At the ayuntamiento Minimum areas: depends on your autonomous community

With 107.0 m² usable it meets the new-dwelling minimum of Cataluña (36 m²), País Vasco (35 m²), Comunitat Valenciana (30 m²), Illes Balears (30 m²), Extremadura (25 m²), ciudad de Madrid (40 m²). Estimated ceiling height of 2.50 m: it meets the 2.50 m of those regulations.

Spain has no single minimum area. For the communities not shown here we have not confirmed the minimum in the regulations: ask your ayuntamiento. Check with an architect before you choose a plan.

How much it costs

Between €133,302 and €180,349, VAT included and a ±15% margin. Balanced finish, one-trip containers, urban plot with water, power and sewage. The land is not included.
