A building plot with a licence already in place

Close to the beach, local amenities and several golf courses on the Costa del Sol, this 863 square metre plot of land in Cabopino, Cabopino comes to the market as a resale parcel with its planning paperwork advanced. The central fact of this listing is that the building licence is already in place, removing the municipal waiting period that normally delays a self-build on the coast.

The parcel and what the licence allows

At 863 square metres, the parcel is sized for a detached residence with private grounds, rather than a sprawling estate that requires heavy maintenance. The existing project and licence are drawn up for a contemporary villa with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and four parking spaces. Buying land in Cabopino, Cabopino with an approved project means the maximum buildable volume, the footprint and the setbacks have already been tested against local town planning rules. A buyer who wants to build to the existing plans can move straight to tendering with contractors, while a buyer who wants to alter the design will need to check with an architect whether those changes require a minor amendment or a fresh application.

Position and surroundings

The plot sits within reach of the coast and the fairways that define this eastern stretch of the area. Being near several golf courses and the beach shapes how the finished house will be used throughout the year, as daily errands, dining and sea access do not depend on long drives. The provision for four off-street parking spaces within the project is a practical necessity in a residential golf and beach zone where households and visiting guests rely on multiple cars.

What to establish before making an offer

Because this is a resale plot sold with an approved project, a buyer's lawyer and technical architect have specific items to verify before committing. A buyer should review the details of the licence and project plans with their advisers before purchasing. On site, a buyer looking at land in Cabopino, Cabopino should also look at the slope of the ground, the connection points for water, electricity and drainage at the plot edge, and how neighbouring buildings sit in relation to the planned orientation of the parcel.
