The Access to housing is increasingly complicated for young Spaniards. Although many continue to opt for rentals, which the autonomous communities will now subsidize thanks to the Youth Rental Bonus in the face of rising rental prices, the rising mortgage prices on the occasion of the escalation of the Euribor and the types has made it difficult to opt for the purchase of real estate.
From Helpmycash, they consider that the forecast is that the demand for housing decreases in the coming months and it is expected that the real estate market – which until now showed a boom in sales not seen since 2007 – will begin to cool down.
To try to alleviate this situation, the autonomous staff of the Community of Madrid has launched a program called ‘My First Home’ to help the emancipation of young people from Madrid. In fact, the number of young people under 30 who manage to leave the nest decreases every year in Spain, currently, according to data collected by the Spanish Youth Council, only 14.9% of them have managed to leave their family nucleus, while in 2008 26% had done so.
Requirements to meet
Through this housing plan, the people of Madrid will be able to finance almost 100% of the value of the property they want to buy, although it will be essential to meet a series of requirements. It will be the banks, once they have adhered to the agreement with the Autonomous Administration, who will grant the mortgage loans for the acquisition of the apartments for an amount greater than 80% and up to 95% of the value of the property, provided that this does not exceed 390,000 euros, taking as reference its appraisal value or the purchase price. Those interested in being beneficiaries of the ‘My First Home’ program must prove the following conditions:
- Being under 35 years of age, so those over that age will be excluded from coverage.
- accredit a legal residence in the Community of Madridcontinuously and uninterruptedly, during the two years immediately prior to the loan application date and must not own another house in the national territory.
