Comprar vivienda en el Maresme
Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en el Maresme
El Maresme es una franja estrecha entre el mar y las sierras litorales, con pueblos que crecieron a lo largo de la costa y de la vía del tren. Mataró, Arenys de Mar o Canet de Mar conservan cascos antiguos de casas de cos entre medianeras y casas de indianos; desde los años 60 y 70 se levantaron bloques de apartamentos turísticos en Calella, Pineda de Mar o Malgrat de Mar, y en las laderas de Cabrils, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres o Teià se extendieron urbanizaciones de chalets.
Comprar en el Maresme suele significar elegir entre un piso en primera o segunda línea de mar, una casa de pueblo o un chalet en ladera. En la casa de pueblo, mira muros, vigas y cubierta; en el chalet, muros de contención, drenajes y accesos, porque muchas urbanizaciones están en pendiente sobre suelo arenoso. Además, varios pueblos tienen calles construidas sobre rieras, que bajan con fuerza en las tormentas: la inspección técnica inspecciona la evacuación de aguas y las plantas bajas. En bloques antiguos, pide la ITE o el IEE y las derramas aprobadas.
Mataró — Capital de la comarca, con casco antiguo de casas de cos y barrios de bloques de los años 60 y 70; inspecciona forjados, instalaciones y la ITE o el IEE.
Calella — Bloques de apartamentos de los años 60 y 70 cerca del mar; comprueba barandillas y frentes de balcones, armaduras oxidadas en fachada, ascensor y derramas aprobadas.
Sant Andreu de Llavaneres — Urbanizaciones de chalets en ladera con vistas al mar; inspecciona muros de contención, drenajes, cubiertas, piscina y la recepción municipal de la urbanización.
