What buying in Andújar actually costs

Homes here are appraised at 815,7 €/m², at the bottom of the national range. Andújar sits in the size class where Jaén property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals. Roughly a third of dwellings, 28,46 %, are not a main residence.

The one-off cost at signing

In Andújar 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.

The recurring yearly cost

At 0,593 %, the Andújar urban IBI rate is an ordinary one.

The typical Andújar home is on the register at 53.762 €, below the national middle.

A cadastral value of 180.000 € taxed at 0,593 % gives 1.067 €, though the register is old enough that real values have moved.

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.

How old the cadastral values are

The last general revision in Andújar was 2011, so cadastral values sit some way below market values.

The tax on construction work is 3,33 %, so a refurbishment budget should carry it.

Against 17.369 registered residential units, a healthy share of the stock changes hands each year.

Andújar saw 562 notarised home sales over the year, a steady rate for its population.
