Property guides for Spain
Two kinds of municipal guide, one for buyers and one for renters, plus one page per comunidad autónoma for the transfer tax that applies across it. Pick a province to see what is available there. Nothing on these pages is an estimate: every number is a record from a named public source, shown with the period it covers and the date it was retrieved, and a page that cannot source a figure says so rather than guessing it.

Stamp duty is not added on top
A resale that pays transfer tax is not also charged the variable stamp duty on the same deed: Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1993, art. 31.2 restricts that rate to deeds not subject to transfer tax. A cost estimate showing both against a resale is wrong.
The reduced rates, and who actually qualifies
- The property must be the buyer’s habitual residence, not a second home and not a letting.
- The ceiling is tested against the declared value of the dwelling, not against the mortgage.
- The reduced rate is claimed in the return itself; nobody applies it for you.
- The same article carries further reduced cases with their own, higher ceilings — disability, large families and buyers in depopulated municipalities among them.
What the notary and the tax office will want
- An NIE and valid identification for every buyer.
- A recent nota simple from the land registry.
- The last IBI receipt, with the cadastral reference on it.
- A community-of-owners certificate that the charges are paid.
- The energy performance certificate from the seller.
- The transfer-tax return, filed after the deed.
