The cost of buying a home in Sueca

At 1.486,7 €/m² the appraised average sits below the national middle. At 54,44 % not a main residence, the holiday half of the stock is the larger half. Sueca 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 Sueca 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.

An ageing cadastral register

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

Almost the whole register is housing: 23.081 residential units out of 34.498 urban ones.

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.
