The defects that affect the habitability of the dwellings are the damages included in the LOE that reduce the acceptable conditions of healthiness and watertightness; that there is protection against noise, energy saving and thermal insulation in the dwellings, and any other functional aspect of the constructive elements or installations that allow a satisfactory use of the building; <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Specifically, section c) of article 3 of the LOE establishes as basic requirements of the building, those relating to habitability:<\/p>\n
c.1) Hygiene, health and environmental protection, in such a way that acceptable conditions of salubrity and watertightness are achieved in the interior environment of the building and that the building does not deteriorate the environment in its immediate surroundings, guaranteeing adequate management of all types of waste;<\/p>\n
(c.2) Protection against noise in such a way that the perceived noise does not endanger the health of persons and allows them to carry out their activities satisfactorily;<\/p>\n
(c.3) energy savings and thermal insulation, so as to achieve a rational use of the energy necessary for the proper use of the building;<\/p>\n
(c.4) Other functional aspects of the building elements or installations which permit satisfactory use of the building;<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Damage to habitability diminishes the quality of life of the place we live in; A newly built house has to offer exactly what we buy, we cannot settle or resign ourselves to the fact that it has a number of inherent defects, which can never be justified as “normal”; By habitability it is not enough to mean literally “habitable”, but it means that it is possible to live adequately with minimum requirements of comfort; Thus, a series of damages could be listed that in any case are claimable: dampness, cracks, bad smells, noises (due to bad acoustic insulation), air filtration, problems in access and functionality of the garages etc..;<\/p>\n
\n
What we have to do is, after commissioning an expert report, and once the cause of the damage and the possible liability have been determined, require the architect, quantity surveyor, builder or developer of the building to respond, according to their responsibility, within the guarantee period granted by the Law on Building Regulations;<\/p>\n
