From the old town of Logroño to the villages of Rioja Alta and Rioja Baja, La Rioja combines old homes with load-bearing walls, blocks from the 1960s–80s and recent developments. The sharp temperature contrasts leave their mark on façades and roofs. The average home price in La Rioja is 1,743 €/m². If we find no defects, we refund your money.
No ties to developers, estate agents or sellers. We work only for you.
Every area has its own typical problems. These are the most common in La Rioja:
Cracks caused by temperature contrasts and frost
Cold winters and hot summers cause expansion and frost that crack façades, eaves and roofs.
Rising damp in old town centres
The old buildings of Logroño and of many villages, with load-bearing walls and no damp-proof course, suffer from damp rising from the ground.
Clay soils in the Ebro valley
In some parts of the valley, clay soils can cause settlement and cracks in walls and partitions.
Insulation and installations in 1960s–80s blocks
Many blocks from that period have poor insulation and electrical and plumbing installations that have never been updated.
The process in La Rioja is simple and fast.
