Cáceres, whose Monumental City is a World Heritage Site, has a historic housing stock that is unique in Spain, with stately mansions and medieval palaces. The problems of its stone buildings and those of the homes in the Ensanche are very different from each other. The average price in the province is 1,122 €/m². If we find no defects, we refund your money.

Every part of Cáceres has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Cáceres:
Erosion and cracks in historic granite buildings — the mansions of the monumental quarter have built up centuries of deterioration.
Damp in historic buildings — the monumental quarter has centuries-old rising damp.
Outdated installations in the 1960s–80s expansion districts that have never been upgraded.
Within its walls, the Ciudad Monumental (old town) of Cáceres preserves fortified houses, palaces and churches built of granite, and alongside it lie traditional neighbourhoods such as San Antonio. In the 20th century the city grew through the Cánovas extension and, between the sixties and the eighties, with estates of blocks of flats; Aldea Moret began as a mining settlement. Elsewhere in the province, Plasencia and Trujillo have old stone centres, and La Vera and the Ambroz valley are full of timber-framed houses.
In the Ciudad Monumental, any renovation is subject to the protection rules for the historic ensemble: before buying, find out what works are allowed. The inspection measures rising damp with a hygrometer and checks tiled roofs and timber floor structures. In blocks from the sixties to the eighties, ask about the building’s technical inspection, the lift and any approved works. With very hot summers, look at the insulation, orientation and window frames. In village houses, check adobe or rammed-earth walls and the condition of the timber.

Aldea Moret — Neighbourhood that began as a mining settlement, with homes from different periods. Check the structure, roofs, damp and the condition of the installations.
La Vera — District in the north of the province with traditional timber-framed houses of adobe and tile. Check the timber, possible woodworm and damp on the ground floor.
