Comprar vivienda en Sabadell

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Sabadell

Sabadell creció como gran ciudad textil entre los siglos XIX y XX. Del Centre y su entorno quedan casas entre medianeras, edificios modernistas y antiguas naves industriales, los vapors, algunas reconvertidas en viviendas. Con la inmigración de los años 50 a 70 surgieron barrios de bloques de pisos como Can Oriac, Torre-romeu o Campoamor, a menudo construidos con prisa y pocos medios. Desde finales de los 80 la ciudad se ha completado con nuevas zonas residenciales, como el Eix Macià, levantado sobre antiguo suelo industrial.

Si compras en Sabadell, lo más probable es que sea un piso en un bloque de los 60–80 o en un edificio antiguo del centro. En la visita, fíjate en si hay ascensor y en el estado de la escalera y la fachada, y pregunta for la ITE del edificio y las obras comunitarias aprobadas. La inspección técnica inspecciona la estructura (forjados, vigas y fisuras), las instalaciones eléctrica y de agua, las humedades en plantas bajas y la cubierta plana. En una nave reconvertida, conviene además comprobar el aislamiento y que el uso de vivienda esté legalizado.

Centre — Casas entre medianeras y edificios modernistas o de principios del siglo XX. Inspecciona forjados de madera o de viguetas, humedades y la instalación eléctrica.

Can Oriac — Bloques de pisos de los años 60 y 70 en un barrio denso. Comprueba la ITE, si hay ascensor, el estado de las bajantes y la cubierta plana.

Eix Macià — Edificios de pisos de las últimas décadas sobre antiguo suelo industrial. Inspecciona garajes, terrazas, carpintería exterior y el estado de la climatización.
