🏠 Andalusia’s New Housing Law: Cleaning Up Real Estate in 2026
Starting January 2026, Housing Law 5/2025 modernizes the Andalusian real estate market, setting clear rules for professionals — and cracking down on unqualified operators.
Key points:
✅ Mandatory Registration for all real estate agents (Registro de Agentes Inmobiliarios Especializados del Sector Residencial de Andalucía)
🛡️ Compulsory Professional Liability Insurance
🎓 Required training and financial solvency
🔍 Greater transparency and consumer protection
🏘️ Updated rules for protected housing
Cleaning up the sector: No more “agents” working from home without legal knowledge — the law professionalizes the industry and increases trust for buyers, sellers, and tenants.
Time to comply:
Legally, the obligations exist from January 2026.
Practically, the Andalusian Government has up to two years (until ~January 2028) to develop and implement the full regulatory framework, including the official register, operational rules, forms, and deadlines.
This gives real estate companies and agents a two-year period to meet all detailed requirements.
Published in the Official Gazette of Andalusia (BOJA) on December 24, 2025, this law is now the official legal framework for buying, selling, and renting property.
👉 Keys Property welcomes this legalization—finally, a professional framework to clean up the sector and stop unqualified people from acting as real estate agents.
