The real estate sector rejects intervention, calls for financing facilities and flexibility to unlock land

The news item entitled ‘The real estate sector rejects intervention, calls for financing facilities and agility to unlock land’ states that the main players in the sector (developers, land companies, real estate associations) have expressed their opposition to the State intervening heavily in the market (e.g. with rigid regulations), and instead are calling for:

Financing facilities — they consider that developer credit and banking conditions are a bottleneck for promoting new projects. 

Administrative agility to unlock land — they want the process of developing and making land ready for construction to be faster, with fewer technical or legal obstacles. 

Regulatory stability and less political intervention — they warn that frequently changing laws or aggressive regulations create uncertainty, which discourages investment. 

They also emphasise that Spain has a structural problem of insufficient housing supply, partly due to the scarcity of land ready for development (land already suitable for building) and the slowness of urban planning procedures.
