The time that owners must wait in Spain to obtain a ruling that allows squatters to be evicted from their homes continues to increase. Currently , the average period has been extended to reach 20.5 months , between the procedures of the Courts of First Instance and those of the Provincial Courts. According to the latest data from the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the average period of verbal possession procedures for illegal occupation of homes in the Courts of First Instance and Civil Instruction stood at 10.9 months in 2022, compared to at 9.6 months a year earlier. In just four years, the period has more than doubled (in 2018, the average for the country as a whole was 4.9 months). But to these times we must add the length of time it takes to appeal sentences in the Provincial Courts in civil proceedings, which in 2022 recorded an average of 9.6 months , also above the 8.5 months of the previous two years and of the less than 7 months counted in 2017 and 2018.
In both cases, this is the highest figure in the CGPJ historical series and increases the total average term by more than two months compared to 2021, after going from 18.1 months to the current 20.5. However, the data differs depending on the autonomous communities. Different deadlines in the Phone Lead CCAA Legislation and judicial malfunctions A problem for owners and neighbors Measures to end squatting Different deadlines in the CCAA In regions such as the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Castilla y León and the Valencian Community, the procedure in the first instance exceeds 11 months and even a year, something that happens in Andalusia and Murcia. On the other side of the table are La Rioja, Navarra and the Basque Country, with an average of less than seven months. If we add the regional averages of the Courts to these periods, four of these regions repeat at the top of the national classification, with periods above the average.
These are Andalusia (22.5 months), the Balearic Islands (23.2 months), the Canary Islands (23.5 months) and Castilla y León (31.5 months). In this last case, it is worth highlighting the almost 20 months that appeals of sentences are delayed, which more than doubles the national average. This causes the total term to exceed two and a half years. These are the 'waiting times' to evict a squatter in each autonomous community in 2022: Legislation and judicial malfunctions Experts criticize the fact that it is taking longer and longer to evict a squatter, something that occurs, according to Arantxa Goenaga, lawyer and partner at Círculo Legal Barcelona, due to “the poor functioning of the Administration of Justice due to the lack of means .” In addition, she warns that the deadline will increase even more this year due to “the different strikes that are taking place.
