Spanish housing market regulation debate

Overview

Debate has intensified in Spain regarding housing market regulations and the role of investment entities. Unai Sordo, Secretary General of Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), called for legal and fiscal measures to remove “vulture funds” from the residential market, advocating for rent price caps, affordable housing construction, and the reinstatement of anti-eviction decrees.

In response to legislative developments, the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) criticized Royal Decree-Law 26/2026, known as the ‘Maricarmen Decree’. The CEOE argued the decree creates legal uncertainty, restricts property rights, and fails to address structural issues like construction streamlining. The legislation includes provisions to limit housing purchases by legal entities through the end of 2028.
