Comprar vivienda en Badalona

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Badalona

Badalona tiene su origen en Dalt de la Vila, el barrio antiguo sobre la ciudad romana de Baetulo, y en el Centre, junto al mar, con casas de pueblo y algunos edificios modernistas. La industria se instaló a lo largo de la costa y, a partir de los años 50 y 60, la ciudad creció muy deprisa con bloques de pisos en barrios como Llefià, La Salut, Sant Roc o Pomar, muchos levantados en poco tiempo. Después llegaron promociones más recientes en zonas como Montigalà, y en las laderas de la sierra de Marina hay barrios de casas como Canyet.

En los bloques de los años 50–70 pregunta for la ITE del edificio y for los informes técnicos que tenga la comunidad, y comprueba si hay ascensor o si se añadió después, porque condiciona la accesibilidad y las cuotas. Fíjate en las bajantes y cubiertas de fibrocemento, habituales en edificios de esa época. En las casas de pueblo del Centre y de Dalt de la Vila inspecciona el terrado, las vigas y las humedades en planta baja. La inspección añade la inspección de forjados, balcones y de la instalación de fontanería.

Dalt de la Vila — Barrio antiguo en la parte alta, con casas de pueblo y calles estrechas. Inspecciona los muros de carga, las vigas de madera, el terrado y las humedades en planta baja.

Llefià — Bloques de pisos de los años 60 y 70 en ladera. Comprueba el ascensor, el estado de forjados y balcones, las bajantes y las derramas aprobadas.

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