The cost of buying a home in Algemesí

Homes here are appraised at 984,0 €/m², at the bottom of the national range. Second homes are a minority presence, at 23,71 % of the dwelling stock. Algemesí 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

Valencian Community applies 9 %, among the highest transfer-tax rates in Spain. In Algemesí the transfer tax is often larger than every other closing cost put together, because the tax scales with the price and the fees largely do not.
