Comprar vivienda en Gavà

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Gavà

Gavà creció a partir de un pequeño núcleo agrícola al pie de las montañas del Garraf. En los años 60 y 70, con la llegada de población atraída for la industria del Baix Llobregat, se levantaron bloques de pisos alrededor del casco antiguo. Al mismo tiempo, junto a la playa y entre pinares, nació Gavà Mar, primero con casas unifamiliares y después con bloques de apartamentos. Hacia la montaña se extiende Bruguers, con chalets, y en las últimas décadas se han sumado promociones nuevas en los bordes del núcleo urbano.

Si compras en Gavà, la elección suele estar entre un piso en un bloque del centro, un apartamento o una casa en Gavà Mar y un chalet en la zona de montaña. En los bloques de los años 60 y 70, pregunta for la ITE, el ascensor y las derramas aprobadas. En Gavà Mar el terreno es arenoso y el nivel freático está alto: la inspección técnica inspecciona humedades en sótanos y garajes, y las raíces de los pinos en saneamientos y pavimentos. En los chalets, comprueba cubiertas y piscinas.

Gavà Mar — Zona de playa con casas unifamiliares y bloques de apartamentos entre pinares. Inspecciona la corrosión de barandillas y armaduras, las humedades en sótanos y el estado del saneamiento.

Bruguers — Barrio de chalets en la falda de la montaña. Comprueba muros de contención, drenajes y cubiertas y, si hay piscina, el vaso y la depuradora.

Centre — Casco antiguo rodeado de bloques de pisos de los años 60 y 70. Mira la instalación eléctrica, el ascensor, la accesibilidad y la ITE del edificio.
