THE Housing law This could pay off in terms of rent. At least that’s what Catalan Minister of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, Sílvia Paneque minutes before starting the Sectoral conference on housing and the urban agenda which took place at Madrid.
Shortly before meeting the regional managers in this area and the Minister of Housing, Isabel RodríguezPaneque shared with journalists the first data obtained during the first two quarters of application of the law: the average price of rents in certain areas of the region has already experienced slight decreases of 3% to 5%.
First data on the housing law
Failing to compare the figures from different public and independent observatories, the data already seems to reveal a confinement of rental income where the rent ceiling has been limited. This is what Paneque underlined, who recalled that This data will be announced exactly within the next week.
Regardless, he indicated that the housing problem is complex and It’s not the only tool, nor is there just one recipe..
Indeed, his ministry is working on a proposal which will also be announced next week as part of the general political orientation debate in Cataloniawhere one of the packages to be developed would be the delegated constructionthat’s to say make the public domain available to third parties it could be private for housing construction.
Stressed municipalities in Catalonia
In this way, he explained, ownership of the land and building is maintained, but third parties can manage the rentals and have a margin of return.
The advisor reported on September 26, after meeting with the Minister of Housing, Isabel Rodríguez, that In Catalonia, 140 municipalities have been declared under tension and they will be extended to 131 more, which together will represent the 90% of the Catalan population.
