The situation of housing market fully entered the debate in the Congress of Deputies, with the minister Isabelle Rodriguez trying to provide solutions to a tragedy that comes from far away. Just take a quick look at the major home buying and selling platforms to see the horrors that can be found there.
For example, we found an apartment with only 12 square meters in the center of Madrid sold at the “modest” price of 92,000 euros. It is so small that you have to sleep in a practically walled attic.
If we go to Barcelona, we find a studio in the center. Once again we have it in 11 square meters for a price of 157,000 eurosa cave where they allow you to use the bridge because there is little space to move inside.
But there is more, because we came to see a semi-basement in the center of Madrid of 26 square meters, 93,600 euros And a deplorable state. In addition, they assure LaSexta that He doesn’t even have a certificate of occupancy..
There are more storage rooms pretending to be houses and are sold at real estate prices. There is one offered for 55,000 euros which includes Wi-Fi, kitchen, bathroom and television. The certificate of habitability would depend on aspects such as the surface area or ventilation conditions, requirements which vary according to the territories.
In Madrid, for example, you need 38 useful square meters for a house and 25 for a studio. In Barcelona there are 36 square meters for any type of housing. Houses sold with less surface area obtained their permits with very old legislation.
According to Idealista, the largest real estate portal in Spain, they are not responsible for whether or not the accommodation offered has an occupation permit.
