Plots for sale in Casares

Land is the category that makes Casares worth a look even for buyers who had not considered this end of the coast. Between Marbella and Estepona, building plots have become rare and expensive; here they still appear with some regularity — residential parcels near the golf resorts and the coast, rural land inland, and now and then a ruin with the land around it.

What you are actually buying

Not a house, and not a promise. A plot is worth exactly what the municipal plan permits on it: height, footprint, setbacks, and whether the parcel is classified as urban land, developable land or rural. Two parcels of the same size on the same street can differ by a factor of two on that basis alone, and no photograph shows it. Everything else — the view, the trees, the slope — is secondary to what the file says.

Why there is no price per square metre for plots

Our market tables measure the asking price per square metre of built floor area, and a plot has none. A figure per square metre of land would be worse than useless, because an urban parcel and a rural one of identical size are not comparable in any way that helps a buyer. The list above gives the asking price and the plot size for each parcel; the planning file supplies the rest.

The practical sequence

In order: establish the classification and the plot ratio in writing, through a lawyer, before you make an offer. Then the access — who owns and maintains the road, and whether there is a right of way in the deeds rather than in practice. Then the services: mains water, electricity and drainage, or the cost of bringing them in, which on a rural parcel can exceed the price of the land. Then the build period, which in this municipality is measured in years rather than months.

Who buys land here

People who want a specific house. That is the whole group, and it is a small one: anyone who would be satisfied with a finished property buys a finished property, because building costs more and takes longer than almost everyone expects. What it offers in return is the thing money cannot otherwise buy on this coast — exactly the house you want, on exactly the plot you chose.
