Faster Property Protection Now Available for Owners in Spain
New Legal Update Effective Immediately
Starting on April 3, 2025, owners of property in Spain are now offered stronger and much quicker legal defences against illegal occupation and property claims. This reform has long been anticipated and is meant to make the process of eviction less complex concerning bureaucracy, thus allowing landlords to reclaim their properties with greater ease.
What Has Changed?
The newly legislated law provides several key improvements:
Quicker enforcement of eviction for illegally occupied properties which eliminates lengthy court procedures.
Enhanced legal defence for property owners which guarantees enforcement of eviction orders in a timely manner.
More specific laws concerning property disputes that eliminate vagueness regarding court decisions.
Why This Matters for Property Owners
Spain has faced growing concerns over “okupas” (illegal squatters), with many homeowners struggling to remove unauthorised occupants due to slow legal procedures. Under the new law, authorities can act more swiftly, giving property owners greater security and peace of mind.
Legal Citations and Important Aspects
This is a part of the systemic changes undertaken in Spain with respect to the Civil Procedural Law Act that deals with the eviction and recovery of property cases. The measures are in line with the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of Spain regarding Owners of property.
