Three subsidies in 2026 that could reduce the cost of your Spanish home renovation
Spain is offering grants of up to 80% and more than €9,000 eurps in tax savings on home improvements
The new year is the perfect time to breathe fresh life into your home, but with the cost of everything sky-high right now, any way to save money is worth exploring. The good news for homeowners in Spain is that 2026 has arrived with a generous package of subsidies and tax breaks designed to make renovations far more affordable.
On January 1, the State Housing Plan 2026-2030 came into effect, earmarking €7 billion to increase the supply of social housing and promote property upgrades across the country. In addition, 2026 will also see the extension of tax incentives linked to European funds for works that improve the energy efficiency of homes and cut future utility bills. Improvements in terms of accessibility and other factors are also included in the various schemes available.
With housing demand still expected to far outstrip supply in Spain throughout 2026, any upgrades you make now could also boost your property's value significantly if you're considering selling in the future.
Three grants to help you renovate your home
The primary aim of these grants is to reduce non-renewable primary energy consumption by at least 30% or to improve the building's energy rating to achieve class A or B. To qualify for this support, you must provide an energy efficiency certificate before and after the renovation, as this is the only way to prove the savings achieved.
The grants, which are managed by the different autonomous communities, vary depending on the level of energy savings you achieve. An improvement of between 30% and 45% allows access to grants of up to €6,300, equivalent to 40% of the renovation cost.
If the savings reach between 46% and 60%, the grant can climb to €11,600, covering up to 65% of the investment.
In cases where the renovation achieves energy savings of more than 61%, the grant amounts to €18,800, representing 80% of the total cost of the work.
If there is economic vulnerability in the home, the grants can reach €21,400.
Extension of tax deductions
Income tax deductions for energy efficiency improvements were initially set to expire in 2025 but an extension has been granted. For minor home renovations, a 7% reduction in energy demand is sufficient to qualify for a 20% deduction, up to a maximum of €1,000, provided the investment does not exceed €5,000.
For more ambitious projects aimed at improving energy consumption and achieving a 30% reduction or reaching an energy rating of A or B, the deduction increases to 40%, with a cap of €3,000 and an investment limit of €7,500.
If the works manage to reduce energy consumption by at least 30% or improve the rating to A or B, 60% of the investment can be deducted, with a maximum of €9,000 out of a cumulative limit of €15,000.
If the entire deduction cannot be applied in a given tax year, the remaining portion can be carried over to the following four tax years, ensuring you don't lose out on any savings.
European NextGeneration grants
At a local level, each autonomous community manage has access to funds that can finance between 40% and 80% of projects in houses or other residential buildings. A minimum savings of 30% is required, but the greater the savings achieved, the greater the grant on offer. These grants are not subject to tax and do not count as capital gains for income tax purposes, making them even more attractive.
Regional support schemes
The autonomous communities also have their own aid programmes running alongside the national schemes. Regional plans include priorities such as solar panels, affordable housing and infrastructure improvements, accessibility upgrades and elevators, thermal insulation, air conditioning and aerothermal systems, rehabilitation in rural areas, and asbestos removal from older buildings.
It’s a good idea to check the closing dates, estimated deadlines and priority levels according to your specific autonomous community, as these can vary significantly across different regions of Spain.
