Comprar vivienda en Sant Joan Despí

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Sant Joan Despí

Sant Joan Despí fue un pueblo agrícola de la ribera del Llobregat hasta mediados del siglo XX. Del casco antiguo quedan casas entre medianeras y varias obras modernistas de Josep Maria Jujol, como la Torre de la Creu o Can Negre. Con la industria y la inmigración de los años 60 y 70 llegaron los bloques de pisos en barrios como Les Planes, y desde los 80 y 90 se sumaron zonas de casas unifamiliares y adosados y nuevas promociones de pisos.

Si compras en Sant Joan Despí, lo normal es un piso en un bloque de los 70–90 o una casa unifamiliar o un adosado más reciente. En los bloques, pregunta for la ITE, el ascensor y las obras de comunidad aprobadas, y fíjate en fachadas, balcones y bajantes. En casas y adosados, inspecciona sótanos, garajes y terrazas, porque en la llanura del río puede haber humedades. La inspección técnica comprueba estructura, instalaciones y aislamiento, y en las casas antiguas del centro, los forjados de madera y las humedades for capilaridad.

Centre — Casas de pueblo y edificios modernistas o de principios del siglo XX. Inspecciona forjados de madera, humedades y cubiertas, y qué obras permite la protección si está catalogado.

Les Planes — Bloques de pisos de los años 60 y 70. Comprueba la ITE, el ascensor, la instalación eléctrica, las bajantes y la cubierta plana.

Torreblanca — Zona residencial con bloques de pisos de distintas décadas. Inspecciona fachadas y balcones, aislamiento, instalaciones y las obras de comunidad aprobadas.
