Frequently Asked Questions: Lawyers in Benalmadena

What makes Benalmadena popular with international buyers?

Benalmadena offers a combination of a busy marina, beaches, a cable car with panoramic views, and Malaga airport just 15 minutes away. The town has three distinct areas: Benalmadena Costa (beach and marina), Arroyo de la Miel (commercial centre), and Benalmadena Pueblo (traditional hillside village). Each suits different buyer needs and price points.

What are the total purchase costs in Benalmadena?

Budget 11-13% on top of the purchase price: ITP at 7-10% (Andalusia sliding scale by value), notary fees (0.2-0.5%), Land Registry registration fees (0.1-0.3%), and legal fees (1-1.5% plus VAT). Your lawyer provides a full cost estimate before you sign any document so there are no surprises at completion.

Can I get a tourist rental licence in Benalmadena?

Andalusia's ERTA system allows tourist rental registration in most property types. However, community of owners in some Benalmadena complexes have voted to prohibit tourist lets under Spain's Horizontal Property Law. Your lawyer checks the community statutes and minutes before you commit to a purchase based on rental income expectations.

What Nota Simple checks does my Benalmadena lawyer carry out?

The Nota Simple reveals the registered owner, property description, surface area, and any charges (mortgages, liens, embargoes). In Benalmadena, your lawyer also checks for any outstanding community debts (via a no-debt certificate from the community administrator) and confirms the habitation licence is current.

Is Power of Attorney available for remote buyers in Benalmadena?

Yes. If you cannot travel to Spain for signing, your lawyer can act under a Power of Attorney (Poder Notarial). You execute this at a Spanish Consulate in your home country or via a local notary with an Apostille. Your lawyer then represents you at the Benalmadena notary for the completion deed.
