About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. The property sits directly on the sand, with the Mediterranean lapping at the edge of the communal gardens and uninterrupted sea views stretching from the terrace. Built across 194sqm, this 1995 townhouse delivers rare direct beach access without the premium pricing of newer developments.
Inside, the layout separates living and sleeping quarters across multiple levels. The ground-floor living-dining room spans the width of the property and includes a working fireplace, opening onto a 50sqm terrace that connects directly to the shared gardens and beach beyond. The independent kitchen provides full counter space and storage, whilst four double bedrooms and four bathrooms occupy the upper floors. The terrace alone offers enough space for outdoor dining, sun loungers, and a seated lounge area, all positioned to capture the sea breeze and coastal views.
The property forms part of a small beachfront development with a communal swimming pool and maintained gardens that lead directly onto Casares Playa beach. Estepona Marina lies 15 minutes west by car, whilst the town centre of Casares, perched in the hills above, sits 20 minutes inland. The beachfront location places you within walking distance of a handful of chiringuitos and the coastal path that runs between Estepona and Sabinillas, with Duquesa port and golf courses a short drive east. The development maintains a low profile, with just a handful of townhouses sharing the beachfront plot.

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.
