Terraced houses for sale in Eindhoven

Terraced houses in Eindhoven: what you'll find on the market

Eindhoven is not a city that stands still. The combination of technology companies, international workers and a growing population creates a housing market that is under structural pressure. Terraced houses are a popular category within this: more spacious than an apartment, more affordable than a corner house or detached house, and available in almost all neighbourhoods of the city.

The supply of terraced houses in Eindhoven is in the upper middle segment. This means that as a buyer you need to act quickly and be well prepared. View the current supply and the associated price indications in the overview at the top of this page.

Terraced houses appeal to a wide audience: families looking for space, couples wanting to invest in a permanent home, and dual-income households wanting to live near work. The city offers plenty of variety for this, from post-war terraced houses in older neighbourhoods to new-build rows in expansion areas.

What you need to arrange before making an offer

In a tight market, preparation comes before speed. Anyone serious about buying a terraced house in Eindhoven does the following:

• Mortgage offer in hand. Make sure you have a mortgage statement or indicative offer before scheduling viewings. Sellers and estate agents expect this.
• Include or consciously omit a structural survey. Many bidders waive the survey to be more attractive. Only do this if you can assess the condition of the house well, or accept the risk consciously.
• Pay attention to easements. Terraced houses border two neighbours. Check with the notary whether there are agreements about maintenance of partition walls, gutters or shared paths.
• Ask about the HOA status. Some terraced houses in older blocks have a dormant HOA for the roof or exterior wall. This can mean hidden costs.
• Check parking per neighbourhood. Eindhoven has paid parking in a growing number of streets. Check whether the house has a driveway or whether you depend on a parking permit, and what the waiting time for that is.
• Respond quickly to new listings. Install the free Buurtje.nl app and turn on push notifications so you get an immediate alert when a new terraced house becomes available. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
• Ask about the energy label and insulation. Terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s often still have single glazing or uninsulated cavity walls. This affects both your monthly costs and your financing capacity.

What determines the price of a terraced house in Eindhoven

Terraced houses in Eindhoven fall into the upper middle segment. The exact asking price depends on several factors. Current prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Factors that drive the price up:

• Location close to the city centre or Brainport business parks
• Presence of a driveway or garage (rare for terraced houses)
• Recent renovation, especially kitchen, bathroom and energy-saving measures
• Favourable energy label (A or B)
• Deep garden or extra storage

Factors that push the price down:

• Deferred maintenance, visible or hidden
• Noise pollution from nearby roads or railway lines
• Small living area (banks are strict with homes under 40m², although this is rarely a problem for terraced houses)
• Location in a neighbourhood with a lower resident score
