Las Rozas de Madrid has an average price of 4,826 €/m² and is one of the fastest-growing towns in the north-west. Its housing stock, with many detached houses from the 1990s–2010s, presents characteristic problems. If we find no defects, we refund your money.

Every part of Madrid has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Las Rozas de Madrid:
Leaking underfloor heating systems — installed in the 2000s, with circuits that have exceeded their service life.
Swimming pools with cracks and structural leaks — in 1990s developments more than 25 years old.
Damp on west-facing façades — exposure to the westerly wind and rain causes damage to the rendering.
Las Rozas was a small town in north-west Madrid until the 60s, with an old centre around the church and the village of Las Matas next to the railway station. From the 70s onwards, estates of detached houses spread among the pines and holm oaks, such as Molino de la Hoz and Punta Galea. From the 90s onwards came larger developments of terraced houses and blocks with communal areas, such as El Burgo and La Marazuela, and the town became mainly residential.
If you buy in Las Rozas, the most common options are a detached or terraced house from recent decades, or a flat on a development with a pool and garage. In older detached houses, check the roof, windows, insulation and boiler and, on sloping plots, the retaining walls and drainage. On developments with communal areas, ask about the service charges and any levies already approved. The technical inspection also checks for damp in basements, the waterproofing of terraces and the energy rating.
Las Matas — A village centre by the railway station with old houses, detached houses and low-rise blocks. Check the roof and services and, in the oldest houses, the insulation and damp.
Molino de la Hoz — An estate of detached houses on large plots by the river Guadarrama. Check retaining walls, drainage, roofs, the pool and the condition of the sewerage.
La Marazuela — A recently developed neighbourhood of blocks with communal areas and terraced houses. Look at the garages, communal pools, terrace waterproofing and the quality of the finishes.
