Coslada: purchase costs and the yearly bill

Almost nothing here is a second home: 5,39 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. Coslada is one of the larger municipalities of Madrid, with a housing stock too varied to describe by a single average. The appraised average of 3.326,2 €/m² belongs to the small group of expensive Spanish municipalities.

What you pay once, at the deed

Community of Madrid charges 6 %, one of the lighter rates in the country. In Coslada the Community of Madrid transfer tax on a resale runs into tens of thousands of euros, which is why the declared value is scrutinised.

What the appraisers see

The appraised average in Coslada is 3.326,2 €/m², which is a coastal or capital-city price.

The figure comes from 246 appraisals in the quarter.

Homes under five years old are appraised at 3.730,8 €/m² against 3.316,4 €/m² for older stock — a modest premium.

The yearly bill, and why it is small here

Rural property pays 0,5 %.

Coslada levies 0,4 % on urban property, one of the lowest IBI rates you will meet.

At 100.144 € per dwelling, the Coslada cadastral base is high enough that the rate matters.

A cadastral value of 180.000 € taxed at 0,4 % gives 720 €, 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.

A stock of homes people actually live in

14,4 % of main homes are rented in Coslada, below the national pattern.

Only 5,39 % of Coslada dwellings are not somebody's main home, so the market is driven by people who live here.

The whole stock came to 31.337 dwellings at the census.

How old the cadastral values are

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

The last general revision in Coslada was 2010, so cadastral values sit some way below market values.
