What buying in Puerto Real actually costs

Almost nothing here is a second home: 16,07 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. The appraised average of 1.963,5 €/m² is close to the ordinary Spanish level. Puerto Real sits in the size class where Cádiz property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals.

The one-off cost at signing

The Andalusia transfer tax applies to resale purchases in Puerto Real; a new build is charged VAT and stamp duty instead. The Andalusia rate is 7 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.
