Renovating your home or investment property in Barcelona can be more affordable than you think—thanks to local and national renovation grants. Whether you're updating an old flat or making eco-friendly improvements, 2025 offers several financial incentives for homeowners, landlords, and investors.
WHAT RENOVATION GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE IN BARCELONA?
Barcelona’s city government offers financial support through its "Pla Rehabilitació" programs. These grants focus on improving energy efficiency, accessibility, and structural safety. You might qualify for subsidies covering 20% to 50% of your renovation costs—especially if you're updating windows, insulation, or plumbing systems in older buildings.
Additionally, the Spanish national government and EU-backed funds are supporting green renovation efforts. Programs like NextGenerationEU are allocating billions across Spain for sustainable home upgrades.
WHO QUALIFIES FOR RENOVATION SUBSIDIES?
Both individual owners and communities of property owners (like apartment buildings) can apply. To qualify, the property must typically be over 20 years old, and the renovations should aim to improve energy efficiency or safety. You’ll need to work with a licensed architect and submit a project plan to the Ajuntament de Barcelona or relevant housing office. Renovate Manager can help streamline this process for clients, from paperwork to execution.
HOW TO APPLY FOR RENOVATION GRANTS
Grant applications often require:
A technical report or energy certificate
A formal project budget
Proof of ownership or authorization
Contractor estimates or invoices
Because these programs are competitive and have limited funds, it's best to apply early. Working with a renovation company familiar with the application process—like Renovate Manager—can significantly improve your approval chances.
