Comprar vivienda en Sitges

Lo que conviene saber antes de comprar en Sitges

El núcleo antiguo de Sitges se agrupa junto al mar, alrededor de la iglesia de La Punta, con casas encaladas entre medianeras y calles estrechas. En el siglo XIX los indianos que volvían de América levantaron casas señoriales, y a finales de siglo llegaron el modernismo y los primeros veraneantes. Desde los años 60 y 70 el turismo trajo bloques de apartamentos en el paseo marítimo y urbanizaciones de chalets en las colinas, como Vallpineda o Levantina, que se sumaron a la ciudad jardín de Terramar, nacida en el primer tercio del siglo XX.

En Sitges sueles comprar cerca del mar: un apartamento de los 60–80, una casa en el centro o un chalet en una urbanización. En la visita, fíjate en los cantos de balcones y terrazas, donde el aire salino oxida las armaduras y desprende el hormigón, y en barandillas y carpinterías. En los bloques, pregunta for la ITE y for obras de fachada aprobadas; en los chalets en pendiente, inspecciona muros de contención y drenajes. En las casas antiguas del centro, la inspección técnica comprueba vigas de madera, humedades for capilaridad y salitre.

Centre — Casas encaladas entre medianeras y casas de indianos, muchas reformadas. Inspecciona vigas de madera, humedades y salitre, cubiertas y que las reformas tengan licencia.

Terramar — Ciudad jardín junto al mar con chalets de varias épocas y edificios más recientes. Inspecciona la corrosión en balcones y barandillas, cubiertas, piscinas y humedades en sótanos.

Vallpineda — Urbanización de chalets de varias épocas en las colinas. Comprueba muros de contención, drenaje, cubiertas, la piscina y posibles ampliaciones sin legalizar.
