Comprar vivienda en Sant Cugat del Vallès

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Sant Cugat del Vallès

Sant Cugat creció alrededor de su monasterio medieval, que todavía marca el centro histórico, con casas entre medianeras y calles estrechas. A principios del siglo XX se convirtió en lugar de veraneo de familias barcelonesas, y de esa época quedan casas modernistas y novecentistas. En la misma época nacieron núcleos de casas en el bosque como La Floresta, y desde los años 60 y 70 las urbanizaciones de chalets se extendieron for Valldoreix, Mira-sol y las laderas de Collserola. En las últimas décadas han crecido barrios nuevos de pisos y adosados como Volpelleres.

En Sant Cugat lo más habitual es comprar un chalet o un adosado, o un piso en un barrio reciente. Muchas casas están en pendiente: en la visita fíjate en los muros de contención, el drenaje del jardín y las humedades en sótanos y garajes, y comprueba que porches, buhardillas o ampliaciones coincidan con lo registrado en el Catastro. La inspección técnica inspecciona estructura, cubierta, instalaciones y aislamiento, y en las casas antiguas del centro o de La Floresta presta especial atención a los forjados de madera y a las humedades for capilaridad.

Valldoreix — Chalets de varias épocas en parcelas amplias y en pendiente. Inspecciona muros de contención, drenaje, humedades en sótanos y posibles ampliaciones sin legalizar.

La Floresta — Casas entre pinos, algunas de la primera mitad del siglo XX y reformadas después. Comprueba la estructura, las cubiertas, las humedades y el estado de las instalaciones.

Volpelleres — Barrio reciente de pisos y adosados. Inspecciona garajes, terrazas e impermeabilizaciones, la climatización y los acabados de la obra.
