Nestled in Benalmadena on Avenida del Higuerón, this two‑bedroom apartment represents a measured opportunity on the Costa del Sol. Listed at EUR 499,000, the home is part of a newly constructed development that pairs contemporary specification with resort‑style amenities.

Discovering the Benalmadena apartment with M2Nordic

Take this property as a case study: a 122 sqm, two‑bedroom, two‑bathroom flat completed within a new‑build scheme designed for long‑term living rather than short‑term rental spectacle. As shown in the images, the layout favours daylight, clear lines and a generous terrace that frames Mediterranean views — features M2Nordic identified as decisive for international buyers seeking both lifestyle and liquidity.

What the home actually delivers

The apartment’s specification reads like a concise checklist of buyer priorities: sea views, a terrace for outdoor living, two parking spaces plus storage, and on‑site communal facilities including indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and a wellness area. The images capture the terrace aspect and the pool geometry clearly — useful visual cues when assessing finish and exposure from overseas.

Practical features that matter to international purchasers are present: dedicated garage space, lift access, air conditioning and new‑construction warranties. These reduce maintenance uncertainty for buyers who are often not local full‑time and want an asset they can hand over to a property manager with minimal intervention.

How the design responds to climate and resale

Orientation, glazing and terrace depth — details visible in the photography — are core determinants of thermal comfort and year‑round rentability. M2Nordic’s selection process places equal weight on these technical attributes and on market readability: how a flat will perform across seasons and different buyer profiles.

What M2Nordic adds for a buyer: - Documentary clarity on developer guarantees and completion timeline - Comparative pricing against recent comparable sales in Benalmadena and El Higuerón - Local management and lettings recommendations for absentee owners - Multilingual transaction support tailored to non‑resident buyers

Benalmadena: context for buyers

Benalmadena sits between Málaga and Fuengirola and has diversified beyond seasonal tourism into year‑round residential demand. For international buyers the town offers a balance: coast‑adjacent living with convenient connections to Málaga airport, established service infrastructure, and pockets of higher‑end new build developments in El Higuerón. That mix supports both lifestyle purchasers and prudent investors seeking steady occupancy or resale channels.

Buyers should weigh three local considerations: micro‑location (hill vs. shoreline), planned supply of comparable new builds through 2027, and governance of community charges. The property’s construction window — scheduled from Q4 2025 to Q4 2027 — means buyers must factor in financing timing, deposit structures and potential short‑term market movement before completion.

Transaction practicalities and M2Nordic’s role

M2Nordic acts as an intermediary and advisor: they facilitate pre‑contract checks, coordinate legal counsel versed in Spanish property law, and recommend fiscal advisors for non‑resident tax planning. Their local office in Marbella allows them to verify site conditions and represent buyers at handover — services that materially reduce risk for international clients.

Given the property’s new‑build status, M2Nordic emphasises warranty review, specification concordance (delivery matching the promised finishes) and staging for rental when necessary. The agency’s twenty years in the region mean they can cross‑check developer performance against previous projects, a valuable trust signal for buyers buying off‑plan.

What the photographs reveal — and what to verify in person

The supplied images highlight terrace proportions, interior daylighting and pool design. Use those visuals to confirm glazing quality, terrace privacy and sightlines to the sea. Photographs are decisive for narrowing options but should be paired with technical reports and, where possible, an on‑site inspection prior to exchange.

Conclusion and next steps

This Benalmadena apartment exemplifies the kind of considered opportunity M2Nordic brings to international buyers: modern specification, coastal exposure and managed communal amenities. M2Nordic’s value lies in translating local realities into clear, actionable advice — from warranty checks through post‑completion management. For buyers evaluating similar homes on the Costa del Sol, begin with documentary due diligence, use images to shortlist, and engage a local agent who can verify developer claims and guide closing logistics.
