The leader of VOX in the Congress of Deputies, Santiago Abascal, has starred in the news in recent days. On the one hand, the failed motion of censure presented against the Government of Pedro Sánchez, but also for the purchase of his new house.
Last week several media outlets published that Abascal and his wife this summer acquired a villa valued at more than one million euros (although its final price is unknown) in the Hortaleza district of Madrid. Abascal already knows this area because he has been renting for a few years with his family.
The new home has 185 m2 built divided into two floors, plus the garage. On the ground floor is the social part of the house, with a living-dining room, living room, kitchen, a bedroom and a toilet, while the private part of the home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms is concentrated on the upper floor. . The remaining 100 m2 are garden and patio, without swimming pool, as recorded in the Property Registry.
The house was acquired in community at 80% by Abascal and his partner, who owns 20% privately through a 30-year mortgage amounting to 736,000 euros.
The photos of the ad published since the end of 2019 in idealista by the seller suggest that it is a spacious house with classic decoration, and a large patio with several terraces on different levels. One of the best things about the house, and it is sure that it has influenced the decision of the Abascal family, is the vertical garden of vines that allows you to maintain the privacy of its interior from outside gazes from the street.
The controversy that arose with the ownership of Abascal increased when it was confirmed that the leader of VOX has not updated his declaration of Assets and Income that every deputy must present to the Congress of Deputies. A fact that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, made Santiago Abascal ugly during his speech to vote ‘No’ to the motion of censure presented against him.
Santiago Abascal thus joins the leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, like the top leaders of the main political parties in Congress who have decided to go live in a chalet. Specifically, Iglesias and his partner, Irene Montero, acquired their current home in Galapagar, a municipality on the outskirts of Madrid, in 2018 for about 615,000 euros.
For his part, Pedro Sánchez, who currently resides in La Moncloa, owns a flat in Pozuelo de Alarcón, while Pablo Casado (PP) and Inés Arrimadas (Citizens) live in the center of Madrid.
The current price of used housing for sale in the Hortaleza district of Madrid is 3,601 euros / m2, 3% below the average price that marked in July, at the time of closing the operation of the chalet. The Hortaleza district is the ninth most expensive in the entire city of Madrid, and is divided into eight neighborhoods, ranging from the most expensive of Sanchinarro (4,293 euros / m2) or Conde de Orgaz-Piovera (4,111 euros / m2) to the cheapest by unit price (euros / m2) of Pinar del Rey (2,810 euros / m2) and Apóstol Santiago (2,734 euros / m2), as they have more single-family homes and villas with more spaces and gardens.
By type of housing, the unit price of the chalets in Hortaleza It is currently at 3,512 euros / m2 on average, but ranging from 4,249 euros / m2 in Pinar del Rey or 3,947 euros / m2 in Virgen del Cortijo-Manoteras, to the more affordable 2,837 euros / m2 in Palomas or 2,432 euros / m2 of Valdebebas-Valdefuentes.
