About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Casares, Costa del Sol. Built in 2017, this 87sqm residence occupies an elevated ground-floor position several metres above street level, creating a sense of privacy whilst maintaining the convenience of ground-floor access. The southwest and west-facing orientation delivers afternoon and evening sunlight across the 10sqm terrace, where the Mediterranean coastline stretches into view.
Inside, the layout provides 78sqm of usable space arranged as a generously proportioned living room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Both bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, whilst marble flooring runs throughout the interior. The apartment comes fully furnished and presents in excellent condition, requiring no immediate work. A dedicated parking space is included, and residents share access to a communal swimming pool within the development.
The property sits adjacent to the golf course in a quiet residential area of Casares, positioned 10 minutes by car from Casares Costa beach. The town of Casares itself, with its whitewashed houses climbing the hillside, lies 15 minutes inland, whilst Estepona's marina and town centre can be reached in 20 minutes along the coast road. The development's location places it between the traditional mountain village character of inland Casares and the beach clubs of the Costa del Sol shoreline, with Sotogrande's port and polo fields 15 minutes to the west.

Buying this apartment in Casares
Can foreigners buy property in Casares?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Casares. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Casares?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
