After the real estate crisis in 2008 the valuations are usually quite conservative and are often 10 to 15 percent under the actual sales price. The bank will normally approve a mortgage of 70 % of the valuation. If the valuation is higher than the sales price the bank will use the lowest value.

There will be an additional notary fee, land registry fee, stamp duty and bank fee for the mortgage.

Currently the transfer tax on real estate I Andalucia “Impuesto sobre Transacciones Patrimoniales (ITP)” is 7 % of the  highest of the purchase price or the “valor de referencia.”
