In November 2019, we bought a building in the municipality of Palafrugell, the second building acquired through the evaluation process we carry out, carrying out the agreement approved inGeneral Assembly last February 22.
The property was owned by a bank as a result of a foreclosure process and its sale had already been agreed with an international investment fund, but we were able to make the purchase beforehand due to the right of first refusal.
The acquisition was made thanks to a loan from the Catalan Institute of Finance, which has a bonus from the Housing Agency of Catalonia, and with preferential conditions, subject to certain income requirements of people accessing it lower than the general HPO.
WE RECOVER DISUSED ASSETS AND GUARANTEE THE RIGHT TO HOUSING
The building, which is located very close to Plaça Nova, consists of 6 homes of different types, two of which are reserved for the Generalitat's emergency desk.
In this way, the city council collaborates with Sostre Cívic not only promoting cooperative housing in right of use and recovering disused heritage in the center of Palafrugell, they also incorporate 2 homes for people in a housing emergency, favoring the social mix and diversifying the profile of the inhabitants.
RIGHT OF TRYING
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. In addition, in this case we have made a collaboration agreement with the Palafrugell Town Council for the granting of a subsidy for the project.
