Kaag en Braassem is a municipality where water and ribbon villages determine the structure.

Current numbers and prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
What makes corner houses different in this municipality
A corner house in Kaag en Braassem is rarely a standard terraced house with an extra side window. In the smaller villages, these are often homes at a junction or dead-end street, with a side driveway or extra garden. This attracts a specific type of buyer: families who want outdoor space without taking the step to a detached home, and people who want to park a car or boat on their own property.
Supply changes slowly. Those waiting for the right corner house sometimes wait months. This requires an active strategy, not a passive attitude.
Practical tips for buying a corner house in Kaag en Braassem
- Check the property boundaries carefully. Corner houses border multiple plots. Have the cadastral boundary requested and compare it with the actual situation. Fences, driveways and planting are not always in the right place.
- Pay attention to easements. Neighbours or the municipality may have rights to the side strip, for example for utilities or right of way. This is stated in the deed of ownership, not in the advertisement.
- Ask about the maintenance condition of the side wall. An extra wall means extra maintenance costs. Pointing, painting and insulation work on the side is structurally underestimated for corner houses.
- Check the zoning plan for the side strip. Many buyers want to build a canopy or shed. In Kaag en Braassem, different rules apply per village. Ask about this before making an offer, not after.
- Budget for higher heating costs. Two external walls instead of one. Especially with older homes without cavity wall insulation, this can add up significantly. Request the energy label and, if necessary, have a customised advice report made.
- Set up a sharp search alert and respond quickly. Corner houses in this municipality sell quickly. Use the free App Store or Google Play version of the Buurtje.nl app to receive a push notification as soon as new listings come online. The app is free and sends notifications the moment a home is listed, not just when you log in yourself.
- Check parking rules for the driveway. In some villages, a driveway permit is required. Without this permit, you may not construct or extend the driveway, even if the land is yours.
What determines the price level of a corner house here
Corner houses in Kaag en Braassem fall into the higher purchase segment, certainly compared to similar types in larger cities. Factors that drive up the price: location on the water, presence of a private jetty, extra outdoor space on the side, and the condition of the insulation. Factors that lower the price: location on a through road, limited parking options, or outdated installations.
Banks look at the usable floor area when valuing. Homes under 40 m² are difficult to finance. This rarely applies to corner houses in this municipality, but in small villages, note that outbuildings do not count as living space.

When I moved here, it was a quiet neighbourhood. Now at this moment it's becoming a villa district with many outsiders. These people seek no connection with the neighbourhood. Eccentric and conceited. In the past there were layers of the population, now everyone is equal, often even a step higher. Very unfortunate. Quietly situated at the back of houses. With water at the doorstep. Which according to some posh residents is worth a fortune. I've lived here for 19 years tonight, now I'm 68 years old. No shops, no bus service. You have to do everything by car or bike. The other villages are five kilometres away. 5 km Leimuiden, 5 km Kudelstaart, 8 km from Ter Aar. There could be something better; choose to live rurally. In the very beginning the old guard still lived here, now only people from outside.

Auto-translated to English by AIMost people end up here because they can't find housing in Leiden, Alphen and surrounding areas. But you wouldn't wish this on anyone, no facilities, childcare is full so children go to school in neighbouring municipalities because there is childcare there. You can walk the dog on a strip of verge, nowhere a nice field to be seen let alone a place where they can burn off their energy. Young people have nothing so they regularly vandalise things, every weekend there are fireworks or other nuisance. People are mainly 'bothered' by each other but that's because they are deeply unhappy. The national parking standard is applied in the new housing estates so tough luck if you don't have a space and you'll quickly get a parking ticket. Tyres are slashed, cars scratched and a lot of nuisance from children/young people. Stay away if you can!
