JMA Prime Estate, based in Fuengirola, focuses on coastal and metropolitan opportunities for international buyers—from holiday homes to long‑term investments. Their selection of this Benalmádena penthouse demonstrates a deliberate preference for properties that balance lifestyle and liquidity: recent build quality (2022), standout outdoor space uncommon at this price band, and straightforward access to local amenities.

Selection criteria and due diligence

When presenting coastal listings, JMA Prime Estate underscores compliance and credentials: verifying developer warranties, confirming community registrations, ensuring energy certifications are in place, and validating parking and storage allocations. For buyers outside Spain, these checks reduce transaction friction and clarify ongoing costs—an important trust signal for international purchasers.

The property as a case study in value and presentation

The listing price of EUR 1,350,000 reflects both the finished quality and the scarce combination of interior and outdoor space so close to the sea. The images capture the infinity pool and rooftop horizon that contribute to the property's appeal to international buyers seeking lifestyle and rental potential. JMA Prime Estate positions this penthouse for multiple buyer profiles: full‑time residents who prioritise walkability and amenities, seasonal owners desiring turnkey access, and investors evaluating short‑term rental demand on the Costa del Sol.

Presentation that shortens the sales cycle

Photos in the listing have been chosen to highlight the apartment’s natural light, terrace circulation and sea views—visuals that matter to remote buyers making decisions from abroad. JMA Prime Estate complements imagery with a clear spec sheet, site plans for parking and storage, and community documentation so that international clients can progress from interest to reservation with fewer unknowns.

Benalmádena: why this neighbourhood matters

Benalmádena combines coastal leisure with practical connectivity. The penthouse’s proximity—about 600 m—to Carvajal Beach and the promenade means daily seaside access, cafés and seafood restaurants within easy walking distance. For international buyers, this location offers efficient travel links to Málaga and short drives to Fuengirola, which supports both convenience and strong year‑round rental demand.

  • Local market signals for buyers to consider:
  • Seasonal tourism drives occupancy but steady local demand supports longer lets; newer builds command premiums for energy efficiency and lower maintenance overheads; outdoor living space is a high‑value attribute on the Costa del Sol.

Compliance, credentials and post‑sale support

JMA Prime Estate scores well on Blueprintera’s transparency criteria: it provides documented evidence of registration, clear fee disclosures, and a track record of managing post‑sale handovers for international clients. Their four years in business and an average client rating underscore a boutique operation that pairs local market knowledge with practical services—legal introductions, fiscal guidance and rental management options—critical for buyers unfamiliar with Spanish procedures.

What to verify when buying from abroad

  • Ask for developer guarantees and completion certificates; request full community minutes and budgets; verify utility connections and cadastral data; confirm exact parking and storage allocations; and request a clear breakdown of ongoing community fees and IBI (property tax).

Practical next steps for interested buyers

If the combination of generous terraces, private lift access and coastal location fits your brief, ask JMA Prime Estate for the full listing pack and recent community documentation to review remotely. The agency can arrange virtual viewings that use the supplied images and walkthroughs, or schedule an in‑person viewing and handle pre‑inspection checks on your behalf.

As shown in the property images, the rooftop solarium and infinity pool are not just lifestyle extras; they materially affect resale and letting potential. For international buyers, that translates into clearer comparisons across competing coastal offers and a stronger case when assessing value versus price.
