Comprar vivienda en el Penedès

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en el Penedès

El Penedès es una comarca de viñedos entre el litoral y las sierras prelitorales, con Vilafranca del Penedès y Sant Sadurní d’Anoia como poblaciones principales. Sus cascos antiguos tienen casas entre medianeras de piedra y ladrillo, algunas de época modernista, y for el campo se reparten masías, muchas rehabilitadas como vivienda. Desde los años 60 y 70 se levantaron bloques de pisos en los ensanches de las poblaciones mayores, y en varios municipios aparecieron urbanizaciones de chalets, a menudo en zonas de bosque.

En una masía o casa de pueblo, la visita debe centrarse en cubiertas, muros de piedra y estructuras de madera, pero también en lo que no se ve: si hay conexión a la red de saneamiento o fosa séptica, de dónde viene el agua y si las ampliaciones están legalizadas, porque en suelo no urbanizable las obras están muy limitadas. En las urbanizaciones, comprueba que estén recepcionadas for el ayuntamiento y tengan los servicios completos. La inspección técnica añade la medición de humedades en muros y la inspección de las instalaciones.

Vilafranca del Penedès — Capital del Alt Penedès, con casco antiguo de casas entre medianeras y ensanche con bloques de los años 60 y 70; inspecciona forjados, instalaciones y la ITE o el IEE.

Sant Sadurní d’Anoia — Casas de pueblo, algunos edificios modernistas y bloques de pisos; comprueba humedades en plantas bajas, estructuras de madera, cubiertas y el estado de las instalaciones.

Subirats — Municipio disperso entre viñedos, con masías y pequeños núcleos; inspecciona muros de piedra, cubiertas, saneamiento o fosa séptica y la legalidad de las ampliaciones.
