Apartments ranging from 53.62 m² to 81.02 m² with starting prices ranging from €118,841.66 to €179,570.14 (VAT included). These are the characteristics of the seven public housing units that the Alcobendas City Council will soon put up for auction.
The properties, which have between 2 and 4 bedrooms, are located between Olivar, Calderón de la Barca, Luis Rodríguez Ontiveros, and Manuel de Falla streets in the Madrid municipality.
With these starting prices, the cost per square meter comes to around 2,216 euros,“a figure well below the public benchmarks for the housing market in Alcobendas, which currently stand at over 4,000 euros per square meter,” according to the city council itself.
The purpose of this public auction is to facilitate home ownership of properties located in the city while also promoting their preservation and rehabilitation.
What are the requirements?
The call for bids establishes common rules for all participants and a series of requirements that successful bidders must meet.”
First, the purchased home must be used as the buyer’s primary and permanent residence and must be effectively occupied within a maximum of six months from the signing of the public deed of sale.
Second, for five years, the property may not be rented out or transferred without municipal authorization. Nor may it be used for economic activities, tourist accommodations, room rentals, or any other purpose other than as a primary residence.
