Vall d'Hebron in figures, so you know what to ask at the viewing. These are figures for the whole neighbourhood: the flat you're going to see may differ from the average.

What to ask at the viewing
- Whether the bedrooms face the street or the courtyard. At night, street noise here is high.

- What time the sun comes in: at a viewing you only see one hour of the day.
All of this, for your specific flat, in the report.
