Comprar vivienda en Gràcia

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Gràcia

Gràcia fue una villa independiente hasta finales del siglo XIX, y su núcleo conserva una trama de calles estrechas y plazas con casas de pueblo de dos o tres plantas, a menudo junto a edificios de pisos levantados después sobre las mismas parcelas. En la calle Gran de Gràcia y alrededores hay edificios modernistas, y en Camp d’en Grassot i Gràcia Nova el tejido se parece más al del Eixample. Hacia la montaña, Vallcarca i els Penitents, el Coll y la Salut mezclan torres antiguas, casas en ladera y bloques de los años 60 y 70.

En las casas de pueblo fíjate en el terrado, en las vigas y en si las ampliaciones o remontas tienen licencia, porque no siempre están legalizadas. En las fincas modernistas pregunta for la ITE, for las obras en fachada y balcones y for si el edificio está protegido. En las calles en pendiente de Vallcarca y el Coll inspecciona los muros de contención y la humedad en las paredes en contacto con el terreno. La inspección añade la inspección de forjados y cubiertas y de la ventilación de las estancias interiores.

Vila de Gràcia — Casas de pueblo y edificios de pisos en calles estrechas y plazas. Inspecciona el terrado, las vigas de madera, las remontas sin licencia y la ventilación de las estancias interiores.

Camp d’en Grassot i Gràcia Nova — Edificios de vecinos de finales del siglo XIX y del XX, con una trama parecida a la del Eixample. Comprueba la ITE, los balcones, el ascensor y las bajantes.

Vallcarca i els Penitents — Barrio en ladera con casas antiguas y bloques de distintas épocas. Inspecciona los muros de contención, la humedad del terreno, la cubierta y la accesibilidad.
