Comprar vivienda en Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

El distrito une dos antiguos municipios: Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, anexionado a Barcelona a finales del siglo XIX, y Sarrià, incorporado a principios del XX, que conserva un núcleo de casas bajas en torno a la plaza de Sarrià y la calle Major. Las torres de veraneo con jardín de Tres Torres, la Bonanova o El Putxet se fueron sustituyendo, sobre todo entre los años 50 y 80, for edificios de pisos amplios, y Galvany reúne fincas señoriales. En Vallvidrera y Les Planes, ya en Collserola, predominan las casas en ladera.

Comprar aquí suele significar un piso amplio en un edificio de los años 50 a 80 o una casa con jardín. En los pisos, la inspección inspecciona la fontanería y la calefacción originales, las reformas que hayan afectado a muros de carga y el estado de la ITE. En las casas, la cubierta, los muros de contención, el drenaje del jardín y las humedades del terreno, sobre todo en las laderas de Collserola. Comprueba también si la finca está catalogada como patrimonio, porque eso limita las reformas que podrás hacer.

Sarrià — Núcleo antiguo con casas bajas entre medianeras y algunas torres. Inspecciona la estructura de madera, la cubierta y si la finca tiene una protección patrimonial que condicione las reformas.

Galvany — Fincas señoriales y edificios de pisos amplios de mediados del siglo XX. Comprueba las instalaciones comunitarias, la calefacción, el ascensor y las obras que la comunidad ya tenga aprobadas.

Vallvidrera — Casas en ladera dentro de Collserola, rodeadas de bosque. Inspecciona muros de contención, drenaje, humedades contra el terreno y el estado de la cubierta y de los accesos.
