About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. Built in 2023 and maintained in excellent condition, this first-floor residence captures morning light through its southeast-facing orientation, flooding the 105sqm interior with natural brightness while framing views across the Mediterranean.
The open-plan living and dining area connects directly to a fully fitted modern kitchen, creating 105sqm of internal space that extends onto a 40sqm terrace overlooking the communal pool and gardens. Three bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, serviced by two bathrooms finished to contemporary standards. The apartment includes one allocated parking space and offers optional furniture, allowing immediate occupation or personalisation. Air conditioning maintains comfort year-round, while the single-level layout eliminates internal stairs.
Solemar provides residents with a large communal swimming pool set within landscaped gardens, creating a low-maintenance coastal base. The complex sits 2km from Casares Costa beach, placing the shoreline within a five-minute drive. Estepona's marina and old town lie 15 minutes east along the A7, while Sotogrande's port and polo facilities are equidistant to the west. The apartment's 2023 construction means it meets current building regulations for insulation and energy efficiency.

9 questions answered
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.
