📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Territory and Housing Vctor Filloy presented this Monday the Governments new program to acquire or lease unused homes to private owners in order to allocate them to the rental market. The objective of this new line of action in the housing policy is to create a public real estate park at affordable prices through the purchase or rental of buildings by the Government. Thus the aim is to respond to the needs of the population and at the same time promote the incorporation and rehabilitation of buildings currently unused on the rental market.In this way as Filloy has explained the call to participate in this program is mainly for owners of entire buildings used for multi-family housing hotel use or even new construction projects. Subsidiarily scattered homes are also included. The buildings must be free of encumbrances and encumbrances as well as empty that is without tenants or occupants. Single-family houses terraced houses or similar are not allowed. Neither are buildings built in red risk areas.Specifically the Government reserves a total of 11 million euros 1 million euros for 2022 and the rest in multi-year until 2024 for the purchase of empty homes with the purpose of allocating them to the market rent at affordable prices. A total of 8 million euros are also reserved 400000 euros for 2022 and the rest in multi-year plans until 2027 for the potential rental of flats to allocate them to the affordable rental market. Therefore the total allocation of the program is 19 million euros.Vctor Filloy has pointed out that owners interested in participating in this program must follow a simple agile and transparent process. Therefore to facilitate the submission of candidacies the procedure has been simplified so that to formalize the candidacy it is only necessary to submit the form included in the programs terms of reference available at www.tramits.ad before the 15 of December 2022. Once the application has been submitted specifying whether the building is to be sold or rented to the Government a technical team from the Ministry of Land and Housing will carry out an inspection that will serve to check the condition of the properties and solve the first phase of the program. In other words accept or decline the buildings.An independent architecture firm will then appraise the accepted buildings so that the owners can know their current value. Thus the next phase of the program begins in which the owners knowing the value of their properties must present a sale or rent offer to the Government. Finally the Government with all the offers and in accordance with the price-quality criterion will select the buildings that it will buy or lease and that therefore will become part of the new public housing stock. In this way the Government once the public deed or lease contract has been formalized will offer affordable housing to citizens.With regard to the actors participating in this project the minister has emphasized that the Government is in charge of acquiring the homes for purchase or rent while the National Housing Institute will manage the buildings. For its part the Housing Fund will cover the investment in those buildings that require rehabilitation.
