Source on this? Been living in Spain for 8 years now, and my wifes family have a number of empty of apartments here. AFAIK, they do not pay tax on any of them for being empty.

IMO that is one of things they can do to address the housing issue we have but I have seen no mention of this policy anywhere.

Why? Is it just seen as a good investment?

My wife grandfather bought them as an investment and after he died, the grandmother inherited them. She couldn’t care less about them as investments, but I guess my in laws are waiting to inherit them and then sell them off.
