3.610 EUR/m2 and rising (+17,3% year on year, idealista). Benidorm is one of the most dynamic property markets in Spain, with year-round national and international demand. Well-priced beachside apartments sell in 30-60 days.
45% of all purchases in the province are made by foreign buyers, who pay on average 60% more than domestic buyers. At VITALITY we serve them in 5 languages and put your property directly in front of them.
Benidorm is not one market, it is several. Within barely three kilometres the price per square metre can vary by more than 40%, and that is the first reason the automated valuations on property portals get it so wrong here.
Levante beach and Rincón de Loix. The most expensive and the most liquid area: above €4,300/m². This is where the foreign buyer carries most weight and where a high-floor apartment with sea views can sell in weeks. The difference between a fifth floor and a fifteenth with identical square metres is real, and buyers pay for it.
Poniente beach. More residential and quieter, with a lot of seventies and eighties stock that has been renovated. It sells a little more slowly than Levante but to steadier buyers, many of them planning to live here all year round.
Town centre and old town. Smaller apartments, a lower entry price and very strong investor demand because of rental yields. Here the condition of the building — and above all whether it has a lift — matters more than almost anything else.
La Cala, Sierra Helada and towards Finestrat. Villas, townhouses and larger properties. Buyers take longer to decide because the ticket is bigger, but this is where good presentation makes the most difference: professional photography, video and floor plan.
The municipal average (€3,610/m²) works as a headline, not as a way to price your home. For that you need to look at what has actually sold in your building and your street over recent months, which is exactly what our valuation report does.
Between taxes and costs, selling a property in Benidorm usually comes to between 5% and 15% of the price: capital gains tax, municipal plusvalía, energy certificate, mortgage cancellation if there is one, and the agency fee. You can estimate it yourself with our selling costs and tax calculator, or see the full breakdown in our guide to costs and taxes when selling.
On timing, our average is 37 days from listing to an accepted offer, plus four to eight weeks to completion at the notary. What drags a sale out is almost never the market: it is an asking price set too high, which forces successive reductions and burns the listing on the portals.
Paperwork should not hold you up either, but start it early: the deed, the latest IBI receipt, a valid energy certificate, a zero-debt certificate from the community of owners and, if there is a mortgage, the outstanding balance certificate. The full list is in documents you need to sell a property.
A large share of Benidorm owners are British, Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian or German and only spend a few months a year here. Selling from abroad is not a problem: you do not need to fly over to sign. With a special power of sale granted before a notary in your country (with the Hague Apostille and a sworn translation) or at the Spanish consulate, someone signs the deed on your behalf.
What does change is the tax. If you are not a Spanish tax resident you pay IRNR at a flat 19% (EU, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) or 24% elsewhere, and the buyer is legally required to withhold 3% of the price as a payment on account. That 3% is deducted afterwards and, if your real tax bill is lower or you sold at a loss, it is refunded. We explain it step by step in selling as a non-resident.
At VITALITY we handle this kind of sale routinely from our Benidorm office, coordinating the gestoría and the notary, and we work in English from start to finish.

Between 5% and 15% of the price, depending on your gain and whether there is a mortgage: capital gains tax, municipal plusvalía, energy certificate, mortgage cancellation and the agency fee. You can estimate it with our selling costs calculator.
