Buying and owning a home in Rincón de la Victoria

The appraised average of 3.343,2 €/m² belongs to the small group of expensive Spanish municipalities. Rincón de la Victoria is large enough for several distinct sub-markets to exist inside one Málaga municipality. Roughly a third of dwellings, 31,89 %, are not a main residence.

The one-off cost at signing

In Rincón de la Victoria the Andalusia transfer tax on a resale runs into tens of thousands of euros, which is why the declared value is scrutinised. The Andalusia rate is 7 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.
