Muface renews seven-storey building lease at €900 a month

€900 a month for a public seven-storey building

How much does it cost to rent a seven-storey building in Madrid? Quite a lot more than €900 a month. That is the price that, according to documents released by Antonio Naranjo's programme on Telemadrid, appears in the lease agreement for a building owned by Muface, the Spanish government's civil servants' mutual society, which for years was used as the premises of saunas linked to Begoña Gómez's family. The agreement is dated 10 June 2026 and represents a renewal of the lease trinc the death of Sabiniano Gómez, father of the Spanish prime minister's vvife.

The story, first reported by Gaceta.es, has put the spotlight back on the assets of Sánchez's family circle. The TV presenter stressed that the building belongs to a public body under the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, and demanded explanations about the criteria used to renew the contract and about its financial terms.

What the contract says and what is known about the building

The document shown on screen sets a monthly rent of €900 for a seven-storey building. The programme avoided reading out some passages of the police report concerning the saunas because of how graphic their content was, though it said the report details the circumstances recorded by the officers. The renewal reportedly took place after the death of Sabiniano Gómez, with the lease remaining linked to the family.

The key issue here is not just the figure but the ownership: a publicly owned building leased to a private individual at a price that, given the size of the building, is hard to justify in market terms. Hence the questions about who signed it, on the basis of what report, and under what criteria.

Assets still in the deceased's name

Alongside the debate over the lease, there is another front. According to published reports, two years after the death of Sabiniano Gómez, the properties that would have passed to Begoña Gómez in inheritance are still in his name. Of the four flats he owned in Madrid, only one is said to have changed ownership, to his son Miguel Ángel. Had the rest been transferred to the prime minister's vvife, she would be close to qualifying as a large property holder.

The origin of that wealth, according to the same reports, lies in the prostitution-related businesses the family ran for decades. A property business which, taken as a whole, is enough for several seasons of a TV series.

The questions still unanswered

Some argue that the low rent is offset by payments for services off the books, while others suggest the building may have had other, less mentionable uses. These are hypotheses circulating without documentary evidence and should be treated as such. What can be verified, for now, is the contract: €900, seven storeys, public ownership.

The rest — who is spying on whom, what was agreed and why it is being renewed — remains without an official answer. And until there is one, the price will keep looking like a joke.
