Thank you all for your excellent helpful replies.

I have plenty of experience when booking flights, and when to do it. But do I book ferries in advance, or leave it to the last minute? do prices fluctuate, or rise as the date gets nearer? and is it different for each ferry operator? I am leaning towards Portsmouth-Bilbao route, but thinking it would be nice to make it a road trip via Le Havre.

What about headlight deflectors, if I am driving down to Portsmouth is it easy to fit them when exiting the ferry in France?.

Thank you Spanishsolicitor & Roberto
These excellent answers/information give food for thought.

The ONLY common part of our community, as I see it is the swimming pool, the majority do not seem to care whether it is there or not. But from what you are saying Spanishsolicitor the vote to terminate the commonhod has to be by "unanimous consent". Highly unlikley that this would happen - maybe a majority? therefore the minority would keep the commonhold going?

The apartments are similar to 'terrace' build in the UK Roberto, the roof is the upstairs apartments sun terrace, surely their responsibility.to maintain? as the front terrace is the responsibility of the ground floor owner. Painting/maintaining the outside fabric of each individual apartment the same? 

The swimming pool? concrete and carpark spring to mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand the need for such an Act if it is a multi storey building, or a gated community with extensive grounds, But struggle with the imposition in this case.

Thread: Horizontal Property Law - can a community/individual opt out?

--------------------------------------

I am living in an apartment which is not gated, only ground and upper floor apartment build. The build is is configured as seperate streets and in the middle of a village. It has a swimming pool for use by  the 'community/apartment' owners but no grounds/grassed areas to maintain.

1. Why does it have to be a community under the Horizontal Property Law?

2. Can an individual opt out?

3. Can the majority decide they dont want a community?

Any legal information appreciated.
