End-of-terrace houses for sale in Laarbeek

End-terrace houses in a municipality where the neighbourhood is still truly a neighbourhood

Laarbeek is not your average Brabant commuter municipality. The four villages, Beek en Donk, Aarle-Rixtel, Lieshout and Mariahout, each have their own character, but share one thing: a buyer's market firmly in the hands of owner-occupiers. Rental properties are scarce here, and you notice that in the competition as soon as an end-terrace house becomes available.

End-terrace houses in Laarbeek are popular for practical reasons. An extra side wall means more light, a private driveway is more often possible, and the garden is usually more spacious than with a mid-terrace house. This makes them sought after by families who want to live outdoors, but also by people who want to create a home office. View the current supply via all homes for sale in Laarbeek.

What makes an end-terrace house different here than elsewhere

In a small municipality like Laarbeek, end-terrace houses are by definition scarce. They are scattered across residential streets that are not being further developed, which means new supply comes slowly. Those who wait for the perfect moment, wait a long time.

A number of things that specifically apply to this type of home in this market:

• Boundary and side wall. With end-terrace houses, the side wall sometimes borders public land or an alley. Check the purchase agreement who is responsible for maintenance of that side, including any fences or planting.
• Side extension. Many buyers want to extend later. An end-terrace house offers that space, but check the zoning plan. Not every municipality allows a side extension, even if the land is yours.
• Buildings insurance. End-terrace houses have more wall surface and are exposed to more wind and moisture. Insurers sometimes take this into account. Ask about this before you make an offer.
• Energy label and side wall insulation. Two external walls instead of one means more heat loss if the insulation is not up to standard. Have this included in the structural survey.
• Parking on own land. One of the major advantages of an end-terrace house. Check whether the driveway is legally recorded as private land or whether a tolerance arrangement applies.
• Respond quickly. End-terrace houses in Laarbeek are rarely on the market for long. Set up search alerts. The free Buurtje.nl app (App Store) or via Google Play sends you a push notification as soon as new supply appears. Free to download, no subscription.
• Financing and WOZ value. End-terrace houses are usually valued slightly higher by appraisers than comparable mid-terrace houses. That is favourable for your mortgage, but also means a higher WOZ value and therefore higher municipal charges.

Price level: upper middle segment, with variation per village

Buying an end-terrace house in Laarbeek takes place in the upper middle segment. This is due to the popularity of the type, the buyer-dominated market and the limited turnover. Current price indications can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Factors influencing the price:

• Location on a through road or in a residential street with no through traffic.
• Presence of a garage or carport on own land.
• Energy label. A poor label depresses the asking price, but can also create financing hurdles with the bank.
• Year of construction. Older end-terrace houses sometimes have charming details, but require more maintenance on the extra wall.
• Plot size on the side. More land means more possibilities, and that is taken into account in the valuation.
