The cost of buying a home in Coín

Roughly a third of dwellings, 31,79 %, are not a main residence. Coín is a town rather than a city, which in Málaga usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock. The ministry publishes no appraisal average for this municipality, so the market figures below stop at the notarial sales count.

The one-off cost at signing

The Andalusia transfer tax applies to resale purchases in Coín; a new build is charged VAT and stamp duty instead. The Andalusia rate is 7 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.

What the town hall charges every year

The typical Coín home is on the register at 56.268 €, below the national middle.

Coín sets its urban IBI at 0,73 %, a little above what most town halls charge.

The rural rate of 0,82 % is unusually close to the urban one.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,73 % is 1.314 € 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 Coín, so it is stated here as not available rather than estimated.

The cadastral values are dated

The tax on construction work is 2,8 %, so a refurbishment budget should carry it.

The Coín register dates from 2002; a future revision could move the yearly bill significantly even if the rate never changes.

The shape of the housing stock

In Coín, 31,79 % of dwellings are not a main home, enough for holiday demand to matter without dominating.

12.729 dwellings were counted at the census.

Almost the whole register is housing: 12.609 residential units out of 19.795 urban ones.
