About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Casares, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence spans 65 square metres inside with a south-facing terrace of 44 square metres that doubles the usable living area. The open-plan interior connects kitchen, dining and lounge spaces in a single light-filled volume, whilst both bedrooms benefit from the property's elevated position and coastal outlook.
The layout prioritises outdoor living, with the terrace accessible directly from the main living area. Inside, two full bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, and the kitchen forms part of the open-concept design rather than sitting behind a separate wall. One parking space is included, and residents share access to a communal pool. Built in 2025, the property occupies both the ground entry level of the penthouse tier and the top floor of the building, ensuring no neighbours above.
Casares sits inland from the Costa del Sol coastline, positioned between Estepona to the east and Sotogrande to the west. The penthouse lies within a 15-minute drive of Casares Costa beach, where several chiringuitos line the shore. Estepona's marina and old town centre are 20 minutes by car, whilst Sotogrande's golf courses and port sit a similar distance in the opposite direction. The property's south orientation captures sunlight across the terrace from mid-morning through to evening.

9 questions answered
Buying this penthouse 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.
