About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Casares, Costa del Sol. The 109-square-metre private terrace and solarium transforms this top-floor residence into an open-air retreat, offering space for outdoor dining, a dedicated barbecue zone, and complete privacy under the Andalusian sun.
Inside, 111 square metres of living space includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged across the second floor of a two-storey building. The southwest orientation floods the interior with afternoon light, whilst the unfurnished layout allows incoming owners to configure the space without constraint. A fully equipped kitchen opens to the main living area, and the property includes one underground parking space. Built in 2007 and maintained in excellent condition, the penthouse retains its original finishes throughout.
Casares sits where the coastal plains meet the Sierra Bermeja foothills, with the property positioned between golf fairways and the Mediterranean shoreline. Estepona's marina lies 15 minutes by car along the A-7, providing access to waterfront restaurants and the town's historic quarter. The terrace overlooks surrounding golf greens and mountain ridges to the north, with glimpses of the sea visible from the eastern edge of the solarium.

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.
