The N-340 coastal road and the AP-7 motorway are both easily accessible from the neighbourhood, and Málaga AGP airport is approximately 20 minutes by car.

Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, depending on the lender, loan term, and your financial profile. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property can help you compare options before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero — buyers should verify this with the developer, as charges may be set once the development is handed over. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority. No basura (waste collection) figure is available at this stage. Utility costs such as electricity, water, and internet will depend on your usage.
Can I view this property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. Our agents can arrange a live video viewing at a time to suit you, giving you a guided tour of the apartment, the communal areas, and the surrounding development. This is a practical first step before booking a trip to the Costa del Sol, and many buyers use it to shortlist properties before travelling.
Is this property suitable for short-term rental?
Benalmádena sits within one of the most active short-term rental markets on the Costa del Sol, with demand from tourists throughout the year and strong occupancy during summer months. A new-build apartment in Rancho Domingo would require a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before it can be legally advertised on platforms such as Airbnb. Your solicitor can advise on the application process and any local restrictions that may apply.
What does the purchase process look like from offer to completion?
Once your offer is accepted, you will need a Spanish NIE number to proceed — your solicitor can apply for this on your behalf. A reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (known as arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is typically paid. For new builds, staged payments during construction are common, with the balance paid at the notary on the day of completion. The notary signs the deeds, and ownership is then registered at the land registry in your name.
