Housing aid for young buyers in Valencia 2026: discounts and subsidies

If you’re under 35 buying your first home in the Valencian Community in 2026, you can save €4,000-12,000 between tax discounts, IRPF deductions, and public guarantees.

The five main aids for young buyers in 2026

1. ITP reduced to 8% (instead of 10%)

Eligibility: under 35s buying primary residence, declared value ≤ €180,000.

Real saving: for a €150,000 home, ITP at 10% is €15,000; at 8%, €12,000. Saving: €3,000.

2. ICO 20% guarantee (100% financing)

Eligibility: under 35s or families with minors, income up to 4.5x IPREM (≈€37,800/person in 2026), property up to €200,000.

Advantage: finance 100% of price. Bank gives 80% via standard mortgage, ICO guarantees additional 20%. You only fund taxes, notary, and registry costs.

Application: at the bank when applying for the mortgage.

3. Valencian autonomous IRPF deduction

Eligibility: under 35s, primary residence.

Benefit: 5% on amounts paid (mortgage or IBI tied to primary residence), maximum €1,000/year over 5 years.

4. Young Rent Bonus

Eligibility: 18-35, primary residence rental with monthly rent up to €600 (exceptions to €900), tenant income ≤ €24,318/year.

Benefit: €250/month for 24 months. Total: €6,000.

5. AJD reductions on mortgage

Eligibility: under 35s, primary residence.

Benefit: reduced AJD on mortgage formalisation. Modest saving (€200-500) but adds up.

Practical case: 32-year-old buying €140,000 flat in Sueca

Concept	Standard rate	Young rate	Saving
ITP	10% (€14,000)	8% (€11,200)	€2,800
IRPF deduction (5 years)	0	€1,000	€1,000
Total saved			€3,800

Common mistakes claiming aid

1. Not registering as resident before purchase. If you don’t register at the new address, you lose primary-residence status and all bonuses.

2. Buying in parents’ name “for safety”. You lose all young-buyer aid.

3. Exceeding price limit by a few thousand. If you exceed €180,000, you lose the entire bonus, not pro-rata.

4. Not claiming IRPF deduction each year. It’s your responsibility — Hacienda doesn’t apply it automatically.

5. Not comparing offers from ICO programme banks. Even with ICO guarantees, rate and tie conditions vary.
