What a purchase in Parla costs beyond the price

An appraised average of 2.367,8 €/m² puts this above the national middle. Parla is among the biggest places in Madrid, and its neighbourhoods diverge enough that a municipal average hides more than it shows. Almost nothing here is a second home: 5,68 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence.

What you pay once, at the deed

Community of Madrid charges 6 %, one of the lighter rates in the country. On a Parla resale the Community of Madrid transfer tax is the single largest item after the price itself.

An ageing cadastral register

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

Parla has not revalued since 2009, which is long enough for the gap to market values to be substantial.

What owning costs every year

Rural property is charged 0,96 %, which is steep for land.

The urban IBI rate in Parla is 0,433 %, on the low side nationally.

Cadastral values in Parla average 75.816 € per dwelling, an ordinary base.

On 180.000 € of cadastral value the 0,433 % rate yields 779 €, on a register that has not been refreshed in a long time.

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.
