Lochem: a buyer's market where terraced houses take centre stage
Lochem is not a city where you can wait indefinitely. The supply of homes for sale is limited, the municipality is buyer-dominated, and terraced houses are the most common type of home in the town centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. If you want to buy a terraced house in this region, you'll be dealing with a market that moves quickly and leaves little room for hesitation.
Terraced houses in Lochem are firmly in the mid-range segment. They attract first-time buyers ready for their first home, as well as movers who consciously choose a manageable home in a quiet municipality. The supply changes regularly. Check the overview at the top of this page for the most up-to-date situation.
What determines the price of a terraced house here
Mentioning specific amounts is pointless on a page that isn't updated daily. What is stable: the factors that push the price of a terraced house in Lochem up or down.
- Location relative to the town centre. Homes close to the centre of Lochem or near amenities such as schools and shops are valued higher.
- Year of construction and state of maintenance. Older homes from the 1960s-80s sometimes require extra investment, particularly in insulation and installations.
- Energy label. A low energy label reduces the asking price but increases your monthly costs. Banks increasingly take this into account when assessing mortgages.
- Plot size and extension possibilities. A terraced house with expansion potential (side extension, roof extension) attracts more bidders.
- Parking facilities. In the town centre, parking is sometimes limited. A private driveway or garage counts in the valuation.

Five practical tips for those looking for a terraced house in Lochem
- Set up a search alert and respond quickly. Homes in Lochem rarely stay online for long. If you wait a day, you'll miss the viewing.
- Use the free Buurtje.nl app. The app sends push notifications as soon as new listings become available. Free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
- Check the HOA situation. Terraced houses in rows sometimes have an informal or dormant HOA. Always ask about the legal status and maintenance reserve, even if there appears to be no active HOA.
- Watch out for easements. With terraced houses, agreements about shared paths, fences or pipes are common. Have this investigated by a buying agent or notary before you make an offer.
- Ask about the foundation. In the Achterhoek region, older homes are sometimes built on wooden piles. Have a structural survey carried out, even if the home looks good.
- Be prepared to overbid. In a tight market like Lochem, the asking price is rarely the final price. Set a maximum in advance and stick to it.
- Also compare supply in the region. If you're flexible, you can also look at terraced houses in Arnhem for a wider selection.

Alternatives if the supply in Lochem disappoints
The supply of terraced houses in Lochem is limited. If you don't want to wait too long, it's wise to broaden your search. A logical step is to look at the supply of terraced houses in Arnhem, a larger city with more turnover and a wider price range. Even if you ultimately want to live in Lochem, a broader search area gives you insight into what you can buy elsewhere for the same budget.

Frequently asked questions
What does a terraced house in Lochem cost?
We do not mention specific prices because they become outdated quickly. Terraced houses in Lochem are in the mid-range segment. Factors such as energy label, construction year, location and state of maintenance determine the final price. Check the overview at the top of this page for current asking prices.
How do I quickly find a terraced house in Lochem?
Supply in Lochem is limited and houses disappear quickly. Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The app sends a push notification as soon as new listings appear that match your search criteria. Free, no subscription required.
What legal aspects should I consider for a terraced house?
Always check whether a Homeowners' Association (VvE) is active, even for terraced houses. A dormant or informal VvE can lead to uncertainty about maintenance of shared elements such as roofs or facades. Also ask about easements: agreements regarding paths, fences or pipes on the property. Have this checked by a buying agent or notary.
Which neighbourhood in Lochem has the highest resident satisfaction?
Gorssel scores highest with a resident rating of 7.8/10. It is a quiet village within the municipality of Lochem, popular with families. The Lochem town centre scores 7.0/10 and offers most amenities within walking distance. The rural area scores 6.4/10 and is suitable for those who prefer peace and space over accessibility.
Is there sufficient parking for terraced houses in Lochem?
In the Lochem town centre, parking can be limited, especially for older terraced houses without a private driveway. During viewings, it is wise to check the parking situation at different times of the day. A private driveway or garage increases the value of the house and prevents daily parking stress.
Many unfriendly, gloomy elderly people who call the shots
Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally good contact.
Auto-translated to English by AILittle sociability!
Auto-translated to English by AIMany elderly people live here, and as a family with children, that can sometimes be lonely. However, there are all kinds of nice, friendly people in the neighborhood. People who live here don't do crazy things; it's just safe despite the lack of lampposts. Hygiene is also fine; few people throw trash on the street here, although that happens a lot on the Deventerweg.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, never any problems, people often help each other, there are quite a few playgrounds in the village, there are nice meadows and beautiful houses, it is clean and otherwise safe, except for the asylum centre further down which sometimes causes problems. All in all, a nice neighbourhood with almost never any problems.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a perfectly quiet neighbourhood to live in, just outside the city of Lochem but you're there in no time. Lots of farms but also plenty of peace and quiet. In summer, only the fertilisation of the land is a nuisance. Otherwise, a fine area to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood with nice people, the facilities that are there are all easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here in the municipality of Lochem. Eefde is beautiful. The nature is abundant and (often) it is just left to its own devices. There are about 2 or 3 secondary schools relatively nearby and several primary schools. The community sometimes leaves something to be desired. People live here quite isolated; I don't know the names of some of my neighbours, or they have moved without you really noticing. The roads around us are intense; there is a provincial road running right through where I live, but it is what it is. And because of that road, we at least have a bus connection. However, the bus is not accessible (in the disabled sense). As soon as you have trouble walking, you can only take the bus in one of the two directions. This means you can only go to Deventer and only return here from Zutphen. The other side is not paved and not even maintained. This means you have to walk through tall grass on uneven ground. Barely doable with a crutch, and completely not (as in, really just Not.) doable in a wheelchair.
