The honest note

Beautiful terrace, quiet road. Roof needs roughly €20k of work the seller isn't disclosing. A yes at €465k.

Walked with Andrés, my builder, on the tenth. The building is older than the listing suggests, but looked after — plumbing redone 2018, same administrator since 2015.

Not in the listing: the kitchen extractor isn't to code, and one window frame needs replacing within five years. Together about €2,400.

My read: open at €464k, settle at €469k. Listing's been up nineteen days, nothing comparable on this block has sold below €378k in twelve months. You're not overpaying.
