Comprar vivienda en Alcobendas

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Alcobendas

Alcobendas era un pueblo pequeño hasta que, a partir de los años 60, la industria y la cercanía a Madrid for la A-1 atrajeron a mucha población. De esa etapa son los bloques de pisos de ladrillo del centro, levantados en poco tiempo y muchas veces sin garaje. En las décadas siguientes se sumaron urbanizaciones de chalets como La Moraleja o El Soto de La Moraleja y, más recientemente, barrios de nueva construcción como Arroyo de la Vega o Valdelasfuentes, con edificios de pisos con garaje, piscina y zonas comunes.

Si buscas en el centro, pregunta si el bloque tiene ascensor o si está previsto instalarlo, y si la comunidad tiene derramas aprobadas para la fachada o la accesibilidad. En los chalets de La Moraleja inspecciona la cubierta, la piscina, los muros de contención y la antigüedad de las instalaciones, que en muchas casas no se han renovado desde su construcción. En las promociones recientes, la inspección añade la inspección de terrazas, cubiertas transitables y carpinterías, y la comprobación de la calificación energética.

City centre — Bloques de pisos de los años 60 y 70, muchos sin garaje. Comprueba el ascensor, la instalación eléctrica, las bajantes y las derramas aprobadas for la comunidad.

La Moraleja — Urbanización de chalets con parcela y jardín. Inspecciona la cubierta, la piscina, los muros de contención, el drenaje del terreno y la antigüedad de las instalaciones.

Valdelasfuentes — Barrio de crecimiento reciente con edificios de pisos con garaje y zonas comunes. Inspecciona terrazas, acabados, filtraciones en sótanos y la calificación energética.
