The Association of Developers and Builders of Buildings of Catalonia (APCE) and the employer Promotion of Work They have ensured that the new definition of large holder announced by the Government of Catalonia, which means lowering the number of properties from 10 to five to consider the owners as large holders, “make it impossible to access the house“.
“It will further aggravate access to the housing market, causing the withdrawal of apartments from the offer for rent to go on sale, just the opposite effect to what is needed,” they have considered in a joint statement.
For these employers, the new definition of a large holder is a “political decision that will increase legal uncertainty” and they have opted for the collaboration of public and private entities to increase the stock of affordable and social housing.
The Minister of Territory of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Ester Capellaannounced last Wednesday the resolution of the allegations to the Catalan memory of the Government Housing Law in which he highlighted the inclusion of two measures: the reduction from 10 to five properties to consider the owners in those areas as large holders that are declared a stressed residential market, but that will not be applied to social promoters to rent their homes.
The minister has detailed that there have been a total of 50 allegations that dealt with four axes: the impossibility of applying the Law in Catalonia; economic compensation to the owners; the consideration of social promoters as large holders, and the change in the definition of large holders.
The next steps to follow are that the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) “should endorse the report” that the Generalitat has presented this Wednesday and has said that the Housing Law could enter into force in Catalonia in August.
In parallel, the catalan parliament will vote on September 1st if he stands before the Constitutional Court (TC) an appeal of unconstitutionality against the Housing Law.
