Land in Spain - prices and cost factors

The sale of land in Spain is subject to the current market, which sets prices based on a series of factors that affect the property's value and, consequently, the transaction. These are:

• Classification and zoning. The most expensive plots belong to the urban land category. They are usually located in town and city centres and appear on the municipal maps. They have easy access to the infrastructure and communication networks of the localities. In addition, they can be built on, provided the relevant building permit is obtained in advance. Developable properties are usually located on the outskirts of municipalities or in areas that remain undeveloped. They require an urban development process to change their zoning before anything can be built. Therefore, their entry price is usually lower, but in the long run the total cost can be higher because of the works required. Finally, those belonging to the rustic or non-developable category are mostly intended for agricultural or livestock activities. Normally, you cannot build on them, but the laws of each autonomous community set the limits and conditions for building.
• Characteristics of the area and the property. The price depends on the works or installations the land needs. It will be lower if there is no need to level the soil, install irrigation systems, or strengthen and renovate existing infrastructures, among others.
• Region. In Spain, it is possible to buy cheap, affordable land, but it is usually located at some distance from the main cities and most popular tourist spots. In coastal areas, which have a strong tourist appeal, it is practically impossible to acquire a beachfront plot due to official restrictions implemented by the government.

Land categories in Spain

The urban development plan of each municipality and/or autonomous community can be requested from the relevant public administration. This document divides the local land into several categories. These are:

• Urban land: buildable land which, as a rule, has all the basic and necessary communication and supply systems: water, electricity, sewerage, and gas.
• Developable land: it may change category when it is included in a future development plan or project. Building is only possible once the development plan has been approved and the urbanisation works completed, when the land becomes urban. Otherwise, construction is not allowed.
• Rustic or non-developable land: the construction of residential buildings is prohibited. It cannot become developable unless a new plan reclassifies it. The regions establish construction limitations. All or most of them allow building as long as it serves an agricultural activity. If the land is definitively classified as historically or archaeologically valuable, it cannot be converted into developable, as it will be considered protected rustic land.
