Property for Sale in Benidorm, Spain

Frequently asked questions

• What does a Benidorm apartment cost?

  In our catalogue, one bedroom starts at €275,000, two bedrooms run €312,900-€630,000 with a median of €415,000, and three bedrooms run €425,000-€650,000. All of it is new-build or near-new. The wider Benidorm market starts far lower, around €80,000 for a small old-town flat from the tourist-boom era, which is a different product entirely.

• Levante or Poniente: which side is better?

  Levante for nightlife, dining variety, and rental income; expect noise and crowds. Poniente for quieter sea-view living with families and retirees; prices run 10-15% lower for comparable size.

• Can I buy without being a resident?

  Yes. Foreign non-residents buy without restrictions. You need an NIE, a Spanish bank account, and a notary signing - we set all three up for you.

• What rental yield can I expect?

  With a tourist licence and active management, beachfront apartments often generate 6-9% gross yield. Long-term rental yields average 5-6%. Off-season demand stays steady thanks to retirees from Northern Europe.

• What are the running costs for a Benidorm apartment?

  Community fees in newer buildings with pool and concierge: €80-€180/month. IBI property tax: €300-€700/year for a typical apartment. Utility bills run €60-€100/month for occasional use.

• Are tourist licences still available?

  Yes, but availability varies by building. New licences in some communities are restricted by the community-of-owners statute. Check before buying if short-term rental is your goal - we verify this on every viewing.

• What taxes do I pay buying in Benidorm?

  Resale: 10% ITP transfer tax (Valencia region). New-build: 10% IVA + 1.5% AJD. Add 1-1.5% for notary, registry, and legal fees.

• Is Benidorm overrun with tourists year-round?

  Peak (June-September) is genuinely busy. October-May is much calmer, with mild weather and a large semi-resident retiree population from the UK and Nordics. Many buyers prefer to use the property in the shoulder months.
