Spain Unveils Casa 47, a State Housing Company Offering 75-Year Affordable Leases

The entity succeeds Sepes to manage a consolidated public portfolio with a new €100 million purchase program.

Overview

  • The government presented Casa 47 as the new national landlord for central-state residential assets, with formal approval slated for the next Council of Ministers meeting.
  • Leases start at 14 years and can be renewed in seven-year increments following 14-year reviews, with a maximum duration of up to 75 years if eligibility is maintained.
  • Rents are capped so households pay no more than 30% of income or a territory benchmark, with allocation targeting incomes between 2 and 7.5 times IPREM (about €16,800–€63,000), which the ministry estimates covers roughly 60% of households.
  • The initial portfolio aggregates around 40,000 homes and 2,400 plots from Sareb and other ministries, with capacity for about 55,000 additional homes on transferred land.
  • An online portal will publish available properties and application criteria, while an immediate €100 million public purchase program seeks to add units as early critiques question whether supply will meet demand.
