Gandia: purchase costs and the yearly bill

At 44,41 % not a main residence, the holiday half of the stock is the larger half. At 1.646,5 €/m² the appraised average sits below the national middle. Gandia is one of the larger municipalities of Valencia, with a housing stock too varied to describe by a single average.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

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

The market in appraisal terms

Gandia housing is appraised at 1.646,5 €/m² on average.

The figure comes from 279 appraisals in the quarter.

A stock built largely for holidays

With 44,41 % of dwellings not a main home, Gandia is more holiday market than housing market.

The whole stock came to 54.541 dwellings at the census.

Renting accounts for 16,36 % of main homes in Gandia, close to the Spanish norm.

A cadastral register left untouched for decades

Gandia last revalued its cadastre in 1997, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.

The tax on construction work is 3,25 %, so a refurbishment budget should carry it.

Owning it: the annual charge

Rural land carries 0,684 %, close to the urban rate.

A cadastral value of 44.501 € per residential unit keeps the Gandia bill modest whatever the rate.

Gandia applies 0,94 % to urban property, close to the statutory ceiling.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,94 %, or 1.692 € a year — on a register so old that the rate tells you little about the eventual bill.

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.
