About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with beachfront position in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. The property sits directly beside the sand, offering uninterrupted sea views from the 60sqm southwest-facing terrace and immediate access to one of the coast's quieter stretches of shoreline. Built in 1990 and maintained to an excellent standard, the villa includes fitted wardrobes throughout and a basement level that extends the living space beyond the 170sqm main footprint.
Inside, the layout delivers four ensuite bathrooms, a partially fitted kitchen, and a separate utility room that keeps laundry and storage out of the main living areas. The private terrace accommodates outdoor dining and a built-in barbecue, while the landscaped garden requires minimal upkeep. A storage room provides additional space for beach equipment and seasonal furniture. The villa comes part-furnished, and the communal pool serves residents within the gated complex.
The property lies within Casares Playa's beachside urbanisation, a low-density residential area close to local shops and restaurants. Estepona Marina sits 15 minutes west by car, offering a wider selection of waterfront dining and mooring facilities. The setting balances immediate beach access with proximity to services, and the gated complex adds a layer of security to the beachfront location.

Buying this townhouse 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.
