There is no official and reliable data on how many prefabricated or mobile homes exist in Spain. Data from specialized portals, consultants and companies in the sector insist that it is a rising model in the face of the rising prices of traditional housing and the courts have been drawing red lines for years so that the legal margins do not allow the uncontrolled proliferation of these constructions. The latest ruling has come from the Supreme Court and the judges have announced that anyone who wants to live in a mobile home will have to request a planning license from the local council, a process that can take several months and introduces limitations into the equation.
Prefabricated houses are those that are built by putting together elements previously created in a factory: walls, roofs, floors and other structural elements that are assembled on the ground. Mobile homes differ because, in addition, there is the possibility of them being transported once assembled. They are not, in the eyes of the courts, the same as a trailer or caravan, designed to be moved on a regular basis.
