Despite the fact that Malaga is one of the cities with the most hours of sunshine per day and year, many of the constructions have wasted this great source of natural light. What people appreciate most for a home is the brightness, either with a large terrace or a large window with unobstructed views. Taking advantage of every corner of the home to give a sensation of more light will always be a plus in our favor.
3. – Accessibility
One of each 10 households acknowledges having notable deficiencies in terms of adaptability and access to housing. The lack of an elevator in many cases is the main drawback, followed by difficult access for people with reduced mobility. The lack of access ramps can be a justifiable reason for the devaluation of the price of a home and many communities have already set to work to advance in terms of adaptability.

7. – Adaptability
A 7% of Spaniards are not at all satisfied with the ergonomics of their home. This means that their homes do not meet their needs for rest and comfort.. Many owners decide to reform the house to adapt it to their real needs, as it can be, security improvements, space, access and soundproofing. Measures that were not covered at the time of construction of the property.
Most homes have an average life of 45 años, which implies that the design of the spaces does not adjust to the current needs of the users.
8. – health
Good outdoor ventilation and a waste disposal system are the basic requirements for a healthy home.. Only a quarter of the homes meet these requirements since in many cases the community of neighbors is not responsible for the correct maintenance of drains., eye-courtyards and facade cleaning. It is a duty and a right of all neighbors to ensure that the terms of health are complied with in the communities in accordance with the established law..
If you are one of those people who has not yet considered improving your home, this is your time to become aware. Proposes a change of mentality and begins to think that the house is not an expense, but an investment to improve your health and that of your family.
