About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in Benalmádena Costa, Costa del Sol. The upper floor captures glimpses of the Mediterranean through established trees, whilst the 836sqm plot provides substantial outdoor space centred on a private swimming pool surrounded by mature garden planting. Built in 2004, the property holds a holiday rental licence and comes fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation or income generation.
The 266sqm interior accommodates four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, with the main living areas opening directly onto the pool terrace. The 20sqm covered terrace extends usable outdoor space beyond the poolside, sheltered for year-round dining. Inside, Andalusian architectural details define the character, whilst the layout separates sleeping quarters from entertaining zones. One parking space is included within the plot boundary, and the property remains in good condition throughout with no recent renovation.
The villa sits within a quiet residential development positioned between Benalmádena town and the coastline. Benalmádena Marina lies 2.5 kilometres south, accessible within five minutes by car, offering waterfront restaurants and yacht moorings. The location balances residential calm with proximity to coastal amenities, placing both the beach clubs of the Costa del Sol shore and the commercial centre of Benalmádena within easy reach. The plot's 836sqm footprint allows space between neighbouring properties whilst the tree coverage provides natural screening around the pool area.

Buying this villa in Benalmádena Costa
Can foreigners buy property in Benalmádena Costa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Benalmádena Costa. 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 Benalmádena Costa?
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.
