Majadahonda has an average price of 4,826 €/m² and is one of the most sought-after towns in the north-west. Its high-quality housing stock is not free from hidden defects in installations and outdoor areas. If we find no defects, we refund your money.
No ties to developers, estate agents or sellers. We work only for you.
Every part of Madrid has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Majadahonda:
Underfloor heating installations with hidden leaks — common in detached houses from the 2000s.
Pitched roofs with leaks at the junctions with chimneys or skylights.
Central air-conditioning systems at the end of their life in 1990s blocks.
Majadahonda was a small farming village until the sixties, when it began to grow as a residential town in the north-west of Madrid. Around the old centre and the Gran Vía, blocks of flats went up in the seventies and eighties, while estates of detached and terraced houses spread across the outskirts, such as those around Monte del Pilar. From the nineties onwards, developments of flats with communal areas, a pool and a garage were added, such as those in Roza Martín.
If you buy in Majadahonda, you will most likely be choosing between a detached or terraced house with a garden and a flat on an estate with communal areas. In a house, check the roofs, terraces, retaining walls and the state of the garden next to the façade during the viewing; a technical inspection adds a damp survey with a thermal imaging camera and checks of the fuse box, the boiler and the air conditioning. In a flat, ask for the owners’ association minutes, which may include special levies for the pool, garage or façade, and check the energy performance certificate.
Casco antiguo — Old houses and blocks of flats from the seventies and eighties, some without a lift; check the wiring, downpipes, roof and the building’s ITE or IEE.
Monte del Pilar — Detached houses on wooded plots next to the woodland; check roofs and gutters, damp in basements, retaining walls and the condition of the pool.
Roza Martín — More recent developments of flats with a garage and communal areas; check the finishes, the waterproofing of terraces and garage, and whether the owners’ association has open claims against the developer.
