The cost of buying a home in la Vall d'Uixó

la Vall d'Uixó is a town rather than a city, which in Castellón usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock. Homes here are appraised at 975,9 €/m², at the bottom of the national range. Second homes are a minority presence, at 21,81 % of the dwelling stock.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

Valencian Community applies 9 %, among the highest transfer-tax rates in Spain. In la Vall d'Uixó 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.
