About this property

Overview

These apartments stretch from compact two-bedroom layouts at 91 square metres to three-bedroom homes at 142 square metres, but the real variation lies in the terraces, which run from 21 square metres to 245. Ground-floor units open onto private gardens, while penthouses claim the largest terraces and the widest views. The floorplans divide living and sleeping spaces cleanly, with kitchens that open into the main room rather than closing it off. The larger three-bedroom layouts give each bedroom its own wall of the building, so no one sleeps next to the neighbours.

The development sits within the Finca Cortesín estate in Casares, a gated resort built around an international golf course. That setting brings resort facilities, including a spa, beach club and hotel restaurants, but it also means a car for most errands. The nearest beach is walkable in 21 minutes, though most residents drive. Estepona, 14 minutes away, covers supermarkets, schools and healthcare. The location works for buyers who want the resort enclosure and are prepared to drive for daily needs. Families should check school-run times before committing.

Two communal pools serve the 84 homes, along with a residents-only gym, sauna and hammam. Each apartment includes garage parking. The views depend on position: some face the golf course and mountains, others take in the sea, and the penthouses get both. Living inside a golf resort suits buyers who play regularly or want the manicured quiet that comes with it, but it is not a walking neighbourhood, and the resort's refinement can feel insular if you prefer a town with its own life. This is a retreat, not a base in the middle of things.

Amenábar Cortesín: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 1.7 kilometres away, a 21-minute walk or nine minutes by car. The route is flat enough to manage on foot, but most residents at Amenábar Cortesín drive, especially in summer heat. The Finca Cortesín beach club offers a closer alternative within the resort.

Built areas run from 91 square metres for a two-bedroom apartment to 142 square metres for a three-bedroom home. The real difference lies in the terraces, which range from 21 square metres to 245. Ground-floor units include private gardens, while penthouses claim the largest outdoor spaces and the widest sightlines.

Gibraltar Airport is 30 kilometres away, a 46-minute drive, making it the nearer option for short trips. Málaga Airport takes about an hour and a quarter. The Casares location keeps both within reach, and the gated estate works well for lock-up-and-leave owners who want security between visits.

The beach is walkable in 21 minutes, and the golf academy is a kilometre away, though the route lacks pavements in places. Everything else needs a car: the nearest supermarket is 2.3 kilometres away, and Estepona, the main town for shops and services along the Costa del Sol, is seven kilometres out.

Views vary by position. Some apartments face the golf course and Sierra Bermeja mountains, others look towards the sea, and the penthouses catch both. All homes within the Finca Cortesín estate overlook landscaped grounds rather than roads or other buildings, which is part of the resort setting.

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.
