The challenge
Within the existing property system in Spain, long-term speculation over house prices can lead to unreasonable price increases that make home ownership a distant dream for many people.
Business approach
Raúl is working to introduce a new housing cooperative model in Spain and other countries that combines characteristics from both ownership and rental regimes. The idea is to stop price speculation and promote social inclusion, as well as better environmental design and management of properties.
Goals and objectives
Raúl is aiming to make this the normal property model in Spanish society and other countries.
