About this property

Overview

Abril Doña Julia delivers two and three bedroom apartments on the Casares coast between the AP-7 and the sea. Built sizes run from 100 to 123 square metres, while terrace sizes stretch from 21 to 298 square metres. The smallest terraces belong to upper floor apartments, the largest to ground floor units that come with private gardens. Every home includes a parking space and a storage room.

The layouts face north east or east, which means morning sun and shade by afternoon. Ground floor apartments open onto gardens, penthouses have larger roof terraces, and most units look out over the sea or the communal pool and landscaped grounds. The development sits on the seaward side of the motorway with direct access to the beach, a detail that matters if you want to walk to the water rather than drive to it.

Casares itself is a small hillside town a short drive inland. For supermarkets, the nearest Lidl is nine minutes away by car, and you are close enough to Estepona and Sotogrande for wider shopping and restaurants. Gibraltar Airport is 45 minutes along the coast, which suits anyone flying in and out regularly. The AP-7 runs nearby, so you have fast connections east and west, but that also means road noise will reach some of the homes.

This works for families who want a beachside base with space to spread out, and for anyone who values a large terrace or garden over being in the middle of a town. It does not work if you want to walk to shops or prefer somewhere livelier. The setting is quiet, green and geared around the pool and the beach rather than nightlife or a high street.

Abril Doña Julia: Frequently Asked Questions

Terraces range from 21 to 298 square metres. Upper floor apartments have the smaller terraces, while ground floor units come with private gardens that can reach nearly 300 square metres. That spread means you can choose between a modest balcony or outdoor space large enough for full garden furniture and planting.

The beach is 2.5 kilometres away, which takes about ten minutes by car. The development sits on the seaward side of the AP-7, so there is direct access without crossing the motorway, but the distance makes walking impractical for most people. You will need a car for daily beach trips.

Most apartments look out over the sea, the communal pool or the landscaped gardens. The homes face north east or east, which gives you morning sun and shade by afternoon. Upper floor units and penthouses tend to have clearer sea views, while ground floor apartments look onto the gardens.

Gibraltar Airport is 29 kilometres away, about 45 minutes by car along the coast. That makes this location practical for frequent flyers or anyone using the apartment as a lock-up-and-leave base. The AP-7 runs close by, so you have a fast route to the airport and to Málaga further east.

No. The nearest supermarket is 2.4 kilometres away, a nine minute drive, and Casares town is further inland. The development sits in a quiet coastal spot between the motorway and the sea, so you will need a car for shops, restaurants and everyday errands.

Buying off-plan in Casares means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
