Cooperative housing arrives in Sant Joan de Vilatorrada thanks to Sostre Cívic

Do you want to live in cooperative housing in Bages? On April 15 (and until May 5) we will open registrations to participate in this project: Building of 5 homes, in Sant Joan de Vilatorrada, next to Manresa and therefore under its radius of influence. It consists of a ground floor and 2 floors built in 2015, which has never been inhabited. Located 350m (4 minutes' walk) from the bus station and 10 minutes' walk from the Town Hall and Plaça Nova. The building has an elevator for access to the homes. It is designed with homes of different sizes and rooms, as you can see in this document. All homes are officially protected homes and you will need to meet the requirements to access them. The property was owned by a bank and was rescued from the speculative market with the purchase via the right of first refusal.

Informative talk and visits to the property

For more details on this project, on Tuesday, April 6 at 18 p.m. we will hold an informative talk with relevant information about the project, the characteristics of the building and the homes, the access conditions and requirements and all relevant data to access them. You can also consult here.

The following day, Wednesday 7 April from 10am, a visit to the property will be held for all those interested in the project. Like the talk, you will need to register through the website to arrange the visit.

Right of trial

The building has been acquired through the right of first refusal in force since the approval of the Law Decree 1/2015 of extraordinary and urgent measures for the mobilization of homes resulting from mortgage foreclosure processes. With the approval of this decree, preference is given to the Generalitat, town councils and social promoters like Sostre Cívic for the purchase of these homes.

The Housing Agency of Catalonia promoted one agreement with the Catalan Institute of Finance (ICF) to finance acquisition operations via netting from the ICF.
