Buying guide and process: how to acquire your new build property in Fuerteventura

Buying a new build property is different from buying a resale home: it involves specific legal guarantees, construction timelines, and customization decisions that do not exist in the resale market. This guide explains how the full process works with Casilla de Costa, from initial contact to handing over the keys.

Why new builds are different from resale properties

A new build property doesn’t just feature brand-new facilities: it comes with legal guarantees that the resale market cannot offer. The 10-Year Structural Insurance (Seguro Decenal) covers structural defects for ten years, and all construction complies with current energy regulations from day one — with no renovation surprises or outdated energy certificates.

The step-by-step process with Casilla de Costa

1. Initial consultation

We understand what you are looking for — budget, property type (villa or apartment), number of bedrooms — and present the available developments that fit your criteria.

2. Online or in-person visit

Explore developments via a virtual tour or schedule a visit to the island. Many of our buyers complete the entire process remotely.

3. Reservation and payment guarantees

Upon reserving, every advance payment you make during construction is protected by a Bank Guarantee mandatory by law — if construction is not completed, the bank refunds your money in full. Never buy off-plan without this guarantee, whether with us or any other developer.

4. Customization of finishes

<p>Depending on the construction phase in which you reserve, you can customize certain finishes of your home — from materials to the layout of certain spaces.</p>

5. Contract, notary, and key delivery

We guide you through the contract review and the signing before a notary. Once construction is complete, final checks are conducted before hand-over — the moment the property officially becomes yours.

Energy certification and construction guarantees

All our homes are delivered with an energy efficiency certificate and legally required structural guarantees. This translates into lower utility bills and less maintenance compared to a resale home — with no surprises or hidden costs during the first years.

Frequently asked questions

Can I customize my property if I buy off-plan?

It depends on the construction phase in which you reserve — the earlier you reserve, the more flexibility you will have to customize finishes and certain spaces.

What happens to my money if the development is delayed?

All advance payments are protected by a Bank Guarantee under the Building Management Act (LOE) — this is a legal guarantee, not a commercial promise.

Do I need to be in Spain to complete the purchase?

No. The process is designed to be completed remotely, with online tours and assisted signing when you cannot travel.
