What buying in Sant Feliu de Llobregat actually costs

Almost nothing here is a second home: 8,26 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. The appraised average of 3.377,7 €/m² belongs to the small group of expensive Spanish municipalities. Sant Feliu de Llobregat sits in the size class where Barcelona property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

In Sant Feliu de Llobregat the Catalonia transfer tax on a resale runs into tens of thousands of euros, which is why the declared value is scrutinised. Catalonia charges transfer tax on a progressive scale rather than a single rate, starting at 10 % and rising through bands as the value goes up; the table below applies the scale bracket by bracket.
