The PP is finalising its own Housing Law with tax incentives for the middle classes such as the exemption from the tax on donations between relatives for the purchase of a house and proposals for reforms with which to put on the market 200,000 homes a year, double what is currently being built in Spain.

This was announced by the Secretary General of the Popular Party, Cuca Camara, during the breakfasts of the Europa Forum, in which she described as a "failure" the housing policy carried out in the last six years by the Government of Pedro Sánchez, whose Ministry of Housing will bring together the autonomous communities this Thursday in a sectoral conference.

“The diagnosis of Pedro Sánchez's policy is a failure because the number of homes that Spain needs is not being built; today there is no construction, there is no land, there is no dynamic of administrative agility or aid so that young people can access housing; what there is, is protection for squatters, a slowdown in administrative procedures and legal uncertainty that means that owners who can put flats on the market do not do so”, Gamarra stressed during her speech.

The popular party has assured that her party's proposal for a housing law will be presented and registered in the coming weeks, but has not specified dates. Regarding it, she has highlighted that it is being done with the help of the sector and all agents and will include a parallel housing plan “to facilitate access to it”, with which she estimates that 200,000 homes a year will be able to come onto the market. “Not only will it articulate laws, but it will also give concrete measures to provide legal security, reduce bureaucracy, put land on the market, facilitate construction and give facilities for our young people to access it both by renting and by buying”, Gamarra explained

To support the plan, the secretary general of the PP has explained that all these measures will come hand in hand with “a fiscal policy favourable to savings and access to housing”, at a time when the age of emancipation has risen above 30 years in Spain. In this sense, the PP proposes exempting the payment of the first 30,000 euros taxed in IRPF for those under 34 years of age during their first year of their professional career and gradually reducing this measure during the following three years so that the second person pays 75%, the third 50% and the fourth 25% of the income tax on their income». A measure that the PP already presented in the race for the European elections last May.
