Sí: comprar el edificio entero elimina de raíz el veto de la comunidad de vecinos, porque no hay junta que vote sobre el uso turístico. Desde abril de 2025 (Ley Orgánica 1/2025), abrir una VUT en un piso suelto exige el sí de tres quintos de propietarios y de cuotas, un veto que no existe con un único propietario del bloque. El edificio sigue sujeto al riesgo regulatorio público —urbanismo y licencia autonómica—, solo esquiva el riesgo vecinal.
The risk that nearly nobody puts in front of an investor
When an investor analyzes a tourist asset, they usually look at jield, price per metro, employment and area. There's a risk that rarely appears at deck and that, from 2025, can leave the asset to zero: the vote of the community of neighbours. Un piso turístico que no puede activar su licencia porque la junta lo veta no es una inversión rentable a un cap rate peor; es, sencillamente, otra inversión —la de un alquiler residencial al 3-5% bruto.
That risk has an exact date and rule. The Ley Orgánica 1/2025, de 2 de eneroand amended Section 17.12 of the Horizontal Property Act and, from 3 April 2025, exige acuerdo expreso de la comunidad por doble mayoría de tres quintos (de propietarios y de cuotas de participación) para iniciar una nueva actividad de vivienda de uso turístico en un edificio en propiedad horizontal (Ley Orgánica 1/2025, art. 17.12 LPH, en vigor 3-abril-2025). Without that vote, there's no new VUT. And get three out of every five neighbours - and three out of every five quotas - to approve have a tourist apartment next door isn't trivial.
The complete building of a single owner doesn't play that game. And that difference, well understood, is one of the cleanest levers of capital that currently exist at Spanish tourist rental.
What does 2025's LpH Reform say in Christian
Reforms put back earlier logic. Before that, with the exception of an explicit prohibition under its statutes, VUT was presumed to have been permitted. Now we are investing: in practice, a new tourist activity needs to be prior and explicit authorisation from the communityadopted by the dual quorum rule of 3 / 5 - three-fifths of total owners representing at once three-fifths of quotas - (Ley Orgánica 1/2025, art. 17.12 LPH).
Three nuances that an investor should have clear:
Translated at risk: To buy a loose floor to exploit in tourist is to buy an option that a third party - the board - may not let you run and that can also tax later. The market price of that floor rarely misses that uncertainty.
Why the whole building removes the root veto
The 3 / 5 veto is by definition a mechanism of Horizontal property: exists because there are several owners voting together about the use of the property. When a single natural or legal person owns the complete building, there are no community arrangements that deliberate or board that can prohibit tourist use. Control about the destination of the asset is complete and unilateral.
That isn't a legal shortcut or a grey area: it's the natural consequence that there isn't a community of owners to regulate. The whole building does not avoid law - it complies with public regulations as with any assets - simply isn't at risk of local governance today defining individual VUT.
For the investor, that changes the asset profile on three fronts: operating certainty (you can activate and maintain tourist use without asking permission from anyone private), cost stability (nobody recharges you share of common expenses) and exit liquidity (an institutional buyer values an asset without community contingency). It's the difference between possessing a unit within a system that can vote against and possessing the whole system.
What the Building DOES NOT remove you: public regulatory risk
We have to be honest here, because the opacity of the sector lives precisely if it isn't. Remove the neighbouring veto No free you from public regulatory framework. The whole building remains subject to:
- Urbanism: The use of ground has to admit activity (residential, tertiary hotel, etc.) and there may be local moratoriums.
- Autonomous leave and tourist registration: Each CAA has its figure and its procedure (VUT, VV, HUT, AT). The autophone code's his command.
- YES. Hostiages (RD 933 / 2021): Mandatory registration of passengers.
- Restraints by town: Barcelona anticipates the end of VT licences at 2028 and Madrid with a limited way through Plan RESIDE. Valencia, Seville, Málaga, Alicante and Bilbao have more open frameworks, each with its norm.
A note that changes the conversation with a lot of outdated content: NRUA, RD 1312 / 2024) was cancelled by the STS 620 / 2026 (May of 2026). There's no obligation to have a single state registration. What's in place is an autonomous code. The status of the rule should always be checked at the BOE before its operation, as it's matter that moves.
Abstract: The whole building removes the risk Private (community) and puts up with the risk public (urban and tourism), that's mobile area to area. The difference with a loose floor is that the loose floor loads with both risks at once.
Why demand holds the thesis
The veto argument only matters if there's business behind and there's. The outpatient nights marked historic record at 2025: 146,3 million, a + 3%and within that universe tourist apartments are already the 52,1% of the total (INE, EOAT 2025). It's not a marginal niche: it's the dominant category of outpatient housing with structural demand and an important Non-resident foreign investorThat goes through demand and regulatory arbitration.
That's important to the building investor: the legal offer of individual VUT cuts (3 / 5 vetoes) while demand grows. The asset capable of operating without a veto risk - the whole building - gain relative shortages and with it, price-setting power at the resale.
Loan floor vs. whole building: risk, on a table
The decision isn't "more expensive or cheaper," but two kinds of asset with different risk profiles.
| Factor | Loan tourist place (community) | A complete building (one owner) |
|---|---|---|
| Permiso de la comunidad (3/5) | Required for new VUT and can be refused | Do not apply: no board to vote |
| Common costs (up to 20%) | The board can impose | No community to enforce |
| Control of the use of the property | Shared and voted together | Innegro and Unilateral |
| Public regulatory risk (urban / tourism) | Yes, as well as his neighbor's risk | Yeah, but that's the only risk (area-by-area) |
| Output Buyer | Special and contingency discount | FUND / SOCIAL: NOI and chap. |
| Access to institutional debt | Standard residential butter | Large Ticket: senior financing 55-65% LTV |
The building isn't "better" in abstract: it's another kind of asset with a neutralised private risk and public risk attached to area due diligence.
No veto but with what number? The cascade pre- sign
To remove the risk from the community is necessary, not sufficient. The asset has to rent in hand, and that looks at EUR cascade from gross to NOIThat's right. An illustrative example of a type unit inside a building exploded in tourism (examples to show the method, not a promise):
| Concept | Annual amount (example, €) | % on gross |
|---|---|---|
| Gross reserve income | 30.000 | 100% |
| − Channel Commission (mix OTA + direct) | −4.200 | −14% |
| − Cleaning and laundry | −3.600 | −12% |
| − IBI, community and supplies | −3.000 | −10% |
| − Professional management | −4.500 | −15% |
| − CAPEX, replacement and provision of gaps | −2.700 | −9% |
| NOI with an estimate by hand | 12.000 | 40% |
Ejemplo metodológico. Los gastos operativos pueden absorber en torno al 60-70% del bruto en alquiler turístico bien gestionado (estimación sectorial). El canal directo propio Tudesvío opera al 10% de comisión frente al 15-18% de las OTAs (datos internos Bliss), lo que reduce la primera línea de fuga y mejora el NOI.
The whole building's grace is that this cascade is made once for all assetswith economies of scale in cleaning, management and channel that a loose floor doesn't capture. And especially without the risk line that a loose floor does carry: that of being unable to activate the tourist use.
How Bliss approaches a fixed canon operator
The market for operation of buildings is dominated by two ends: the fixed canon operator, who gives you a closed rental and remains all the upside (canon = ceiling), and the opaque management, who sells round returns without showing the cascade. Bliss lies amidst a concrete proposal:
- A clear signature: from gross to NOI, each market figure with source and each portfolio figure identified as its own data. Without "+ 40%" without method.
- Combined model ground + distribution: a guaranteed minimum that gives stability and a distribution that capture the upsideInstead of a regular canon that gives it up.
- Canal directo propio (Tudesvío): 10% commission versus 15-18% from OTAs (internal Bliss data), to reduce the dependence of Booking and Airbnb.
- Test in actual portfolio: 87% with an average occupancy and improved market share (internal data Bliss).

FAQ
Do I need permission from the neighbor community for our rental?
Si la vivienda está en un edificio en régimen de propiedad horizontal, sí. Tras la reforma del artículo 17.12 LPH (Ley Orgánica 1/2025, en vigor desde el 3 de abril de 2025), iniciar una nueva actividad de vivienda de uso turístico exige acuerdo expreso favorable de tres quintos de los propietarios que representen tres quintos de las cuotas. Sin ese voto, la comunidad puede vetarla. En un edificio de un solo propietario no hay comunidad que vote: no necesitas permiso de nadie.
What exactly does 2025's LpH reform say?
La Ley Orgánica 1/2025, de 2 de enero, modificó el artículo 17.12 de la Ley de Propiedad Horizontal. Desde el 3 de abril de 2025, para ejercer una nueva VUT se requiere acuerdo expreso de la comunidad por doble mayoría de 3/5 (de propietarios y de cuotas). Las actividades que ya se ejercían antes de esa fecha quedan protegidas por la disposición transitoria. La comunidad también puede recargar la cuota de gastos comunes del piso turístico hasta un 20% con esa misma mayoría.
¿Por qué el edificio entero esquiva el veto 3/5?
The 3 / 5 veto is a horizontal property mechanism: it exists because there are several owners voting together. When a single person or society owns the whole building, there's no community regime that decides about tourist use or board that can outlaw them. The monitoring of the destination of the asset is complete and unilateral and subject only to urban and tourist regulations and local and autonomous.
Do an individual VUT currently authorized before April 2025 remains valid?
Yeah. The transitional provision of the Organic Act 1 / 2025 protects tourist rental activities that have been legally exercised before 3's April 2025. The problem is for new ones: they require the vote 3 / 5. That's why the investor who goes into a loose floor today buys a risk of being unable to activate the tourist use that the whole building doesn't have.
Is the whole building free from any tourist regulations?
No. To avoid a local veto does not exempt them from public frameworks. You are still subject to urban planning (using compatible ground), license and regional tourist registration (VUT / VV / HUT / AT according to CAA), ES. Hostidages (RD 933 / 2021) and potential local moratoriums. The building removes the community's risk, rather than public regulatory risk, that is run with due diligence by area.
Is the single state rental register (NRUA) still valid?
Not as a state obligation. The single state registry (RD 1312 / 2024) was cancelled by the STS 620 / 2026 (May 2026). What remains fully valid is the autonomous code and registration of each community (VUT, VV, HUT, AT), which determines if you can exploit the asset. The status of the rule should be checked at BOE before any operation.
What changes with an output valuation by not relying on the community?
A whole building with built-up tourist use and with no risk of neighbouring veto is an institutional asset: it's bought by a fund, a sociMI or another operator using NOI and chap rate. A free tourist floor in a community that at any board can recharge or restrict activity is an asset with more risk discount. The absence of a veto translates into less uncertainty and normally better output multiple.
How does Bliss help an entire building with a fixed canon operator?
Bliss operates the building with a cascade of pre-clear euro (from raw to NOI, each figure with source) and a mixed model of soil more division that captures the upside, opposite the fixed canon that lays roof. Tudesvío's own direct channel with 10% commission versus 15-18%'s monthly OTAs and reporting. In his portfolio holds 87%'s occupation and gain improvement on market average.
