Soria is one of the least populated provincial capitals in Spain, with a small housing stock but great potential for growth. Its extreme climate causes specific problems in façades and roofs. If we find no defects, we refund your money.
No ties to developers, estate agents or sellers. We work only for you.
Every part of Soria has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Soria:
Cracks caused by extreme thermal expansion — Soria records extreme temperatures in both summer and winter.
Roofs with deteriorated waterproofing — freezing and thawing speed up the damage.
Old heating installations — in the historic housing stock, not checked for decades.
Soria’s historic centre still has stone houses and low-rise buildings around Calle Collado, the Plaza Mayor and the Romanesque churches, with rubble-stone walls and timber structures. From the mid-20th century the city grew with neighbourhoods of blocks of flats such as Los Pajaritos and with extensions along the main roads out of town. More recently, new builds and detached houses have been added on the outskirts and in neighbourhoods such as Las Casas.
In the old town, look at the roof and eaves, the timber beams and any marks at the base of the stone walls, where rising damp is common. In mid-20th-century blocks, ask for the building assessment report (IEE), find out about any approved communal works and check whether there is a lift. With long, cold winters, insulation, windows and heating make a big difference to comfort and bills: check the energy rating too.
Casco Histórico — Stone houses and buildings with timber structures; check roofs, eaves, beams and rising damp in the ground-floor walls.
Los Pajaritos — Neighbourhood of mid-20th-century blocks of flats; check façades, services, the lift and whether the owners’ association has pending or approved works.
Las Casas — Outlying neighbourhood with traditional and detached houses; check roofs, insulation, windows and doors, drainage and the condition of walls and plot.
