Well Sping
There is one easy way of resolving the issue. Those who have constructed the various builds could simply return their properties to the original condition. End of dispute. Community back to staus quo. !!!
But will they... NO !
You fail to understand the Laws within Spain. It is not simply an issue of Planning permissions or Building Licences. These properties are in breach of both the Urban Law and the Horizontal Property Laws. Who are we as visitors to this country to go around ignoring the Law of the Land, even under the pretence that we did not know!
You are quite right in that various works undertaken within the community by owners may not have building licences, but are they in breach of the Urban Law and Horizontal Property Laws....No Who are we to speculate on who has and who has not obtained a building licence for their patio, garden tiles or casita
As the Legal report clearly states, the issue of building licences and urban/horizontal property law are very seperate issues.
You make a point that this will cost the community a lot of money. Well the opinion of the Lawyer is clear. The community have a good case. If that is the case then we will be able to claim our costs back from the other parties on success. Its a balanced decision that we must take.
You also make a point about the community being permanently split. Do you not think that if people were allowed to have opinions without being bullied by individuals within the community it would in fact be a better place. With the number of owners within the community we are never all going to agree on every topic.
If individuals are that concerned about the community, then they should stop intimidating owners to vote in a certain way. Let us all make up our own minds. If the outcome of the AGM goes against the way I personaly wish to vote, then so be it, the Community have made a decision which I will accept.
I suggest that others do the same. Whatever the outcome of any vote, lets take this as the opportunity to accept the decision and move on instead of this continual bickering and back stabbing.
Community thread:
save our community by voting against any further action!
