About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with private pool in Benahavis, Costa del Sol. The property sits in the elevated upper section of the residential area, where mountain views stretch across the valley and natural light fills the interior from morning through to early afternoon thanks to its east-facing orientation. Each of the four bedrooms includes its own en-suite bathroom, creating independent quarters across the 243sqm of built space.
The layout spreads across multiple levels with 57sqm of terrace space divided between different outdoor zones. The private pool sits on one of these terraces, positioned to take advantage of the morning sun and mountain backdrop. Inside, the open-plan living areas connect directly to the outdoor spaces through full-height glass doors. The kitchen features integrated appliances and stone worktops, while the master suite occupies its own level with a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom fitted with both bath and separate shower. A dedicated parking space is included within the gated perimeter.
El Casar provides 24-hour security, communal gardens, a residents' gym, and a shared pool in addition to the private one at the property. The complex sits 4km from Benahavís village centre, where restaurants line the hillside streets. San Pedro de Alcántara and its coastal amenities lie 10 minutes by car, while the AP-7 motorway access point is 6km away. The surrounding area remains largely undeveloped, with hiking trails leading directly into the Sierra de las Nieves foothills from the edge of the urbanisation.

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.
