Politicians call for rent controls in Barcelona and Madrid

POLITICIANS are calling for controls on rent prices in Barcelona and Madrid.

Cushman & Wakefield forecast that average residential rental prices will increase by 10% this year in Madrid, and 5% in Barcelona.

New figures from the Spanish property portal Idealista.com show that rental yields are also rising, implying that rents are rising faster than house prices.
