Approved building licence for an Old Town project

An approved Obra Mayor building licence and complete architectural execution plans come with this property, allowing construction work to start immediately without waiting for municipal sign-off. The plans configure the building as a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom townhouse in Estepona with a built area of 165 square metres. It is sold in its current condition as a resale project, meaning the buyer takes over the existing structure and the granted paperwork to manage the build directly.

Three floors, a tower and the technical specifications

The approved layout distributes the 165 square metres of built area across three floors plus an upper tower. Because the project is at the pre-construction stage, the buyer avoids paying for a recent renovation that might not suit their taste, while skipping the long delay of planning applications. The technical plans specify an aerothermal system and solar panels, which handle hot water and climate control while keeping running costs down. Underfloor heating and integrated LED lighting are also written into the execution project. A buyer reviewing the file should check the exact layout of the four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the architectural drawings, as well as the builder quotes against the specified engineering.

Plot size, garden and the rooftop pool

The property includes a 15 square metre plot with a garden area, which in a dense town centre setting provides a small private buffer or courtyard rather than an expansive lawn. Because ground-level space is compact, the primary outdoor area in the approved project is placed at the top of the building. The plans incorporate a rooftop swimming pool and solarium terrace with open views across the whitewashed streets of the Old Town. Putting the pool on the roof solves the problem of shade from neighbouring houses, though a buyer will want to review the structural calculations for the water load and the access route for building machinery.

Scope to expand up to 260 square metres

Beyond the granted residential project for a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom townhouse in Estepona, there is official confirmation from the Estepona Town Hall that the built area can be expanded up to approximately 260 square metres. That additional volume allows the building to be reconfigured into a boutique hotel of up to 10 bedrooms. All documentation is available for inspection before purchase, including the executive project plans that formed the basis of the current licence, the granted licence itself, and the municipal confirmation of the maximum buildable size. A buyer considering the larger commercial option will need to check the timeline and process for modifying the existing licence to cover the extra square metres.
