Maximum price of protected housing by region (2026)

Piso Propio · · Prices in euros per square metre of the home's usable floor area, before VAT (IVA)

The module (módulo) is the price per square metre of usable floor area that each autonomous community sets as the ceiling for protected housing (vivienda protegida, VPO). Here are the current figures we have verified in their rules, with the regime, the zone where there is one and the date they apply from. If your region is not listed, its official page is below.

The formula: usable m² × module

A VPO's maximum price is its usable floor area times the module of its region, regime and zone. This is what it comes to for 80 m² of usable floor area under the general regime, with the same tables the calculator uses:

Work out the maximum price of a specific home

Enter the region, the municipality, the regime in the home's qualification and the usable floor area. The result is the legal maximum sale price, not a market price or a valuation.

€203,923

  • Home: €203,923 (€2,913.18/m² usable × 70 m²)
  • And to rent: up to €765.10 a month
  • Garages and storage rooms at their published price per square metre (Annex 1 of the Instrucció), not a share of the home's.
  • One module for the whole of Catalonia since Decret llei 2/2025: the municipality does not change the price.

  • Since Decret llei 2/2025 there is a single price module (módulo) per regime for the whole of Catalonia: price zones no longer exist for new qualifications.
  • Garages and storage rooms have a fixed price per square metre, not a percentage of the home's price.
  • Homes qualified under earlier rules keep their modules: the price that applies is the one in their qualification, updated as the Instrucció itself sets out (Annex 2).

  • Rent: Galicia publishes the maximum rent per square metre of usable area and year: €61.68 / 54.51 / 45.24 in the special regime, 65.14 / 59.95 / 52.04 in the general one and 72.92 / 62.54 / 55.50 in the agreed one (PMS / zone 1 / zone 2). The calculator divides it by 12.

Frequently asked questions

What is the module (módulo) or maximum price of protected housing (VPO)?

It is the price per square metre of usable floor area that the authorities set as the ceiling for selling (or renting) a protected home. Each autonomous community approves it; it usually varies by regime and sometimes by zone, and it is updated by order or resolution. The price of a given VPO is the module in its qualification multiplied by its countable usable floor area, plus garage and storage.

How much does a square metre of VPO cost in 2026?

It depends on the community and the regime. In 2026, for example, the general regime is €2,913.18/m² usable in Catalonia, €2,591.64 in Madrid zone A (VPPB), €2,568 in the Comunitat Valenciana from 15 August, €2,143.17 in Navarra (first sale; €2,057.45 on resale), €2,346.74 in Andalusia group 1, €2,120 in Galicia's seven PMS cities and, in the Balearic Islands, €2,105.32 in group A without an energy rating (up to €2,918.67 with rating A). The tables on this page give each figure with the rule that sets it.

Does the maximum price also limit resale?

Yes, while the home is still qualified as protected. Each community sets how the resale (segunda transmisión) price is updated: in some, the module in force on the date of sale applies (Madrid, Euskadi, Comunitat Valenciana); in others, the original price is indexed to the consumer price index, IPC (Catalonia). The resale calculator applies each community's rule.

How much can I rent out the VPO I already own for?

For the maximum rent in its qualification, not what the market would pay. It comes from your community's module applied to the usable floor area: the calculator on this page gives the maximum monthly rent where the community publishes a rent module. Renting out a protected home also almost always needs prior permission from the authorities, and doing it without permission is an offence: in June 2026 the tourist letting of a VPO in the Pamplona area was fined €16,499.50.

Is there a minimum income to access a VPO?

In some communities, yes, although almost everyone asks about the ceiling. Navarra introduced them in September 2026: €5,000 to rent, €19,000 to buy a VPO and €24,000 for a VPT, with a cap of €100,000 coming from property transfers. The reason is to show you can pay the rent or the mortgage instalment. Always check both the floor and the ceiling in the specific call (convocatoria).

What about the communities not in the tables?

We do not publish figures we have not read in their official source. For those communities we link the official protected-housing page, where the current modules are, and we will add them here once we verify them.
