About Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena
Benalmádena is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a resale in Andalucía, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 7% of the purchase price. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. It is advisable to arrange a mortgage in principle before making an offer.
What are the estimated running costs for this townhouse?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 60 per month, covering maintenance of shared areas. The annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at EUR 600. Both figures are estimates and should be confirmed with the agent before exchange. You should also budget for utility connections and any applicable rubbish collection charges.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule either option, and we will confirm availability with the vendor directly.
Does this property have rental potential?
Arroyo de la Miel is a residential neighbourhood rather than a primary tourist zone, so short-term tourist rental demand is more limited than in coastal areas. The property may suit medium or long-term residential letting. You should verify the local licensing requirements with your legal adviser before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when ownership transfers officially. Engaging an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset is strongly recommended.
