With an average price of less than €560.00 per square metre, these 10 villages are the cheapest places to buy property in Valencia Province in 2021.
Property bargain hunters have always had their eyes fixed on Spain. And that’s for a good reason. There’s a lot of cheap properties on the market. Even with the price increase experienced since 2015, some of the villages in the province of Valencia have never managed to get out of the major property crises that started in 2008 and still offer some extremely cheap properties.
With the current trend of the exodus from the city centres, they are becoming more and more interesting. Unfortunately, the biggest drawback is that years of crisis have taken their toll on the condition of these properties, some of them beyond repair and some of them in a sorry state.
