The community of owners of the building that burned in the neighborhood of Belfry of Valenciawhere ten people died on Thursday, studies the hiring an outside expert to the insurance company with which they have subscribed a policy in order to have a specialized and independent opinion.
Owners are organizing around courier and email services and have received several proposals to carry out this appraisal, so that in the coming days will debate on them and they will reach an agreement.
Opinion unrelated to economic interests
The purpose of this initiative is to have the most information possible about the state of the property by specialists in the matter, unrelated as far as possible to the Economic interests of the insurers involved.
As confirmed to EFE by the outgoing president of the community – there was a change prior to the incident – and who has received information from the Firefighters and the Judicial Police, the interior of the property is destroyed to the extent that the homes “they do not exist, they are diaphanous, and the structure has withstood a lot of temperature”.
“The way the building burned is not normal”
“We are looking at the documentation we have, because The way the building burned is not normal. There was some very flammable product, it is not normal,” insists this owner, who admits to being going through a “emotional roller coaster”.
At the moment, the moment from which entry will be allowed of experts to the building. Another of the owners explained to EFE this Sunday that they hope it will be declare the property ruined, either because its reconstruction is impossible, or because the cost of the repair is greater than 50% of the value of the building – not counting the land – which, as stated in the policy to which EFE has had access, amounts to 26.511.000 euros.
In that case, if the value of the reconstruction will exceed 13.2 million, “would declare ruin and the community would be extinct”, this owner has specified.
A partnership for all those affected
The community of owners of the building has stated this Sunday that the association of those affected that has been established is for all the victims, without distinguishing whether they are owners or tenants, and have appealed to unity in these “terrible” moments.

As the owners explain in a statement, the association has been called “from the beginning, and unanimously‘Association of Affected Persons’, without distinction of ownership or not”, and “at no time were they told thatand they could not belong to the association, far from it that the community of owners wanted to go on their own.
