Legal tip 340. Easements in Spain 4: lights and views
08 September 2010 @ 14:16

Easement of lights:   Existence of holes to make light of neighboring property

Easement of views:  Opening windows or holes to enjoy views across the neighboring farm, and prevent any work that undermine or hamper them.

Lights and views on party wall. - To open windows or holes in the party wall, it is only required the consent of the other, or other owners.
 

Tolerance hollow: The owner of a wall, which is not a party wall, can open windows or hollows in it provided that:

    - Are immediate to the roofs.

    - Its dimensions are 30 cm square and

    - Have iron bars tucked into the wall with wire netting.

Direct views:

Straight windows, balconies or other similar projections on a property next door cannot be opened if there are not two meters of minimum distance between this and the neighboring one.

Sides or oblique windows cannot be opened if there is not 60 cm of distance from the line separating the two properties.

If by any title, an owner has a right to have direct views, balconies or viewpoints on the adjacent property, the owner of this passive estate cannot build nearer than three meters from the other one.
