Land in Spain - Prices and Cost Characteristics

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 qualification. The plots with the most expensive prices belong to the urban land category. They are usually located in the city centers, so they are recorded on their topographical map. They have easy access to the infrastructure and communication networks of the localities. Additionally, they have the possibility to build, as long as the relevant construction license is requested in advance. Developable properties are usually located on the outskirts of municipalities or in areas that remain undeveloped. They require urban planning intervention to change their qualification and thus have the possibility to carry out any construction. Therefore, their entry price is usually lower, but in the long run, it can be higher due to necessary reforms. 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 transaction amount is subject to the reforms or installations that need to be done on the land. Therefore, it will be reduced if it is not necessary to level the soil, install irrigation systems, or strengthen and renovate existing infrastructures, among others.
• Region. In Spain, it is possible to buy cheap and affordable land. But these are 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 plot in the front line of the beach due to official restrictions implemented by the government.

Land Categories in Spain

The urban planning of each city and/or autonomy can be requested from the relevant Public Administration. This document establishes the division of the lands of the place into several categories. These are:

• Urban land: buildable area, usually, it has all the basic and necessary communication and supply systems: water, electricity, sewerage, and gas.
• Developable land: it is possible that it may change category in cases where it is included in a future development plan or project. The development of any construction is only possible after including this type of land in the cadastral system as urban. Otherwise, construction is not allowed.
• Rustic or non-developable land: the construction of residential buildings is prohibited. It cannot be transformed into developable until the new planning considers it as such. The regions establish construction limitations. All or most of them grant the right to build as long as it is intended for 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.
