Andorra aloca 30 milhões de euros de excedente para comprar 200 apartamentos acessíveis

O Governo andorrano vai usar 30 milhões de euros do excedente orçamental de 60 milhões de euros para 2025 na compra de três edifícios com cerca de 200 apartamentos, expandindo o stock de habitação pública com foco na propriedade acessível. A Ministra da Habitação, Conxita Marsol, disse que um edifício oferecerá frações à venda abaixo do preço de mercado, enquanto outro poderá tornar-se num projeto de coabitacão para idosos.

The targeted properties—due on the market next year—must need only minor work like electrical upgrades, window replacements for energy efficiency, and small fixes to become habitable in two or three months. A tender for owners is in preparation, avoiding major overhauls such as converting hotels.

These should finalise within three months, alongside a rent liberalisation law taking effect in June. It will allow 6% hikes plus up to 2.5% IPC on about 7,000 frozen contracts. Marsol expects modest effects, as many landlords with long-term tenants may limit increases. «Alguns têm inquilinos há muitos anos que pagam a tempo, pelo que lhes convém», disse ela.
