The couple’s mortgage balance had fallen from its original principal of €159,300 to €61,786.31 by 2023, according to Divinity’s account of Pedro Sánchez’s asset declaration to Congress. Sánchez filed the declaration on 9 August 2023, at the start of Spain’s 15th legislature. He declared a 50% share in the property, which he and Begoña Gómez bought in 2008. The balance was €86,242 in 2019, several months after Sánchez became prime minister.
The property is in Pozuelo de Alarcón, outside Madrid, and covers 80 square metres. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen is separate, and the flat also has a terrace. A garage space in a communal car park is included. Divinity reported that the home is in a private residential development with a pool and gardens; paddle-tennis courts are also on site. Sánchez’s 2023 declaration listed two Madrid residences, acquired in 1992 and 2008, and associated both with garage spaces. El Español reported that he declared €12,845 in rental income from real estate that year.
Television cameras entered the home in 2014 for Jesús Calleja’s Planeta Calleja. Begoña Gómez said at the time that it was the first and last time they would let cameras into the flat. The programme showed the living room, where a white leather chaise longue sat beside a dark wooden table. Brown leather chairs completed the seating area. A white open shelving unit marked the entrance, alongside a mirror and a fitted wardrobe.
The home’s decor includes abstract paintings and a silver-framed mirror. Family photographs also appear in the flat. One picture showed Felipe VI with Sánchez; the programme also gave viewers a look at the kitchen, notable for its vivid green colour.
In a 2018 interview on Herrera en COPE, Sánchez said he was content with the house and had no plans to buy another. He said he hoped it would be his last home and that he would enjoy it for many years. His comments also addressed criticism of politicians buying expensive homes.
