The cost of buying a home in Crevillent

Crevillent is a town rather than a city, which in Alicante usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock. Roughly a third of dwellings, 29,78 %, are not a main residence. Homes here are appraised at 1.020,0 €/m², at the bottom of the national range.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

Valencian Community applies 9 %, among the highest transfer-tax rates in Spain. In Crevillent the transfer tax is often larger than every other closing cost put together, because the tax scales with the price and the fees largely do not.

How many homes change hands

Second quarter carried far more deeds than Third quarter, so timing an offer against the calendar is worth something here.

With 14.982 residential units on the register, that is moderate turnover of the existing stock.

387 home sales went through the notaries in Crevillent in the year — a quiet market.

The shape of the housing stock

Almost the whole register is housing: 14.982 residential units out of 23.532 urban ones.

15.357 dwellings were counted at the census.

In Crevillent, 29,78 % of dwellings are not a main home, enough for holiday demand to matter without dominating.

What the market looks like at the cheap end

It rests on 72 appraisals, a thin base that a few unusual properties can move.

Appraisers value free-market housing in Crevillent at 1.020,0 €/m², which puts a whole flat within reach of a modest deposit.

What the town hall charges every year

Crevillent sets its urban IBI at 0,72 %, a little above what most town halls charge.

Rural land carries 0,72 %, close to the urban rate.

A cadastral value of 44.529 € per residential unit keeps the Crevillent bill modest whatever the rate.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,72 % is 1.296 € a year, but the base is dated and a revision would change it sharply.

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.
