Terraced houses for sale in Best
Looking for a terraced house for sale in Best? The supply is limited and the market moves fast. Here's what you need to know before you search.
Best: a home-owning municipality where terraced houses change hands quickly
Best is wedged between Eindhoven and 's-Hertogenbosch, and you can feel that in the housing market. The municipality attracts people who work in the region but want to live outside the big city. The result: a market dominated by owner-occupied homes with few rental alternatives and a supply of terraced houses that is regularly under pressure. If you are planning to buy a terraced house in Best, it is wise to know the market before you start actively searching.
The supply of terraced houses in Best largely consists of post-war and 1970s terraces, supplemented by newer expansion neighbourhoods. The homes are priced in the upper middle segment. This makes Best attractive for families and dual-income households, but less accessible for first-time buyers without existing equity or additional financing.

What you need to know before making an offer
Terraced houses have specific points of attention that are less relevant for detached homes. Keep the following in mind:
- Shared walls and noise. For older terraces, have the cavity wall insulation inspected. Noise nuisance is the most common cause of disappointment after purchasing a terraced house.
- Easements and party walls. Check the deed for agreements on shared fences, gutters or extensions. In older neighbourhoods in Best, such agreements are not always well documented.
- Extension potential. An extension or dormer window increases the living space, but check with the municipality of Best in advance which permit requirements apply. Not every terrace in a protected street frontage has the same possibilities.
- Homeowners' association (VvE) or not. Terraced houses rarely fall under an active VvE, but always check this. If a VvE is missing while there are shared elements (such as a communal roof in linked construction), the division of maintenance costs is unclear.
- Speed of response matters. In a tight market, popular terraced houses sometimes go into the viewing phase within a day. Ensure your financing is in order and have a buying agent ready. A verbal commitment from the bank is not enough when making an offer subject to financing.
- Stay informed quickly via the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends push notifications as soon as new listings appear that match your search criteria. Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
- A structural survey is not a luxury. Especially for homes from the 1960s and 1970s, hidden defects (asbestos, old leadwork, wood rot in window frames) can significantly affect the price. Have a survey carried out before or during the financing contingency period.
What determines the price of a terraced house in Best?
Best is in the upper middle segment for terraced houses. This has a few concrete causes. The location relative to the A2 motorway and the train station makes the municipality attractive for commuters heading to Eindhoven and Den Bosch. This drives up demand.
Factors that push the price of an individual home up or down:
- Location within the neighbourhood (end-of-terrace position, proximity to park or shopping centre)
- Year of construction and energy label (label A or B commands a higher price than label E or F)
- Presence of extension, dormer window or garage
- State of maintenance and kitchen/bathroom
- Parking on private property
