The cost of buying a home in Bétera

Roughly a third of dwellings, 29,05 %, are not a main residence. The ministry publishes no appraisal average for this municipality, so the market figures below stop at the notarial sales count. Bétera 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. The Valencian Community transfer tax applies to resale purchases in Bétera; a new build is charged VAT and stamp duty instead.

Where this one stands

Set against the other Valencia municipalities in this guide, it has the highest average cadastral value per home.

Put beside the rest of the country, its average cadastral value per home belongs to the third-dearest twentieth.

Within Valencia, that is the highest share of the urban register that is housing among the municipalities this guide covers.

Country-wide, that urban property-tax rate is one of the band just above the bottom quarter.

Of the Valencia municipalities covered here, this one comes eighth lowest on tax rate on construction work.

Measured against its neighbours

Put beside the rest of the country, its share of dwellings that are not a main residence belongs to the band just below the top quarter.

Of the Valencia municipalities covered here, this one comes fifth lowest on total dwelling stock.

Nationally, that rural property-tax rate falls in the eighth twentieth from the bottom.

Ranked against its neighbours in Valencia, it holds the fifth lowest number of urban cadastral units of the group.

Taking every municipality covered here together, the count of registered residential units is in the fourth-cheapest twentieth.

The comparison that matters

Judged only against Valencia, the year of the last cadastral revision here is the eighth lowest in the guide.

Put beside the rest of the country, its number of notarised home sales belongs to the band just above the bottom quarter.

Set against the other Valencia municipalities in this guide, it has the eighth lowest population.

The pace of sales

Bétera saw 464 notarised home sales over the year, a steady rate for its population.

Against 13.477 registered residential units, a healthy share of the stock changes hands each year.

Fourth quarter carried far more deeds than Third quarter, so timing an offer against the calendar is worth something here.

The annual cost of holding the property

Land classed as rural is taxed at 0,63 %.

At 90.100 € per dwelling, the Bétera cadastral base is high enough that the rate matters.

Bétera charges 0,53 % on urban property, modestly below the common level.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,53 % is 954 € 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 shape of the housing stock

In Bétera, 29,05 % of dwellings are not a main home, enough for holiday demand to matter without dominating.

12.966 dwellings were counted at the census.

Almost the whole register is housing: 13.477 residential units out of 19.976 urban ones.

What the market looks like

The ministry does not publish this figure for Bétera, so it is stated here as not available rather than estimated.

The cadastral values are dated

The Bétera register dates from 2004; a future revision could move the yearly bill significantly even if the rate never changes.

Building work is taxed at 3,5 %, near the top of what town halls may charge.
