End-of-terrace houses for sale in Hilvarenbeek

End-of-terrace houses in a village that consciously guards its character

Hilvarenbeek is not a growth centre. The village in the Brabant Kempen has deliberately chosen limited expansion, which means the housing supply remains scarce and end-of-terrace houses rarely stay on the market for long. Anyone looking for an end-of-terrace house here quickly notices that the market is buyer-dominated: rental properties are few and far between, and buyers compete with each other. Current numbers and prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

End-of-terrace houses in Hilvarenbeek are suitable for buyers who appreciate space and fresh air but do not necessarily need a detached house. The combination of an extra side facade, usually a larger garden and more light makes this type popular with families and people moving up from an apartment.

What makes buying an end-of-terrace house different

Buying an end-of-terrace house is not the same as buying a mid-terrace house. A number of points to consider specific to this type:

• Two facades, two maintenance obligations. The side facade is entirely yours. That means painting, insulation and any damp issues are your responsibility, not that of a homeowners' association.
• Boundary and easements. Check the purchase agreement whether neighbours have a right of way along the side. This is more common with end-of-terrace houses than with mid-terrace houses.
• Foundation of the side facade. Have a structural survey carried out that explicitly includes the side facade. Cracks or damp penetration occur more often here than with mid-terrace houses.
• Insurance. The rebuilding value of an end-of-terrace house is higher due to the larger facade area. Check that your buildings insurance correctly reflects this.
• Garden facing north or south? With end-of-terrace houses, the orientation of the side and back garden varies greatly per plot. Check the sun position before making an offer.
• Speed of response. In Hilvarenbeek, new listings go quickly. Set up a search and use the free Buurtje.nl app to receive a push notification immediately when a new end-of-terrace house appears. The app is available via the App Store and Google Play, and is completely free.
• Parking on own land. Many end-of-terrace houses have space for a driveway along the side. Check the zoning plan whether this is permitted or can be permitted.

Price level: upper middle segment with little negotiation

End-of-terrace houses in Hilvarenbeek fall into the upper middle segment. They are generally offered at a higher price than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street, due to the extra plot and extra facade. Factors that push the price up further:

• Location in the village centre versus the outer edge.
• Presence of a garage or driveway.
• Energy label. Homes with label A or B are demonstrably valued higher in Hilvarenbeek.
• Condition of the side facade and roof. A recently renovated side facade reduces the room for negotiation.

Expect little room below the asking price. The market is tight and sellers know it. Check current asking prices and recent transactions in the overview at the top of this page.
