The cost of buying a home in San Pedro del Pinatar

The ministry publishes no appraisal average for this municipality, so the market figures below stop at the notarial sales count. At 55,74 % not a main residence, the holiday half of the stock is the larger half. San Pedro del Pinatar is a town rather than a city, which in Murcia usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock.

The one-off cost at signing

The Region of Murcia transfer tax applies to resale purchases in San Pedro del Pinatar; a new build is charged VAT and stamp duty instead. The Region of Murcia rate is 7,75 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.
