End-of-terrace houses for sale in Delft
End-of-terrace houses in Delft are scarce in an already tight housing market. On this page you will find current listings, neighbourhood tips and practical buying information.
Delft buys little, but those who search need to be quick
Delft has traditionally been a city of renters. The university, research institutions and compact city centre attract tenants, meaning the owner-occupied segment remains relatively small. This is doubly true for corner houses: supply is limited, demand is always there. Anyone seriously looking for a home for sale in Delft quickly notices that corner houses rarely stay online for long.
Corner houses in Delft are predominantly in the higher segment. This has to do with the city itself: little new construction, many protected cityscapes and a large group of dual-income earners who know exactly what they want. Supply varies, but pressure is structural. Current numbers and price movements can be seen in the overview at the top of this page.
This type of home attracts a diverse range of buyers: families who want to live outside without leaving the city, but also first-time buyers who consciously choose more outdoor space and light. A corner house offers that, but also requires specific attention when purchasing.
What you need to know before buying a corner house in Delft
- Side wall and property boundary. Corner houses border two streets or public areas. Check the cadastral situation: who is responsible for the side wall, and are there easements established (e.g., right of way or a neighbour's right of access)?
- Parking on own land. Some Delft corner houses have a driveway or garage on the side. Check whether that driveway is permitted and whether the access legally belongs to the property. Not everything that has been there for years is formally arranged.
- Insulation of the side wall. An extra external wall means more heat loss. Have this included in the structural survey, especially for older homes from the reconstruction period or the 1970s.
- Homeowners' association (VvE) for corner houses in a row. Is the corner house in a block with an active VvE? Request the minutes and the reserve fund statement. A dormant VvE with deferred maintenance is a risk you bear yourself as a corner house resident.
- Bidding strategy. Corner houses in Delft are often sold through bidding procedures without public bidding. Always ask the estate agent about the procedure and set a hard deadline for yourself.
- Enable push notifications. The free Buurtje.nl app sends a notification as soon as new listings appear that match your filters. Download the app via the App Store or Google Play. Free, and you'll be there sooner than if you manually search daily.
- Financing limit for small homes. Banks scrutinise homes under 40 m². Corner houses are usually well above that, but check the living area in the sales information and compare it with the NEN 2580 measurement in the appraisal report.
What determines the price of a corner house in Delft?
Buying corner houses in Delft is done in the higher segment of the Delft owner-occupied market. This applies to almost all property types here, but corner houses command a premium due to the larger plot, extra daylight and the possibility of a side entrance or extension.
Factors that push the price up:
- Location on a quiet street rather than a through road
- Presence of a driveway, garage or carport on the side
- Energy label (A or B gives noticeable advantage in financing)
- Extension possibilities (side extension, roof extension) that are more often feasible with corner houses
- Proximity to a train station (Delft has two)
Factors that push the price down: location on a busy intersection, noise pollution from nearby infrastructure, or a dated state of maintenance. Current price ratios can be found in the overview at the top.
Neighbourhoods where buying corner houses in Delft is most common
Not every Delft neighbourhood has as many owner-occupied homes or corner houses. These are the most suitable neighbourhoods, based on resident ratings and type of construction:
- Vrijenban (8.2/10): Quiet residential area east of the centre. Many post-war terraced houses and detached homes, relatively many corner houses in the owner-occupied sector.
- Tanthof-Oost (8.1/10): Green 1980s neighbourhood with spacious plots. Families appreciate the tranquillity and nearby schools. Corner houses here often have a large garden.
- Wippolder (7.7/10): Varied construction, well connected towards The Hague. Attractive for commuters who want to live in Delft.
- Hof van Delft (7.6/10): Newer residential area with a mix of property types. Corner houses here are often more recently built and more energy-efficient.
- Binnenstad (7.9/10): Limited owner-occupied supply, but whoever finds a corner house here has a rare combination of city life and private outdoor space. Listed building status often plays a role here.

Looking further afield? Rotterdam is just around the corner
The Delft owner-occupied market is tight. If you are flexible on location, it is worth also looking at corner houses in Rotterdam. Rotterdam has a larger and more varied supply, with neighbourhoods that differ greatly in price and character. Travel time to Delft is short by train. For those whose goal is to buy a corner house and are less tied to the Delft postcode, that can offer a solution. Whether you prefer to search in Delft itself is also understandable. But it is good to know the option exists.

What legal aspects should I consider for a corner house?
Check the cadastral boundaries on the side of the property: are there any easements established, such as a right of way? Also check whether any driveway or exit is formally permitted and whether the side wall legally belongs to your property. Have this included in the structural survey.

Vrijenban (8.2/10) and Tanthof-Oost (8.1/10) have relatively many owner-occupied homes and corner houses in the building structure. Wippolder and Hof van Delft are also worth considering. The city centre has limited supply, but if you find something there, it offers a special position.
Is parking arranged for a corner house in Delft?
This varies greatly by neighbourhood. In older neighbourhoods, paid parking or a permit zone applies. Corner houses sometimes have a driveway on the side, but always check whether it is permitted and whether a right of exit exists. In newer neighbourhoods like Hof van Delft, private parking space is more often included as standard.

Auto-translated to English by AINo sense of community, little contact, also some loitering youths, a lot of litter in the area.. I often clean up rubbish but the next day it's all over the ground again.. experienced a burglary at the neighbours' in broad daylight.. that does create a feeling of insecurity.. In addition, I sometimes have trouble with men following me.. and fireworks are set off all year round, also randomly at 3am.. There are 2 nice playgrounds in the neighbourhood but I often don't find them safe for children because there is too much litter.. think lots of cigarette butts and glass and many other things.. but it's nice that the facility is there
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is often dirty, there is a lot of rubbish in my street next to the container, that is the only bad thing, that's why we get vermin in the street, mice, rats for example
Auto-translated to English by AII get along well with the people
Auto-translated to English by AIno negative experiences
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a pleasant, accessible environment. There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable. However, there is often litter on the street and we have occasionally had mice in the neighbourhood as a result. Placing more bins could possibly prevent this. However, there are very few houses available and everything is unaffordable. Housing could therefore be better.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a fine neighbourhood, except that I sometimes feel unsafe when I cycle late in the evening. Other than that, I never really have trouble with people. The neighbourhood could be a bit greener in my opinion, but well, it's mostly flats and they're not that pretty.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood atmosphere, nice people
