The cost of buying a home in Almendralejo

Homes here are appraised at 939,7 €/m², at the bottom of the national range. Second homes are a minority presence, at 24,44 % of the dwelling stock. Almendralejo is a town rather than a city, which in Badajoz usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock.

What the deed itself costs

Extremadura charges transfer tax on a progressive scale rather than a single rate, starting at 8 % and rising through bands as the value goes up; the table below applies the scale bracket by bracket. In Almendralejo 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.

The recurring yearly cost

The rural rate of 0,8 % is unusually close to the urban one.

At 0,58 %, the Almendralejo urban IBI rate is an ordinary one.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,58 %, or 1.044 € 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.

A cadastral register left untouched for decades

Almendralejo last revalued its cadastre in 1994, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.

Building work is taxed at 3,8 %, near the top of what town halls may charge.
