End-of-terrace houses in Hengelo: what defines the supply
Hengelo is not a city where you can wait indefinitely. The housing market is balanced but certainly not spacious, and end-of-terrace houses are a popular type: more glass, a side entrance, often a larger garden on the corner of the plot. That is precisely why they sell quickly. The supply changes constantly, so check all homes for sale in Hengelo for the current situation.
End-of-terrace houses in Hengelo are spread across the city, from post-war expansion neighbourhoods to newer residential areas on the outskirts. They are suitable for buyers seeking space and light, but also for people who want their own driveway or extra parking space. The type attracts families, but also first-time buyers who want to take a step up from a mid-terrace house.
What to look out for when buying an end-of-terrace house in Hengelo
- Side wall insulation: End-of-terrace houses have an extra external wall. Always ask for the energy label and check whether the cavity wall is filled. A poorly insulated side wall will significantly increase your energy bill.
- Property boundary and fence: With end-of-terrace houses, the plot boundary on the side is sometimes unclear. Have the cadastral map checked before you make an offer, especially if there is already a fence that is not on the boundary.
- Right of way and easements: Some corner plots in older Hengelo neighbourhoods have a right of way for neighbours or utilities. This is stated in the deed but is rarely mentioned spontaneously during viewings.
- Traffic and noise pollution: End-of-terrace houses are by definition on two streets. In busy streets in Noord or Berflo Es, this can be noticeable. Walk past the property yourself on a weekday morning.
- Response time: Popular end-of-terrace houses in Hengelo are sometimes online for only a few days. Turn on push notifications via the free Buurtje.nl app in the App Store or via Google Play. You will then receive an immediate notification as soon as a new property matching your filters appears. The app is free.
- Financing the side wall: Banks also look at the condition of the outer shell for end-of-terrace houses. A neglected side wall can deter appraisers and complicate the mortgage. Have this included in a structural survey.
- Parking on private property: Many Hengelo end-of-terrace houses have space for a driveway on the side. Check whether this has already been permitted or whether a driveway permit still needs to be applied for from the municipality.
What determines the price of an end-of-terrace house in Hengelo
End-of-terrace houses in Hengelo generally fall into the mid-range segment. They cost more than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street, but less than detached houses. The exact prices vary; see the overview at the top of this page for the current situation.
Factors that push the price up:
- Location in a neighbourhood with a high resident score
- Presence of a driveway or garage
- Energy label A or B (increasingly weighted)
- Corner position with a sunny side or back garden
- Proximity to schools, green spaces and main roads towards Enschede
Factors that push the price down: deferred maintenance on the side wall, a busy junction, or an outdated energy label.
Neighbourhoods in Hengelo worth considering
Not every neighbourhood has as many end-of-terrace houses for sale, but these are the neighbourhoods where residents are consistently satisfied:
- Buitengebied (10.0/10): Quiet, green, little traffic. Houses here are rarely for sale and sell quickly.
- Hasseler Es (8.6/10): Quiet residential area on the east side of Hengelo. Family-friendly, with many post-war terraced houses, including regular end-of-terrace houses.
- Woolde (8.4/10): Green and relatively spacious. Popular with people who want space without leaving the city.
- Wilderinkshoek (8.1/10): Varied supply, good accessibility. Also check the reviews and neighbourhood data of Hengelo for a complete picture per neighbourhood.
- Slangenbeek (7.8/10): Somewhat more affordable, but still well-rated by residents. May be interesting if the aforementioned neighbourhoods are out of budget.
Also look across the border: Enschede
If the supply in Hengelo is limited, Enschede is the logical next step. The city is directly adjacent to Hengelo and has a larger supply. Check end-of-terrace houses for sale in Enschede as an alternative. Keep in mind that the price levels and neighbourhood dynamics differ from Hengelo, but the distance between the two cities is small enough for daily commuting.
If you still want to search specifically in Hengelo but are flexible in housing type, it is also worth looking at end-of-terrace houses for rent in Hengelo as a temporary option while waiting for the right property to buy.

What legal aspects should I pay attention to with a corner house?
With a corner house, specifically pay attention to easements such as a right of way, the cadastral parcel boundary on the side, and any permits for a driveway. These are stated in the purchase agreement and the cadastral extract, but are not always spontaneously discussed during viewings. Always have this checked by a buying agent or notary.
In which neighbourhoods in Hengelo are the most corner houses for sale?
Corner houses are spread throughout the city. Popular and highly rated neighbourhoods are Hasseler Es (8.6/10), Woolde (8.4/10) and Wilderinkshoek (8.1/10).

Is parking a benefit with a corner house in Hengelo?
Often yes. Many corner houses in Hengelo have space for a driveway on the side of the house. That is a practical advantage in neighbourhoods where parking pressure on the street is high. However, check whether a potential driveway already has a permit, or whether you still need to apply for a driveway permit from the municipality of Hengelo. That takes time and is not always certain.
For me, it's very nice to live in.

Auto-translated to English by AIA snug rural area, despite being close to the motorway, almost never bothered by the noise. Lots of nature and wildlife around us. And friendly neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur street was once a beautiful street. But ruined completely by certain people. And you don't get any help. Such a shame. The neighbourhood is also not well maintained by the municipality; nowadays this is only for the better neighbourhoods where people with money live. And the housing association washes its hands of many things. The ordinary person can only get flats anymore. Where has our Hengelo gone, where I always lived so happily! What could be improved is the rubbish situation, that houses are better maintained, overall maintenance of streets, etc. And that there aren't deep trenches next to streets, life-threatening. Even if you call them, they change nothing. Fences around playgrounds, making unsafe streets safe again. And that they don't charge mega rent prices for small old houses and that new houses are also built for social renters. And that the municipality and police really intervene when necessary. But something has to happen first. Sad, all of it! Such a shame!

Auto-translated to English by AIpretty good, you know
Auto-translated to English by AInormal neighbourhood but very dependent on exactly where you are. the closer to the railway, the worse it gets. waste nuisance around the Aldi is excessive and really needs attention. speeding on the Mozartlaan, Paganinistraat, Oude Postweg, Jozef Haydnlaan is also significant. speeding is too easy and it's unclear what the maximum speed is. small gardens and green strips also need attention. where the streets are swept regularly (plus point), the gardens are maintained once a year. I feel safe enough, although it's not always great, loud foreign voices, groups of men and overdue maintenance on sometimes entire blocks.
