inland, known for its concentration of dining establishments and access to mountain walking routes.

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.
