The property market in Spain has seen big changes in recent years, with regions like the Balearic Islands introducing restrictions on international buyers to try and protect local housing markets. These measures, while well-intentioned, often create uncertainty for investors and property owners.
Andalusia, however, has taken a different approach. Rather than restricting demand, the region is focusing on solving the root issue: a lack of housing supply. The newly approved Housing Law of September 2025 introduces measures that balance the needs of locals with the interests of responsible international buyers — creating stability and confidence in the market.
Key Measures of the New Housing Law
The Andalusian Government’s reforms include:
- More land released for residential development to increase supply.
- Conversion of office buildings into homes, making better use of existing urban space.
- Regeneration of older neighbourhoods to bring vibrancy and life back into underused areas.
- At least 25% of public land allocated to protected housing, ensuring affordability for locals.
- Reduced red tape and stronger public-private collaboration, speeding up development and cutting unnecessary delays.
This isn’t a restrictive law — it’s a market-balancing one.
Why This Matters for Property Owners & Investors
For property owners and investors on the Costa del Sol, this law offers several advantages:
✔️ Legal certainty and confidence — the government is actively supporting sustainable growth.
✔️ A welcoming environment for foreign buyers — Andalusia is open to responsible international investment.
✔️ Long-term stability — more housing supply balances demand, supporting a healthier property market.

- Holiday rental demand stays strong, as visitors continue flocking to the region.
- Owners can diversify into long-term rentals, supported by a more balanced housing market.
