End-of-terrace houses for sale in Amersfoort

Amersfoort and end-of-terrace houses: what you can expect

Amersfoort is not a city where you can sit back and wait as a buyer. The housing market is active, supply varies, and end-of-terrace houses are a specific segment that disappears quickly. There's a reason for that: an end-of-terrace house offers side windows, a wider facade, and often a larger plot. This appeals to families, but also to buyers who work from home or simply want more light.

The supply of end-of-terrace houses in Amersfoort is in the upper mid-range. New-build neighbourhoods like Vathorst have relatively many end-of-terrace houses, but you also regularly come across them in older neighbourhoods like Randenbroek and De Berg-Zuid. Check all homes for sale in Amersfoort for the current overview at the top of this page.

Who is an end-of-terrace house in Amersfoort suitable for? Mainly for movers with a solid budget, couples with children looking for space, and buyers who want to combine a south- or west-facing garden with a central location.

What makes buying an end-of-terrace house different

Buying an end-of-terrace house is different from buying a mid-terrace house. A few things that deserve specific attention:

• Boundaries and easements. End-of-terrace houses border two public sides. Check the purchase agreement and the land registry for any easements, such as a right of way for neighbours or the municipality.
• Side facade and maintenance. The side facade is more often exposed to wind and rain. Have a structural survey carried out that explicitly includes the side facade and the roof edge.
• Storage or extension on the side plot. Many end-of-terrace houses have a storage shed or carport on the side plot. Check whether these have planning permission. Unauthorised structures can cause problems when selling or renovating.
• Homeowners' association (VvE) for apartment-like end-of-terrace houses. In some new-build complexes in Vathorst, an end-of-terrace house falls under a VvE. Check the deed of division and the reserves.
• Financing for small floor areas. Banks are strict with homes under 40m². End-of-terrace houses are generally more spacious, but compact end-of-terrace houses in older neighbourhoods can be borderline cases.
• Speed of response. End-of-terrace houses in Amersfoort rarely stay online for long. Turn on push notifications via the free Buurtje.nl app in the App Store or via Google Play, so you get an immediate alert when new properties come on the market. The app is completely free.
• Parking on private property. An end-of-terrace house sometimes has space for a driveway. Check whether the driveway requires a permit and whether the municipality grants permission for an entrance on the side street.

Price level: what determines the price of an end-of-terrace house in Amersfoort

End-of-terrace houses in Amersfoort generally fall into the upper mid-range. Exact prices change quickly; the overview at the top of this page shows the current picture.

Factors that drive the price up:

• Location in a popular neighbourhood with high resident scores (Vathorst-De Laak, Hoogland).
• Presence of a driveway, garage, or double parking space on private property.
• Side garden facing south or west.
• New-build quality or recently renovated condition.
• Proximity to schools, NS station, or main roads towards Utrecht and Amsterdam.

Factors that lower the price: older condition of the side facade, no parking on private property, or location on a busy through road.

Neighbourhoods in Amersfoort for buying an end-of-terrace house

Not every neighbourhood has as many end-of-terrace houses, and not every neighbourhood suits every buyer. Below is a selection based on resident scores and character:

• Vathorst-De Laak (9.8/10): The highest-scoring neighbourhood in Amersfoort. Lots of new-build, spacious plots, relatively many end-of-terrace houses in the street profiles. Family-friendly, with green spaces and water nearby.
• Hoogland (9.5/10): Village character on the north side of Amersfoort. Quiet, green surroundings; buyers looking for a bit more distance from the city will do well here.
• Rustenburg (9.5/10): Established residential area with a mix of construction periods. End-of-terrace houses are less numerous here but are well occupied by families.
• Randenbroek (8.9/10): Close to the centre and Randenbroek Park. Attractive for buyers who want to combine urban proximity with a quiet street.
• De Berg-Zuid (8.6/10): Characterful neighbourhood with older buildings. End-of-terrace houses here sometimes have more character but also more maintenance issues. Check the neighbourhood data and reviews of Amersfoort for a complete picture per neighbourhood.
