Advantages of New Build in Benahavís
10-Year Structural Warranty
All new build properties in Spain carry a mandatory garantia decenal (10-year structural warranty) plus shorter warranties for waterproofing and installations. You are fully protected against defects.

No unexpected structural issues, no outdated plumbing or wiring to replace, no cosmetic updates required. Your budget goes on living, not renovating.
Modern Layouts
Open-plan kitchen-living areas, large format windows, en-suite bedrooms, and substantial terraces designed for the Mediterranean lifestyle are standard in new build Benahavís stock.
Community Facilities
Landscaped gardens, communal pools, gym, and often padel courts or spa facilities are included within the development at a fraction of the cost of maintaining them privately.

Your Questions About New Build Properties in Benahavís Answered
Off-plan means the property is not yet constructed. New build refers to properties that are recently completed or near completion. In Benahavís, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably but technically a new build is a finished or nearly finished property, while off-plan requires a construction wait. Both attract VAT at 10% rather than Transfer Tax.
Spanish law mandates three levels of warranty: one year for minor defects (aesthetic finishes), three years for habitability defects (waterproofing, insulation), and ten years for structural defects. These warranties are backed by the developer's builder insurance and run from the date of the building licence.
If the property is already built, completion can happen in as little as 4 to 8 weeks from signing the private purchase contract, subject to obtaining your NIE and setting up a Spanish bank account. Near-complete properties may take 3 to 6 months. Your solicitor will advise on the specific timeline for any given property.
Yes. Spanish banks lend on new build properties for both residents and non-residents. Non-residents can typically borrow 60 to 70% of the purchase price, while residents may access up to 80%. Many developers have preferred lending arrangements with banks that can offer competitive terms for buyers within their projects.
New builds achieve a significant rental premium over older stock, particularly on short-term platforms. Modern design, resort amenities, and high listing quality all drive occupancy rates. Expect gross yields of 5 to 7 percent in well-located Benahavís new builds, with beachside and golf-adjacent locations performing at the higher end.
Budget 13 to 15 percent on top of the purchase price for VAT (10%), stamp duty (1.2 to 1.5%), notary and registry fees (0.5 to 1%), and legal fees (1 to 1.5%). Some developments also have community fees and an initial community fund contribution payable at handover.
