Apartment in Amara – Riberas de Loyola, San Sebastián

Location
At the very beginning of the Riberas de Loyola district, next to the church and a ten-minute walk from the Arcco shopping centre and the Anoeta stadium and sports complex. Riberas de Loyola is one of the newest residential areas in San Sebastián, laid out along the banks of the river Urumea, with wide pavements, landscaped squares, cycle lanes and a riverside promenade that leads directly into Amara and on to the city centre.

Property Transfer Tax (ITP) in the Basque Country – Gipuzkoa: 2.5% reduced rate for a main residence (conditions: occupation within 12 months and residence for 3 years; maximum 120 m² built / 96 m² usable, or a 300 m² plot; the buyer may not own more than 25% of another home or commercial unit unless committed to selling it within 2 years; the surface limit does not apply to large families). 4% general rate on the transfer of homes, garage spaces (maximum 2) and annexes in the same building. 6% for large holders (buyers owning more than 5 homes with over 50% ownership).
