In an opinion article for Jornal Económico, Madalena Azeredo Perdigão, Partner in the Real Estate practice at CCA Law Firm, analyses the new package of measures to tackle the housing access crisis, included in the Government Programme presented at the end of June.
The lawyer emphasises that, despite the governmental effort to promote greater housing supply and improve the transport network, it is essential to ensure that the proposals are effectively implemented: “Nothing will work unless we move from paper to practice. It is not enough to announce that part of the PRR will be allocated to housing and transport support. Its use must be effective and real, through actual works carried out.”
Among the priorities identified, Madalena Azeredo Perdigão argues for the urgent publication of the legislation that will establish an exceptional and temporary regime for private and cooperative housing projects, including tax benefits and reduced fees; incentives for built-to-rent schemes; and the promotion of modular and industrialised construction, capable of reducing timeframes and costs.
The expert further stresses the need to expand the railway network and invest in mobility, creating new residential areas and service hubs that help to ease price pressure in major cities.
