The number of registration actions in the field of state registration of rights to real estate in the first quarter of 2024 by 38%, and in the field of business – by 23%, said the head of the Office of counteraction to raiding of the Ministry of Justice Viktor Dubovik.
“Starting from 2020, I am of the opinion that the number of registration actions is one of the important indicators of economic activity in the state.

Dubovik specified that for the first three months of 2024 was made 2 million 605.73 thousand registration actions on the real estate and 263.48 thousand – on business, while for the same period in 2023 – respectively 1 million 887.60 thousand and 214.26 thousand.
At the same time, according to his data, the number of complaints received by the Office in the field of real estate increased even more significantly – up to 699 from 290 in the first quarter of last year, while in the business sector the situation, on the contrary, improved: the number of complaints decreased to 115 from 119.

The Spanish government intends to cancel the program that provides foreigners with “golden visas” in exchange for real estate investments, the Financial Times reports, citing a statement by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Currently, citizens of non-EU countries can obtain a Spanish residence permit for a period of three years by investing at least EUR 500 thousand in real estate in the country.
The abolition of the program will improve the situation with the availability of housing in Spain, Sanchez said.
“Currently, 94 out of 100 of these visas are issued for real estate investments in large cities that are already facing a very difficult market. Those who already live there, work and pay taxes, can hardly find decent housing,” the prime minister said.
