Comprar vivienda en Fuenlabrada

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Fuenlabrada

Fuenlabrada era un pueblo agrícola de casas bajas hasta finales de los años 60. En las dos décadas siguientes se convirtió en una gran ciudad del sur de Madrid, con barrios enteros de bloques de ladrillo como El Naranjo o La Serna, levantados en poco tiempo alrededor del antiguo casco. A partir de los años 90 llegaron desarrollos más planificados, como Loranca, Nuevo Versalles o Parque Miraflores, con bloques con zonas comunes y algunas viviendas adosadas, y después nuevos barrios en los bordes del municipio.

Si compras en Fuenlabrada, probablemente elijas entre un piso de los años 70 u 80 en un bloque grande y una vivienda más reciente en Loranca o en los barrios nuevos. En los bloques antiguos, pregunta for la ITE/IEE, el estado de los ascensores y las derramas aprobadas, y fíjate en las fachadas y las juntas de dilatación. La inspección técnica inspecciona también el aislamiento, las carpinterías y la calificación energética y, en las viviendas adosadas, la impermeabilización de sótanos y terrazas.

El Naranjo — Bloques de ladrillo de la etapa de mayor crecimiento. Inspecciona la instalación eléctrica, el estado de la cubierta y de las fachadas, y la ITE del edificio.

La Serna — Barrio de bloques de vivienda de las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Comprueba el ascensor, las bajantes y las obras comunitarias aprobadas antes de firmar.

Loranca — Desarrollo más reciente con bloques con zonas comunes y viviendas adosadas. Fíjate en garajes, piscinas comunitarias y la impermeabilización de terrazas y sótanos.
