About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with golf views in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. This 120sqm residence sits on the frontline of the fairways, where your morning coffee on the 20sqm southeast-facing terrace comes with a view of greens stretching toward the sea. Marble flooring runs throughout, catching the light that pours through double-glazed windows from mid-morning onwards.
Inside, both bedrooms come with fitted wardrobes, served by two full bathrooms finished to excellent standard. The fully fitted kitchen opens onto a layout that includes a separate utility room and a dedicated storage room, while air conditioning and central heating keep the space comfortable year-round. A lift provides direct access from the underground garage, where one private parking space is included. The private terrace overlooks communal gardens and the pool area, with paddle tennis courts available for residents. Fibre optic cabling is installed throughout.
The gated complex sits 400 metres from Casares Playa beach and a five-minute drive from Puerto de la Duquesa marina, where restaurants line the waterfront and shops cluster around the harbour. Entry phone security controls access to the building, and the communal pool and gardens are maintained as part of the urbanisation. The apartment was built in 2017 and comes part-furnished, with the double glazing cutting noise from the surrounding area to near silence.

Buying this apartment in Casares Playa
Can foreigners buy property in Casares Playa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Casares Playa. 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 Playa?
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.
