The Government confirmed at the end of the last political course that this September will launch the known as ‘Sepes’, also nicknamed the ‘idealist’ of the Executive. It is a portal that will gather the housing offer of the new public company and that will work very similar to private real estate platforms.
It will be thus an integrated management system of the real estate park for affordable rent. In this way there will be a portal to consult the catalog of real estate, a kind of ‘idealist’ or ‘photocasa’, but enhanced. This, because through the same platform the tenant aspiring may also register their requests and, once they access the house, manage their contracts and eventual incidents.

The Sepes, a ‘public idealist’ to lower the rent
“The background idea is to demonstrate that managing affordable housing is profitable and that it is not necessary to exceed prices,” said Isabel Rodríguez last July, who emphasizes that the offer of the new public society will be aimed at a very wide segment.
“Especially the young people who are working, but not only to them. And that despite having better and better income levels, the house is a difficulty because it implies a disproportionate financial effort. The portal will serve to classify and administer all the properties. The Ministry estimates that the portal will begin operating between the end of this year and principles of the next.
This system will include the ‘Portal open to citizenship’, with which aspiring an affordable rental can consult the available homes and the requirements to, once validated, to be able to access them.
The government seeks with this portal to offer an accessible and affordable housing plan
This system will be managed by an integrated management system (GIS), currently in development and whose design, implementation and maintenance contract has been valued at about 2.27 million euros, with an expected validity of approximately four years.
According to the Ministry of Housing, the first floors of this new affordable rental program could be available between 2025 and early 2026 in the most tension urban areas, such as the Basque Country, Catalonia, Madrid and Community Valencian.
In total, the objective of the Executive is to offer around 100,000 homes for affordable rent. Of these, some 40,000 will come from Sareb (the company that manages assets of the bank rescued after the financial crisis) and another 55,000 will be lifted in public ownership floors, in charge of the new company.
One of the keys to the plan is that prices will be limited to ensure that tenants do not allocate more than 30% of their family income to the payment of the rent. In this way, the government seeks to offer a real and accessible alternative to a market in which prices already exceed that threshold in many cities, generating situations of great economic vulnerability.
Ambition is as great as the problem is urgent. The real estate market has become a record time in a quagmire, plugged by many and different factors, but with the same usual victims: young (and not so young) that they cannot afford decent housing before the vertiginous price increase, and that has been going out for months to claim compliance with what is a right that the Constitution enshrines in its article 47.
