One of the things that a lot of people look forward to when planning a move to Spain is having their very own swimming pool in the garden. If you are planning on renting out your property however, there are some important things you need to know when it comes to your property.

It is imperative that you take out third party insurance which will cover guests, family and friends, or anyone that uses your swimming pool. If they have an accident or are injured whilst using it, you could be liable. The insurance will cover this.

Also, think about the type of people who are going to be using the pool. If it is mainly families then there is likely to be a lot of children too. Ensure it is ‘child – friendly’ and provide inflatable objects and a safety ring at the side of the pool. The more precautions you take when it come to the safety of the people using your pool, the better.

There are strict pool safety regulations set in Spain, so ensure you check with your local authorities as to what they are and ensure that you comply.
