Canarias pide al Gobierno que solo puedan comprar vivienda quienes lleven 10 años residiendo en las islas

The Canary Islands government is pressing the central government to allow only those who have lived in the islands for a decade to purchase property. The regional administration seeks to curb property speculation and provide municipalities with effective tools to regulate buying and renting. The aim is to have these measures approved in a Council of Ministers before the November 29 elections and by the Canary Permanent Council.

The government believes it is trying to prevent housing from becoming merely speculative or a commodity and stresses the importance of homes. The proposed regulations need approval from both the central government and Brussels because they pertain to Canarias' EU status as a peripheral region.
