The municipality of Oss provides more information about local amenities and accessibility via the website of the municipality of Oss.
For which buyers is Herpen a good choice?
Herpen mainly attracts families and people aged 40 and older who value peace and space over urban convenience. Starters have a hard time here: the average sale price of nearly €657,000 and limited supply make buying in Herpen almost unaffordable for a first home. When purchasing, also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. Those who still want to rent can look at rental homes in Herpen as an alternative. Movers and people who consciously choose the countryside from the city fit best in this village.
