ausados en el edificio─, constituyen buena prueba de la degradación del nivel de tutela que dispensa esta norma respecto del precedente régimen del artículo 1.591 CC. Por este motivo, resulta particularmente importante la posibilidad de poder apelar al ejercicio de las acciones contractuales como garantía de indemnidad, lo que exige determinar, en primer lugar, su compatibilidad con el régimen de la LOE y, en segundo, su alcance temporal.
Building Regulation Act (LOE) has meant a major advance in building planning, but it has also meant a devaluation of the protection enjoyed by the owner. The drastic reduction in the guarantee period related to habitability defects from ten to three years, the reduction in the prescription period from fifteen to two years and the objective limitation of the damages which can be claimed under its protection –ow exclusively limited to material damages caused in the building– give clear proof of the decrease in the protection provided by this law compared to the previous law, article 1.591 C.C. For this reason, it is highly important to be able to appeal to contractual actions as indemnity guarantee, which requires firstly to determine the compatibility with the LOE rules, and secondly, its temporal scope.
