About this property

Overview

Alura Living FASE II is a collection of ninety-nine apartments in Casares Costa, ranging from two-bedroom homes of 104 square metres to three-bedroom layouts reaching 149 square metres. Every home has two bathrooms and a large terrace. Ground-floor units come with private gardens, and penthouses have solariums with open views towards the sea. The layouts are generous for the coast, and the three-bedroom homes suit families who want space without stepping up to a villa.

Casares Costa sits inland from the beach, closer to the motorway than the shore. The location gives quick access to Estepona, Marbella and Sotogrande by car, but you will need one for most errands. The immediate area is built around golf, and several well-known courses lie within a short drive. The setting is quiet and low-rise, more residential than resort, though it lacks the village feel of Casares Pueblo up in the hills behind.

The development has outdoor pools, a gym, sauna, hammam, coworking space and a golf simulator. These are serious amenities, not token gestures, and they matter if you spend long periods here. The golf simulator in particular makes sense given the surroundings. The combination of space, facilities and location works well for buyers who play golf, work remotely part of the year, or want a permanent home with room to spread out. It is less suited to anyone who wants to walk to restaurants and shops, or who prefers to be near the beach without driving.

Alura Living FASE II: Frequently Asked Questions

The apartments range from 104 square metres for a two-bedroom home to 149 square metres for a three-bedroom layout. Every home has two bathrooms. Those sizes include the interior living space but not the terrace, which adds considerable outdoor area to each unit.

Every apartment has a large terrace. Ground-floor homes also have private gardens, which you maintain yourself. Penthouses have solariums on the roof with sea views. The terraces are big enough to furnish properly, not just token balconies.

No. Casares Costa sits inland, closer to the motorway than the shore. The beach is a drive, not a walk. The location trades beach proximity for golf access, lower density and faster routes to Estepona, Marbella and Sotogrande.

Very little. The area is built around golf courses rather than village centres, so restaurants, shops and services require a car. If you want to walk to daily errands or prefer not to drive, this location will frustrate you.

Yes, particularly if you work remotely or play golf. The coworking space, gym, hammam and golf simulator give it more substance than a holiday complex. The apartment sizes also suit permanent living. It works less well if you want a lively social scene on your doorstep.

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.
