Things to know about buying in Benahavís

Mostly, but not entirely. Around a third of new supply is apartments — typically in resort schemes on the golf estates with sea views, rather than in the village itself.

The village is about 15 minutes from Estepona’s coast; the Los Flamingos and New Golden Mile side is closer, around 8–10 minutes.

On a new build you pay 10% IVA (VAT) plus 1.2% AJD stamp duty in Andalucía, then notary, land registry and legal fees — budget 10–12% on top of the price. Resale property is different: 7% ITP transfer tax instead of IVA and AJD.

Typically a fixed reservation fee to take the unit off the market, then 10–20% on signing the private purchase contract, staged payments during construction, and the balance on completion. Spanish law requires developer-held buyer funds to be bank-guaranteed.

Yes — the NIE is the Spanish foreigner tax number and you cannot complete a purchase, open a utility account or pay property tax without one. It can be applied for in Spain or at a Spanish consulate; allow two to six weeks.

General information, not legal or tax advice. Always instruct an independent Spanish lawyer.
