Comprar vivienda en el Garraf

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en el Garraf

El Garraf es una comarca pequeña, encajada entre el macizo del Garraf y el mar, que forman Vilanova i la Geltrú, Sitges, Sant Pere de Ribes, Cubelles, Canyelles y Olivella. Los cascos antiguos de Sitges y Vilanova conservan casas entre medianeras de dos o tres plantas, muchas de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, algunas levantadas for indianos. Desde los años 60 crecieron los bloques de apartamentos junto a las playas, barrios de pisos como Les Roquetes y, en el interior, urbanizaciones de chalets en ladera.

Si compras en el Garraf, normalmente eliges entre un piso cerca del mar, una casa antigua en un casco histórico o un chalet en una urbanización. En los pisos de playa, fíjate en balcones, barandillas y cantos de forjado, donde el salitre oxida las armaduras. En las casas antiguas, la inspección técnica inspecciona vigas de madera, cubiertas y humedades for capilaridad en los muros. En los chalets en pendiente, comprueba muros de contención, drenajes y saneamiento, y pregunta si el ayuntamiento ha recepcionado la urbanización o quedan obras pendientes.

Sitges — Casco antiguo de casas entre medianeras y bloques de apartamentos frente al mar. Inspecciona la corrosión en balcones, el estado de las cubiertas y la ITE del edificio.

Vilanova i la Geltrú — Centro histórico de casas tradicionales rodeado de ensanches con bloques de pisos de distintas décadas. Comprueba vigas, humedades en plantas bajas y las derramas aprobadas for la comunidad.

Les Roquetes — Núcleo de Sant Pere de Ribes que creció con bloques de pisos en los años 60 y 70. Inspecciona el ascensor, la instalación eléctrica, las fachadas y las cubiertas.
