What is a rehabilitation?
Works carried out to improve homes and buildings.
Different types of rehabilitations
Housing rehabilitation:
Housing rehabilitation is the adaptation of the living conditions of the home. With them you can:
• Achieve minimum conditions of useful surface, interior distribution, water, electricity, gas, ventilation, natural lighting and ventilation, thermal and acoustic insulation.
• Works to save energy consumption or adapt to current regulations regarding water, gas, electricity, fire protection, sanitation or removal of architectural barriers.
• Expansion of the living space , according to urban planning, up to 120 m2 of usable space.
Building rehabilitation:
Building rehabilitation is the structural and functional adaptation of buildings used for housing. What does it mean?
• Structural adaptation : works that guarantee the safety of the building structure.
• Functional adaptation : works that provide the building with sufficient access conditions, watertightness against rain and humidity, thermal insulation, general water, gas, electricity, telephone, sanitation networks, etc.
Horizontal Property Law
How many votes are needed to install an elevator in a building that does not have one?
The LPH (Condominium Property Law) states that the establishment of an elevator service, even if it involves the modification of the constitutive title or the statutes, requires the favorable vote of three-fifths of the total number of owners who, in turn, represent three-fifths of the participation quotas . The agreement validly adopted in accordance with this special majority is binding on all owners.
How can the necessary majorities be obtained when very few residents attend the meeting?
The Law establishes the obligation of every owner to notify the Secretary of an address for notifications, and if he does not do so, the notifications made to his premises or flat will be valid. The votes of the owners who do not attend will be considered in favour of the agreement if they do not express their opposition within thirty days of being notified of the adoption of said agreement. Therefore, it is very important to notify any address to which these notifications may be sent.

GOOD EVENING! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF ELECTRICITY A HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR CONSUMES, TYPE OF WIRING ESPECIALLY, LOCATION OF SAID CABLES...EVERYTHING RELATED TO THE ELECTRICITY OF A HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR...THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I HOPE TO GET ADVICE...KINDLY REGARDS...ARCH. MONICA BAGGINI – TEL. (0351) 156212583
Good morning Monica,
The hydraulic lift can be three-phase at 400 V. For 450 kg payload (6 persons) and 0.62 m/s speed, with electronic valves, a power of approximately 8 KW is required. The three-phase line for this power can be 3 x 6 + 6 + 6 mm2 .
We hope we have helped you!

Hello
I have a question about the minimum distance allowed on cut-out stairs.
Good morning Carlos,
The minimum distance in elevator spaces is contemplated in the European Standards EN 81, although its application will have to be considered depending on the type of installation.
We therefore recommend that you contact a lift operator so that they can specifically analyse the issue you are raising.
Greetings!
Hello, I live in a block of 24 apartments. A month ago we had a meeting to see if we could put in two lifts (there are two staircases, one on the right and one on the left). The vote was no due to money problems, widows' unemployment, etc. Now two owners of the 4th floor on the right want to put in one for private use only for the two of them, citing the owners to another meeting to say yes or no. Can we put in a lift for two floors without giving anything in return, just to say yes? How many votes are needed when, in addition, these people do not live here or are registered in the town? One is English married to an English man and the other is Spanish with an English woman. They only come in the summer and for Christmas.
I would like to be informed about the possibility of installing an elevator in a 3-story house with 2 neighbors per floor and four apartments, since the first and the apartments do not want one. On the second floor there is a person with absolute disability due to respiratory problems, on the third floor there is a transplant patient and another 70-year-old person. What are the possibilities that the law will protect us when we are sick? Thank you.
Good morning,
First of all, we at GMV Eurolift SA would like to thank you for the initiative you have taken in contacting us to find a solution to your problem,
We have analysed your query and, as lift manufacturers, we cannot help you, as this is not a question of lift regulations, but rather a legal problem. Our advice is to put yourself in the hands of an expert.
Receive a cordial greeting,
