The cost of buying a home in Alaquàs

Almost nothing here is a second home: 10,72 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. At 1.603,2 €/m² the appraised average sits below the national middle. Alaquàs is a town rather than a city, which in Valencia usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

Buying an existing home in Alaquàs means paying the Valencian Community transfer tax on top of the price, not out of it. Valencian Community applies 9 %, among the highest transfer-tax rates in Spain.

A stock of homes people actually live in

Only 10,72 % of Alaquàs dwellings are not somebody's main home, so the market is driven by people who live here.

13.175 dwellings were counted at the census.

Almost the whole register is housing: 12.992 residential units out of 20.489 urban ones.

How old the cadastral values are

The construction tax is 4 %, the statutory maximum, which matters if you plan to renovate.

The last general revision in Alaquàs was 2010, so cadastral values sit some way below market values.

The recurring yearly cost

The typical Alaquàs home is on the register at 52.845 €, below the national middle.

Land classed as rural is taxed at 0,65 %.

At 0,6 %, the Alaquàs urban IBI rate is an ordinary one.

A cadastral value of 180.000 € taxed at 0,6 % gives 1.080 €, though the register is old enough that real values have moved.

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 market in appraisal terms

Alaquàs housing is appraised at 1.603,2 €/m² on average.

It rests on 81 appraisals, a thin base that a few unusual properties can move.

How many homes change hands

272 home sales went through the notaries in Alaquàs in the year — a quiet market.

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

With 12.992 residential units on the register, that is moderate turnover of the existing stock.
