What buying in Oleiros actually costs

Oleiros sits in the size class where A Coruña property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals. The appraised average of 2.108,4 €/m² is close to the ordinary Spanish level. Roughly a third of dwellings, 28 %, are not a main residence.

What the deed itself costs

The Galicia transfer tax applies to resale purchases in Oleiros; a new build is charged VAT and stamp duty instead. Galicia applies 8 %, at the heavier end of the ordinary range.

The shape of the housing stock

Almost the whole register is housing: 19.568 residential units out of 28.463 urban ones.

In Oleiros, 28 % of dwellings are not a main home, enough for holiday demand to matter without dominating.

No rented share is available for Oleiros: the census stops short of municipalities this size.

What the town hall charges every year

Oleiros sets its urban IBI at 0,679 %, a little above what most town halls charge.

The typical Oleiros home is on the register at 52.420 €, below the national middle.

Rural land carries 0,75 %, close to the urban rate.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,679 %, or 1.222 € a year — on a register so old that the rate tells you little about the eventual bill.

The cadastral value in this example is a round illustrative figure, not the cadastral value of any particular property here. Ask for the last IBI receipt: it states the real one.

What the market looks like

New and old are appraised at much the same level, 2.195,8 €/m² against 2.102,6 €/m².

The average appraisal in Oleiros is 2.108,4 €/m², an ordinary Spanish level.

It rests on 125 appraisals, a thin base that a few unusual properties can move.

The pace of sales

Oleiros saw 512 notarised home sales over the year, a steady rate for its population.

The quarters are very uneven — Fourth quarter against First quarter — which in a market this size usually means a development completing.

With 19.568 residential units on the register, that is moderate turnover of the existing stock.

A cadastral register left untouched for decades

Building work is taxed at 3,5 %, near the top of what town halls may charge.

Oleiros last revalued its cadastre in 1998, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.
