End-of-terrace houses for sale in Bunschoten
Corner houses in Bunschoten are scarce and sell quickly. Here you can read what you need to know before buying a corner house in Bunschoten.
Bunschoten: a buyer's market where corner houses disappear quickly
Bunschoten has traditionally been a municipality where owner-occupied homes set the tone. The housing stock largely consists of ground-floor homes in quiet residential areas, and corner houses are a sought-after category within that. They offer side space, an extra window and sometimes a larger garden, without having to buy a detached house straight away. This makes them attractive for families looking for a bit more space, but also for first-time buyers who quickly move up.
The supply is limited. Corner houses come up less frequently than terraced houses, and in a small municipality like Bunschoten that means: react quickly or miss out. View the current supply and most recent availability at the top of this page.
What you need to know before buying a corner house
Corner houses have specific points of attention that are less relevant for terraced houses. Keep the following in mind:
- Side wall and insulation. An extra external wall means more heat loss. Check the energy label and ask about the insulation values of the side wall. This directly affects your monthly costs.
- Boundary and use of the side strip. Who owns the strip next to the house? Is there an easement established? Have this investigated in the purchase agreement and the land registry before you sign.
- Parking on own land. Many corner houses have the possibility of a driveway. Check whether the zoning plan allows this and whether a driveway has already been constructed. Applying takes time and sometimes money.
- Insurance and liability. The side wall borders public or semi-public space. Check whether your buildings insurance covers this properly, especially if there is a fence or extension on the side.
- Response time in Bunschoten. Houses sell quickly here. Make sure your financing is already in order (mortgage offer or at least an orientation meeting) before you go for a viewing. Without preparation, you will miss out.
- Push notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. Turn on notifications so you know immediately when a new corner house in Bunschoten comes online. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
- Corner houses and Homeowners' Association (VvE). Some corner houses in new-build complexes or renovation projects fall under a Homeowners' Association. Always check this. A VvE entails monthly contributions and obligations.
Price level: corner houses are in the higher segment
Buying a corner house in Bunschoten is not done in the cheap segment. Compared to terraced houses on the same street, corner houses are structurally higher in price, due to the extra land, the side space and the higher demand. Moreover, Bunschoten is one of the more expensive owner-occupied municipalities in the region. This has to do with the location (near Utrecht and Amersfoort), the relatively low turnover and the strong preference for buying over renting in this municipality.
Factors influencing the price of a specific corner house:
- Size and layout of the plot (side strip, back garden)
- Energy label and state of maintenance
- Presence of a driveway or garage
- Location on a busy road or on a quiet path
- Year of construction and type (1970s terraced versus new-build)
