Why the Casco Antiguo

Investing in property in the Casco Antiguo

The Casco Antiguo is the historic heart of Marbella: whitewashed houses, narrow flower-filled streets, terraces and the iconic Plaza de los Naranjos. For those who want character, culture and everything within walking distance.

🏛️
Historic charm

16th-century whitewashed streets, Moorish town walls, church towers and flowers on the façades: unique heritage in Marbella.

🍽️
Lively restaurant scene

Plaza de los Naranjos and the surrounding streets are full of tapas bars, Michelin-starred restaurants and terraces: lively 365 days a year.

🏖️
5 min to the beach

Straight down Avenida del Mar to the Paseo Marítimo and Marbella's central beaches.

🌟
Investment niche

Scarcity: limited supply, and no new builds are possible within the old town centre. Strong value retention and rental potential.

The Casco Antiguo is the authentic neighbourhood of Marbella Centre. Four features make it the favourite neighbourhood for buyers seeking a cultural lifestyle.

Classic patio houses

Authentic whitewashed houses with a patio and wooden beams: Marbella's unique heritage segment.

Boutique apartments

Small, charming apartments in characterful buildings that retain their Andalusian details.

Penthouses with roof terraces

Penthouses with roof terraces above the old town: a private terrace with views of the town and the sea.

Holiday rental hotspot

A strong Airbnb profile thanks to culture, restaurants and the beach: top ROI in Marbella Centre.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying a home in the Casco Antiguo

Honest answers to the questions international buyers ask most often.

What makes the Casco Antiguo special within Marbella Centre?

Every neighbourhood in Marbella has its own character. The Casco Antiguo stands out for its specific location, type of homes and local atmosphere: our agents will personally advise you on which neighbourhood best suits your wishes. On the Marbella main page you will find an overview of all 15 neighbourhoods in 3 areas.

Is the Casco Antiguo suitable for living permanently or as a holiday home?

Marbella and the Casco Antiguo are ideal for both. Permanent residents enjoy 320+ sunny days a year, year-round amenities, international schools and the short distance to Málaga airport (40 min). As a holiday home, rental potential is strong thanks to golf, beaches and the long tourist season.

Can I rent out a home in the Casco Antiguo?

Yes. For short-term holiday letting (Airbnb, Booking) in Andalusia you need an RTA licence, and the comunidad must allow it. WeSellHomes.es always checks before purchase whether the property can be let. Long-term letting is always possible without an extra licence.

What are the additional purchase costs in the Casco Antiguo?

For resale properties 7% transfer tax (ITP); for new builds 10% VAT (IVA) + 1.2% stamp duty (AJD). Plus notary fees, land registry registration and legal support. Total: 10–12% (resale) or 12–13% (new build) on top of the purchase price. For premium purchases above €2M, legal fees can be higher.

What are the annual costs after buying in the Casco Antiguo?

IBI (municipal property tax) typically €500–€5,000+ per year, community fees for apartments €100–€1,500 per month, buildings insurance and possibly IRNR for non-residents. We provide a full cost overview for each property.

How does the buying process work, step by step?

Offer → reservation contract → arras contract (10% deposit) → legal due diligence → notarial deed (escritura). On average 6–12 weeks for resale properties. A legal point to watch in Marbella: always check that the project lies within a zone approved under the town plan. We guide you through the whole process in English.

Can I get a mortgage for a home in the Casco Antiguo as a foreign buyer?

Yes. If you are not tax resident in Spain, a Spanish bank will usually finance up to 60–70% of the purchase price. For premium purchases above €2M, private banking departments are available. You contribute at least 30–40% from your own funds plus the additional costs. We arrange a free mortgage check.
