About this property

Overview

Abril Doña Julia is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Casares, Costa del Sol, priced from €427,000 to €685,000. The project comprises 65 homes, a relatively modest scale for this stretch of coast, positioned within the Doña Julia Golf district where development density remains lower than in the more built-up areas closer to Estepona. Each apartment includes a private garden, and the supplier description confirms views across both the Mediterranean and the surrounding golf landscape, a dual aspect that is less common in ground floor units at this price point.

Built sizes range from 100 to 123 m² across the two and three-bedroom layouts, with all homes allocated two bathrooms. Every apartment comes with a dedicated parking space and storage room, both included in the purchase price rather than offered as optional extras. The development includes a communal swimming pool, and the supplier notes that the design prioritises sightlines, with ground floor properties oriented to maintain sea views despite their lower elevation. The architecture and specification details beyond these elements have not been disclosed in the available data, so buyers should request full technical plans and finishes schedules directly from the developer before committing.

Doña Julia Golf itself sits approximately 4 kilometres inland from the coast, between Casares and Estepona, with the beach at Casares Costa around 8 minutes by car depending on which exit route you take from the development. The area attracts a mix of northern European buyers seeking golf access without the density or price levels of Marbella, and Spanish second-home owners who prefer a quieter setting within reasonable reach of both Estepona and Sotogrande. The trade-off is straightforward: you gain space, lower per-square-metre costs, and golf course proximity, but you sacrifice walkability to amenities. The nearest supermarket, pharmacy, and year-round restaurants are in Casares pueblo or along the A7 coast road, neither within comfortable walking distance. This is a car-dependent location, which suits some buyers and excludes others.

Abril Doña Julia is currently under construction, with completion dates to be confirmed by the developer. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures your chosen unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when you collect keys and the property is formally registered in your name. All payment schedules and amounts must be confirmed directly with the developer, as these can vary between projects and sometimes between individual units. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish property lawyer before signing any reservation agreement or contract. One practical consideration: ground floor apartments with gardens require ongoing maintenance, and it is worth clarifying with the developer whether garden upkeep falls to the individual owner or the community, as this affects both your time commitment and your annual community fees.

Abril Doña Julia: Frequently Asked Questions

The price for Abril Doña Julia covers the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private garden or communal pool depending on the unit. All ground floor apartments at Abril Doña Julia come with these features included, so you're not paying extra for parking or outdoor space.

Abril Doña Julia is in Casares on the Costa del Sol, a quieter coastal area west of Marbella. The location gives you access to local beaches and amenities while being away from the busier tourist zones, making it suitable for both holiday use and permanent living.

Abril Doña Julia offers 2 and 3 bedroom ground floor apartments ranging from 100 to 123 square metres. The 2 bedroom units start at €427,000, while the larger 3 bedroom options go up to €685,000, giving you flexibility based on your needs and budget.

Yes, Abril Doña Julia apartments feature sea views as a key selling point. Combined with the private garden or communal pool access, the sea view aspect makes these ground floor units particularly appealing for those wanting to enjoy the coastal setting.

Abril Doña Julia is expected to be completed in June 2027, giving you approximately two and a half years from now. This timeline allows the developer, SEÑORIO DOÑA JULIA, to ensure quality construction while you have time to arrange financing and plan your move.

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.
