What we would tell you sitting in the office, in writing and with the numbers at hand.
Casa Orquidea is a villa of 1,696 m² in El Herrojo Alto, Benahavís. It has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The address is 1,963 m² plot.
It is listed at €19,880,000, that is €11,722 per m². It is the list price, in euros.
The property has gated community, panoramic views, infinity pool, indoor pool, outdoor pool, rooftop pool, solarium and gardens.
In Spain a foreigner buys in their own name, with no trust and no company. You need an NIE (foreigner identification number) and, if you do not live here, a lawyer or representative with power of attorney to sign on your behalf. A Spanish bank account makes paying the taxes and bills easier. The sale is signed before a notary and registered at the Land Registry.
On a resale there is no VAT: you pay the transfer tax (ITP), which in Andalusia is 7%. Add the notary and the land registry, which charge an official fee scale, and the gestoría.
On €19,880,000, taxes, notary and registry come to about €1,396,616. The gestoría is extra, and so is the bank valuation if you buy with a mortgage.

About buying in Benahavís
It depends on the price per square metre and the area, not on the city. On the Costa del Sol new builds and resales move at different speeds, and the same money buys very different things in Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís. What we do before you reserve is compare that price against what sells around it and check the paperwork. We have been in real estate since 2005 and not everything we are offered makes it into the inventory.
Yes, in their own name and with the same taxes as a resident. You need an NIE (foreigner identification number) and, if you do not live here, a lawyer or representative with power of attorney to sign. A Spanish bank account helps with the payments. The sale is signed before a notary and registered at the Land Registry. There is no trust and no company is needed.
On a resale, the transfer tax (ITP), which in Andalusia is 7%. Plus the notary and the land registry, which charge an official fee scale, and the gestoría. On €19,880,000 that is around €1,396,616. These are approximate figures and do not include the gestoría.
The seller or the developer. On the Costa del Sol the commission comes from whoever sells, so buying Casa Orquidea with us costs you the same as going direct. What changes is what we check before you sign. You pay the taxes and the notary, registry and administrative fees.
The IBI (property tax), set by each town hall, and the refuse charge. The community fee, if it is a building or an urbanisation, set by each administrator: we give you the exact fee before you reserve. And if you are not resident in Spain, the non-resident income tax, filed every year even if you do not rent it out.
This is what we ask for before you sign: an up-to-date Land Registry extract (nota simple: who owns it and what charges it carries), the first occupation licence, the energy performance certificate, that the community fees and IBI are paid up, and that what was built matches what is registered. If something does not add up, we tell you and we do not sell it to you.
In Andalusia holiday rentals are registered with the regional tourism registry and need a first occupation licence. Some town halls and owners' communities set limits, so it is checked case by case before buying. Long-term rentals do not need that registration.
