About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmádena Pueblo, Costa del Sol. Created from two adjoining residences, this 163-square-metre home delivers the footprint and privacy of a villa within a contemporary apartment building, complete with 137 square metres of wraparound terrace and panoramic views across the coastline.
Inside, the layout provides 146 square metres of living space across five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with finishes and fittings scheduled for completion in 2025. The terrace extends the full width of the property and incorporates a private swimming pool, a pergola-shaded dining area, and a built-in jacuzzi positioned to capture the evening views. The outdoor space divides naturally into zones for cooking, lounging, and entertaining, with sufficient width to accommodate furniture without crowding the circulation routes.
The property sits on the edge of Benalmádena Pueblo, a whitewashed village above the coast known for its pedestrianised streets and views across the bay. The historic centre, with its plaza and tapas bars, lies within a three-minute walk. Málaga Airport is 18 kilometres east along the A-7, and the beaches at Benalmádena Costa are seven minutes by car down the winding access road that connects the pueblo to the waterfront.

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