About this property

Overview

Casares Bay delivers two and three-bedroom apartments built between 112 and 136 square metres, with terraces running from 30 to 113 square metres. The terraces matter here because the development sits beachfront and the larger units can give you more than a hundred square metres facing the Mediterranean. The smaller terraces suit buyers who want outside space without the upkeep, while the largest layouts work for families or anyone who spends most of the year outdoors. All apartments are south-east facing, which means morning light and softer afternoon sun. You can choose between a communal pool or a private one, and every unit comes with a garage or parking space.

The setting puts you on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, so you have direct access to the beach without driving through a town. You can walk to Lidl in eleven minutes for everyday shopping, or drive there in three. Gibraltar Airport is 40 minutes away by car, which makes this practical if you fly in and out regularly. The location keeps you away from the built-up stretches of the coast but still within reach of Estepona and the marina at La Duquesa. Doña Julia Golf is close by if you play, and the local town of Casares is inland for markets and a slower pace.

This suits buyers who want beach access and a quiet setting but are happy to use a car for most errands. Families will find the space and the surroundings useful, and second-home owners who fly through Gibraltar often will save time on transfers. The trade-off is that you are not in walking distance of a town centre, so this does not work if you want shops, restaurants and services on your doorstep.

Location

Casares

Location shown is the development site. This development is in CasaresCosta del Sol.

Casares Bay sits on the sea side of the AP-7, giving you direct access to the Mediterranean while keeping the motorway behind you. Gibraltar Airport is 27.9km away, a 40 minute drive, making this ideal for those who fly in regularly. You can walk to Lidl supermarket in 11 minutes for everyday shopping, or drive there in 3 minutes. The location works well for families and holiday buyers who want beach access without being trapped in a built-up resort town.

Casares Bay: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 800 metres from the development. You can walk there in about ten minutes, which is rare for beachfront developments on the Costa del Sol where many are separated from the shore by a road or other buildings. The development sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, so you have direct access without crossing traffic or walking through built-up areas.

The apartments face south-east and offer sea, golf, garden or panoramic views depending on the unit. The south-east orientation means you get morning sun and the views soften in the afternoon, which keeps the terraces usable even in high summer. The larger terraces with sea views give you more than a hundred square metres facing the Mediterranean, while golf-view units look out over Doña Julia Golf.

You can choose between a communal pool or a private one. A private pool gives you more control over maintenance and use, but you are responsible for cleaning, chemicals and any repairs. The communal pool means shared upkeep costs and less privacy, but no direct responsibility for looking after it yourself.

Gibraltar Airport is 28 kilometres away, about 40 minutes by car. That makes this practical for second-home owners who fly in regularly, because you can land and reach the apartment within an hour. The airport is small and handles fewer routes than Malaga, but the transfer time is half what you would spend getting to most developments from the larger airport.

The beach is an 800-metre walk and a Lidl supermarket is 900 metres away, about eleven minutes on foot. Beyond that, you will need a car for most errands. The development is not in a town centre, so restaurants, health care and other services are a drive away in Estepona or inland Casares.

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.
