Every part of Madrid has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Pozuelo de Alarcón:
Natural stone façades with deteriorated joints — in 1990s detached houses.
Underfloor heating installations with leaks — in detached houses from the 2000s that have gone 20+ years without being checked.
Swimming pools with structural cracks — common in 1990s developments.
Pozuelo de Alarcón has two historic cores: the Pueblo, around the church and the old village, and the Estación, which grew up beside the railway with clusters of early villas. From the sixties and seventies, large estates of detached houses such as Somosaguas and Monteclaro spread out, along with blocks of flats near both cores. From the nineties onwards came gated estates such as La Finca and developments of flats with communal areas around the Avenida de Europa.
In the detached houses on estates built between the sixties and the nineties, check the roofs, terraces and retaining walls during the viewing, as well as the age of the boiler, wiring and plumbing, which may never have been renewed. A technical inspection adds a search for damp in basements and façades with a thermal imaging camera and a check of the pool and drainage. Also make sure that extensions, porches or attic rooms are legal and match the Cadastre. In flats, ask for the owners’ association minutes and any approved special levies.
Pozuelo Pueblo — Traditional houses and blocks of flats from different periods next to the old village; check the installations, roofs, accessibility and the ITE or IEE of the blocks.
Pozuelo Estación — Older detached houses alongside more recent blocks; in the houses, check the structure, roofs and original installations, and in the flats, the owners’ association minutes and special levies.
Somosaguas — Spacious detached houses on large plots, many of them decades old; check roofs, basements, the pool, retaining walls and the age of the boiler and air conditioning.
