Les Corts is one of the most residential and quiet districts in Barcelona, with prices of up to 3,781 €/m². Its housing stock mixes buildings from the 1960s–80s with recent developments. If we find no defects, we refund your money.

Every part of Barcelona has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Les Corts:
Central air-conditioning systems at the end of their life — in 1990s blocks that have never been inspected.
Façades with deteriorated joints — in 1960s–70s buildings with exposed brickwork.
Damp in underground car parks — common in the area near the Camp Nou.
Les Corts was an independent farming village until the late 19th century, and low houses around the Plaça de la Concòrdia remain from its old core. The district was mostly built up in the second half of the 20th century, with exposed-brick blocks of flats along the Travessera de les Corts and in la Maternitat i Sant Ramon, next to the Camp Nou. Pedralbes is dominated by large period houses with gardens and spacious blocks of flats, many with parking, a concierge and shared areas.
In buildings from the sixties to the eighties, ask about the ITE, the condition of the lifts and whether the owners’ association has approved any works or special levies. In buildings with a concierge, pool or shared garden, check the service charges and the upkeep of those facilities, as they affect what it will cost you to live there. In the houses of Pedralbes, check the roof, the retaining walls and the age of the services. The inspection adds a check of terraces, window frames and insulation, and the energy rating.
