The cost of buying a home in Puente Genil

Second homes are a minority presence, at 25,1 % of the dwelling stock. Homes here are appraised at 987,1 €/m², at the bottom of the national range. Puente Genil is a town rather than a city, which in Córdoba usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock.

The one-off cost at signing

In Puente Genil 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 Andalusia rate is 7 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.

What the market looks like at the cheap end

Appraisers value free-market housing in Puente Genil at 987,1 €/m², which puts a whole flat within reach of a modest deposit.

It rests on 95 appraisals, a thin base that a few unusual properties can move.

What the housing stock is like

14.955 dwellings were counted at the census.

25,1 % of dwellings in Puente Genil are not a main residence — a normal proportion for an inland town.

Tenure is published only for the larger municipalities and the provincial capitals, which leaves Puente Genil out.

The yearly bill, which is not small here

A cadastral value of 38.529 € per residential unit keeps the Puente Genil bill modest whatever the rate.

Rural property is charged 0,989 %, which is steep for land.

The 0,800 % urban IBI rate in Puente Genil is high by Spanish standards.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,800 %, or 1.440 € 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

The tax on construction work is 3 %, so a refurbishment budget should carry it.

Puente Genil last revalued its cadastre in 1996, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.
