Bilbao has undergone a spectacular urban transformation. Its housing stock mixes historic buildings in the Ensanche and 1960s–80s blocks in converted industrial areas with new developments along the Ría. 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 Bilbao has its own typical problems. These are the ones we find most in Bilbao:
Damp in the Casco Viejo — the historic buildings have built up decades of leaks.
Aluminosis in industrial-era blocks from 1955–1975 — Bilbao has a high historical incidence.
Corrosion caused by the Cantabrian humidity — it speeds up the deterioration of installations and joinery.
The process in Bilbao is simple and fast.
No small print. No travel costs in Bilbao and the metropolitan area.
