What a purchase in Dos Hermanas costs beyond the price

The appraised average of 1.959,7 €/m² is close to the ordinary Spanish level. Almost nothing here is a second home: 15,6 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. Dos Hermanas is among the biggest places in Sevilla, and its neighbourhoods diverge enough that a municipal average hides more than it shows.

The one-off cost at signing

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