How much are buying costs in Spain on top of the price?
For a resale, budget roughly 10–14% of the purchase price all-in: regional ITP transfer tax (6–11%) is the bulk, plus notary, registry and legal fees of about 2–3% combined. New-builds pay 10% IVA plus ~1–1.5% AJD instead of ITP.
How much stamp duty does a foreigner pay in the UK?
On top of the standard SDLT bands, a non-UK-resident buying an additional property pays both the 2% non-resident surcharge and the 5% additional-dwelling surcharge — about 7 percentage points extra across all bands. If it is your only home worldwide and you'll live in it, only the 2% non-resident surcharge applies.
