About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in La Capellanía, Costa del Sol. The property sits on a double plot of 1,281sqm, giving you far more outdoor space than most detached homes in this part of Benalmádena. Tall pines, palms and bougainvillea screen the garden from neighbouring properties, and the south-facing orientation means the sea views extend across much of the house and terrace.
Inside, the 226sqm layout centres on a spacious living room that combines a lounge area around a working fireplace with a raised dining section, each with its own character but still connected. Wide glass doors open to a 53sqm arched, covered terrace where the transition between inside and outside feels natural. The kitchen features a central island and flows into a bright breakfast area, which in turn opens to a second terrace fitted with an awning. Three bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, and there's one parking space on the plot. The villa also has its own pool.
La Capellanía occupies elevated ground between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, with the villa positioned to capture coastal views while remaining just 2km from Benalmádena's marina and beaches. The property was built in 1981 and remains in good condition. The breakfast terrace includes space for a barbecue.

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