Requirements to sell a sheltered home To sell a sheltered home before 10 to 30 years have passed since the acquisition (this is usually the average period after which it can become a vacant house in the different regions), it will be necessary to request authorization from the autonomous community. In addition, the following requirements must be met, which may change from one CCAA to another.

• Return the aid received: It is necessary to return the aid received in case of behavior with the sale before the stipulated time.
• Limited sale price: As long as the house retains its protected status, it cannot be sold at a free price. Some communities, such as Madrid and Andalusia, allow sales at a legal maximum price.
• Consult the plan of the autonomous community: You will need to verify the period during which the home maintains its protected status.
• Right of trial and withdrawal: The administration has the preferential option of purchase before other interested parties.
