What buying in Écija actually costs

The average appraisal is 1.157,3 €/m², which is cheap by Spanish standards. Écija sits in the size class where Sevilla property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals. Second homes are a minority presence, at 20,33 % of the dwelling stock.

The one-off cost at signing

The transfer tax set by Andalusia is the one closing cost in Écija that nobody can negotiate. The Andalusia rate is 7 %, around the middle of the Spanish range.

What homes are appraised at

The appraised average in Écija is 1.157,3 €/m², cheap enough that transaction costs are a large share of the total outlay.

It rests on 120 appraisals, a thin base that a few unusual properties can move.

The annual cost of holding the property

Rural property is charged 1,01 %, which is steep for land.

Écija charges 0,5 % on urban property, modestly below the common level.

The typical Écija home is on the register at 56.884 €, below the national middle.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,5 % is 900 € 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.

The pace of sales

With 18.224 residential units on the register, that is moderate turnover of the existing stock.

Écija saw 521 notarised home sales over the year, a steady rate for its population.

First quarter was the busiest quarter and Third quarter the thinnest, but the spread was mild.

The cadastral values are dated

The tax on construction work is 3 %, so a refurbishment budget should carry it.

The Écija register dates from 2005; a future revision could move the yearly bill significantly even if the rate never changes.

What the housing stock is like

20,33 % of dwellings in Écija are not a main residence — a normal proportion for an inland town.

No rented share is available for Écija: the census stops short of municipalities this size.

Almost the whole register is housing: 18.224 residential units out of 28.711 urban ones.
