Sorello Guides

What buying in Lloret de Mar actually costs

An appraised average of 2.364,2 €/m² puts this above the national middle. 40,04 % of the housing stock is not a main residence, a genuinely mixed town. Lloret de Mar sits in the size class where Girona property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

On a Lloret de Mar resale the Catalonia transfer tax is the single largest item after the price itself. 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.

Lloret de Mar last revalued its cadastre in 1989, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.

The typical Lloret de Mar home is on the register at 59.018 €, below the national middle.

The 0,803 % urban IBI rate in Lloret de Mar is high by Spanish standards.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,803 %, or 1.445 € 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.
