Most common problems in Almería
What we usually find in Almería properties
1
Problems caused by the arid climate and extreme heat — The semi-arid climate of Almería — the driest in Europe — causes extreme thermal expansion and contraction in building materials. Cracks and deteriorated expansion joints are common throughout the housing stock.
2
Corrosion in properties on the Almería coast — The coastal towns of the Poniente and Levante Almeriense have a high proportion of flats from the 1980s–2000s with salt corrosion that has never been checked.
3
Poor-quality construction from the property boom — Almería had a building boom in the 1990s–2000s in which many developments were built with defects that only appear years later. A technical inspection is especially worthwhile for this type of property.
