Stamp duty can vary slightly depending upon the region – and, when you find a property that you like, it’s worth doing a little research and finding out the specific rates for that location. Here in Andalusia, if you wish to buy a new build property, stamp duty is currently set at 1.5% of the purchase price. For re-sale properties, you won’t be expected to pay any stamp duty – but you will need to pay transfer tax (i.e. Impuesto Sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales) instead. This is typically 7% of the purchase price. However, it can vary, with some regions applying rates as high as 11%.
