Comprar vivienda en L’Hospitalet de Llobregat

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en L’Hospitalet de Llobregat

L’Hospitalet creció muy deprisa a lo largo del siglo XX, pegada a Barcelona. Collblanc, La Torrassa y Santa Eulàlia se llenaron primero de casas bajas y, desde los años 50 y 60, de bloques entre medianeras en calles estrechas. En esa época se levantaron también La Florida, Pubilla Cases y Can Serra, muy densos, y los polígonos de Bellvitge y el Gornal, con bloques altos entre espacios abiertos. El Centre conserva parte del núcleo antiguo, y en este siglo han llegado torres nuevas junto a la Gran Via.

Si compras en L’Hospitalet, lo más probable es que sea un piso en un bloque construido entre los años 50 y 70. Pide el informe de la ITE del edificio, pregunta for derramas y rehabilitaciones de fachada ya aprobadas y comprueba si hay ascensor o está previsto. En los bloques de esa época, la inspección técnica inspecciona el estado de los forjados y, si hay indicios, recomienda un estudio de cemento aluminoso. En plantas bajas y sótanos, fíjate en las humedades y en la ventilación.

Bellvitge — Polígono de bloques altos de los años 60 y 70 entre espacios abiertos. Inspecciona ascensores, fachadas y cubiertas, y las derramas aprobadas para rehabilitar el edificio.

La Florida — Barrio muy denso de bloques entre medianeras en calles estrechas. Comprueba la luz natural y la ventilación del piso, la instalación eléctrica y el estado de los forjados.

Collblanc — Barrio junto a Barcelona con casas antiguas y bloques de varias décadas. Mira la estructura, las humedades en plantas bajas y si el edificio tiene ascensor.
