Step by step
From Plot to Keys
Buying land and building in Spain is straightforward with the right team. These are the stages every project goes through.
-
01
Define your brief
We start with how you want to live: size, style, views, privacy, budget and timescale. This shapes the kind of plot you need and where to look.
-
02
Find the right plot
We short-list plots that suit the brief – considering orientation, gradient, access, views and neighbouring development – and arrange viewings.
-
03
Check before you buy
Before you commit, the plot’s urban-planning status is verified with the town hall: permitted use, buildable area, height limits and setbacks. A lawyer checks title, charges and boundaries.
-
04
Complete the purchase
With due diligence complete, the purchase is signed before a Spanish notary and registered in your name. You will need an NIE (foreigner’s identification number) and a Spanish bank account.
-
05
Design your villa
Architects develop the concept into a basic project, working with M2 Casas on budget and buildability, so the design you love is one you can build.
-
06
Obtain the building licence
The basic project is submitted to the town hall for the building licence. We manage the process and any questions from the planning department.
-
07
Build
Construction follows the detailed execution project, with regular site visits, progress reports and quality control from foundations to finishes.
-
08
Handover
On completion the architect certifies the work, the first-occupation paperwork is filed and utilities are connected. Then we hand you the keys.

Questions
Frequently Asked
How long does it take to build a villa in Marbella?
As a guide, allow several months for design and licensing and a further 14–24 months for construction, depending on the size and complexity of the villa. We’ll give you a realistic timeline for your project.
Can I buy a plot from abroad?
Yes. Many of our clients buy from overseas. With a power of attorney, your lawyer can sign on your behalf, and we keep you updated throughout with photos, video and reports.
What does it cost to build?
Build costs depend on size, specification, the plot’s gradient and the finishes you choose. We prepare a transparent budget with you before construction begins.
Do I have to use your construction partner?
No – you are free to work with any architect or builder. Most clients choose M2 Casas because it gives them one team and one point of contact from plot to keys.
