Plots in Community of Madrid - buy, sell or rent easily

Where to buy land in Madrid

The price of urban land in Madrid is one of the highest in the country, due to its high population density. The main cities and those with more than 50,000 inhabitants have the most real estate activity.

The areas with the cheapest land for sale are Chinchón, Valdepiélagos, Venturada, Cadalso de los Vidrios, Campo Real and Navalcarnero. Developable land is in a similar situation to urban land: it is concentrated on the outskirts of the region's main cities and is therefore in great demand. The most expensive urban plots for sale in the province are in the city of Madrid, Alcalá de Henares, Alcobendas, Cobeña and Leganés. Rustic estates for sale, on the other hand, are cheaper, as demand for them is lower.

The Madrid dream of city dwellers

In Madrid, more than 10% of the land is urban. Much of it is for residential, industrial and commercial use (retail and leisure parks). To boost the economy, the authorities have made more than 1,000,000 square metres of urban land with high buildability available to interested companies. More than 26% of Madrid's land is developable (sectorised and non-sectorised), and there is a large amount of serviced but unbuilt land ready for construction. Rustic land has shrunk over the years as it has been reclassified for building, but it still covers more than 60% of the region.

A farming sector with quality products

Although the autonomous community's economy is focused on services, more than 200,000 hectares are farmed.

Its continental climate, with more than 2,800 hours of sunshine a year, favours a variety of crops, such as cereals (barley), alfalfa, pulses, vegetables, garlic, melons, strawberries, asparagus, olives and vines, which yield high-quality products with designation of origin status.

There are different types of livestock farms (cattle, sheep, goats and pigs), complemented by activities such as rural tourism, crafts and hunting, among others. To encourage generational renewal and promote organic farming, the Community offers funding for investments that modernise farms and make the sector more competitive.

Industrial land is available to companies

The Community of Madrid has a wide range of industrial plots available in science and technology parks, industrial estates and business incubators. Industry is diverse and includes companies in technology, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, logistics, electronics, chemicals and food, as well as paper, printing, transport equipment and automotive.

A favourable tax regime

Madrid is one of the autonomous communities under the common tax regime with the lowest tax burden. Its tax advantages include the regional allowance on wealth tax.

In short, it is a single-province region that offers commercial freedom and low taxes. It has good communications, transport infrastructure and public services. It is also an interesting area to invest in urban and industrial land, as there is a wide supply available.
