Although it is necessary to address the rights of disabled people re access of pools and communal areas within communities/developments in Spain, I wonder if many living on communities (or their presidents) or those contemplating purchase are aware of these facts and additional costs (see comments at the bottom of this informative blog by Maria de Castro) and whether they understand the implications re developers who might not have abided by regulations associated with disabled provision/access.
The major question that could arise from this is, might this be an instance where the consumer is being made the scapegoat to pay for retrospective adaptations, when in reality the developer has failed to adhere to existing regulations, or perhaps even wider implications linked to the issuance of LFO’s by Town Halls, responsibility of architects who “signed off” plans, etc when regulations relating to disabled provision/access may not have been adhered to from the outset.
Perhaps someone could clarify the situation as it appears somewhat confusing.
