Buying in Jerez de la Frontera: tax, IBI and the market

Almost nothing here is a second home: 14,27 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. Jerez de la Frontera is a city, and in Cádiz that means its districts behave like separate markets that happen to share a town hall. At 1.743,4 €/m² the appraised average sits below the national middle.

The one-off cost at signing

Buying an existing home in Jerez de la Frontera means paying the Andalusia transfer tax on top of the price, not out of it. The Andalusia rate is 7 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.
