What buying in Arroyomolinos actually costs

Arroyomolinos sits in the size class where Madrid property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals. Almost nothing here is a second home: 8,17 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. The ministry publishes no appraisal average for this municipality, so the market figures below stop at the notarial sales count.

What you pay once, at the deed

The Community of Madrid transfer tax applies to resale purchases in Arroyomolinos; a new build is charged VAT and stamp duty instead. Community of Madrid charges 6 %, one of the lighter rates in the country.

What owning costs every year

The urban IBI rate in Arroyomolinos is 0,47 %, on the low side nationally.

Rural property is charged 0,91 %, which is steep for land.

The register values the average Arroyomolinos home at 128.505 €, which is where the yearly bill comes from.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,47 % is 846 € a year, but the base is dated and a revision would change it sharply.

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.

What the market looks like

The ministry does not publish this figure for Arroyomolinos, so it is stated here as not available rather than estimated.

The cadastral values are dated

The construction tax is 4 %, the statutory maximum, which matters if you plan to renovate.

The Arroyomolinos register dates from 2005; a future revision could move the yearly bill significantly even if the rate never changes.
