Important news for buyers on the Costa Blanca!

26.03.2026

From June 1, 2026, investing in Spanish real estate will become even more attractive. The transfer tax (ITP) on resale homes in the Valencia region is decreasing from 10% to 9%.

What does this mean in concrete terms?

A direct saving on your purchase. For a home priced at €300,000, you are easily talking about a €3,000 benefit that you can spend on improvements or furniture.

What you definitely need to know as a buyer:

• The reduction applies to existing (resale) homes – so the majority of the market on the Costa Blanca
• Up to €1,000,000, you pay the new rate of 9%; above that, it remains 11%
• Stamp duty (AJD) also decreases slightly from 1.5% to 1.4%, providing additional benefits for mortgages, among other things.

Why is this interesting for you as a buyer/investor? With this, the Valencia region positions itself even more strongly relative to other regions in Spain, where rates are often higher.

In other words:

More property value for the same budget. Higher long-term returns.

Consider your purchasing strategy now. In some cases, timing your purchase around June 2026 can make a significant financial difference.
