Comprar vivienda en Getafe

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Getafe

Getafe conserva un casco antiguo de calles estrechas alrededor de la catedral de la Magdalena, pero la mayor parte de sus viviendas llegó con la industrialización del sur de Madrid. En los años 60 y 70 se levantaron barrios enteros de bloques de ladrillo, como Las Margaritas, La Alhóndiga o Juan de la Cierva. Después vinieron áreas más planificadas, como el Sector III, con bloques entre zonas verdes, y Getafe Norte, y ya en este siglo los nuevos barrios de El Bercial, Los Molinos y Buenavista.

Si compras en Getafe, lo más habitual es un piso en un bloque de los 60 o 70, muchos de cuatro o cinco plantas sin ascensor original. Pregunta si la comunidad ha instalado ascensor o tiene la obra aprobada, y inspecciona la ITE/IEE y las derramas pendientes. La inspección técnica comprueba también fisuras en fachadas y tabiques, carpinterías, aislamiento y calificación energética. En la obra nueva de Los Molinos o Buenavista, mira garajes, remates e impermeabilización de terrazas, y si quedan reparaciones pendientes con el promotor.

Las Margaritas — Barrio de bloques de ladrillo de los años 60, muchos sin ascensor original. Comprueba la instalación eléctrica, las bajantes y si hay obras de accesibilidad aprobadas.

Sector III — Barrio planificado de bloques de varias alturas entre zonas verdes. Inspecciona los ascensores, las fachadas, las cubiertas planas y las derramas aprobadas for la comunidad.

El Bercial — Barrio de este siglo con bloques con zonas comunes, garaje y piscina. Fíjate en la impermeabilización de garajes y terrazas, los remates y el estado de las zonas comunes.
