About this property

Overview

This is a single-storey villa offering 398 square metres of built space on a plot of just over 1,000 square metres in Casares Playa. The layout places four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open-plan living area all on one level, with every room opening directly onto a terrace that wraps around a private pool and landscaped garden. Large windows run the length of the main living spaces, bringing in natural light and views over the surrounding golf course. Below the main floor sits a raw basement with enough space to add a gym, cinema room or wine cellar.

The location sits on the coastal side of the AP-7, two kilometres from the nearest beach and a five-minute drive from the shore. Estepona town centre is 18 minutes by car, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina is 10 minutes away. Golf Academy Albayt Resort lies nine minutes inland, and the Finca Cortesin course and hotel are within a short drive. Schools such as Colegio Pablo Picasso are 11 minutes away, and Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is 3.4 kilometres from the property.

The single-storey layout works well for families with young children or older buyers who want to avoid stairs, but the plot size is modest for a villa of this build area, so the garden will not stretch far beyond the pool terrace. The Casares Playa setting gives you beach access without the density of a beachfront strip, though you will need a car for most daily errands. The basement shell adds flexibility, but finishing it to a standard that matches the main floor will require a separate budget and clear plans before you start.

Tailor Made Villa in Casares: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is two kilometres away, about five minutes by car. This is not a beachfront location and the distance is too far to walk comfortably with beach gear, so you will need a car for regular visits to the shore.

Yes, the villa has a private pool and landscaped garden on the 1,010-square-metre plot. You are responsible for maintaining both, which means regular pool servicing, grass cutting and irrigation upkeep throughout the year.

The basement is a raw shell, so you can convert it into a gym, cinema room, wine cellar or additional living space. The conversion will require planning, permits and a budget separate from the purchase, and the finish must meet building regulations.

Yes, a car is necessary. The nearest supermarket is 2.4 kilometres away, the beach is two kilometres, and Estepona town centre is 18 minutes by car. Nothing practical sits within comfortable walking distance.

Colegio Pablo Picasso is 11 minutes away by car, and Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is 3.4 kilometres from the villa. The beach is five minutes by car, and the marina at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa is 10 minutes away for weekend outings.

Buying off-plan in Casares Playa 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.
