End-of-terrace houses for sale in Maashorst

End-of-terrace houses in Maashorst: what you need to know beforehand

Maashorst is a relatively young municipality, formed from the merger of Uden and Landerd. This means the housing stock here is a mix of post-war expansion neighbourhoods, 1990s developments, and more recent new-build on the edges of towns like Uden and Zeeland. End-of-terrace houses are popular in such municipalities, precisely because in terraced housing estates they are the only way to gain some side space. Supply is limited and demand is high.

Anyone considering buying an end-of-terrace house in Maashorst quickly notices that this type of house is snapped up faster than a mid-terrace property. This is due to the combination of a side door, extra garden, and the possibility of a driveway. Current numbers and price trends can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Why an end-of-terrace house in Maashorst is different from elsewhere

In a medium-sized municipality like Maashorst, the car plays a bigger role than in a city. A driveway or carport on the side is not a luxury here; for many buyers it is a basic requirement. End-of-terrace houses offer this option, but note: not every end-of-terrace house has planning permission for a driveway. Always check this in the zoning plan or via the municipality.

Other points to consider that specifically apply to this type of house:

• The side wall is often the least insulated wall. Ask about the energy label and the condition of the cavity wall.
• End-of-terrace houses have more wall surface area. This means more maintenance and higher heating costs if the insulation is not up to standard.
• The side strip of land is sometimes municipal land that is leased, not owned. Check the cadastral map.
• Boundary fences on the side are often a source of neighbour disputes. Ask the seller about any agreements.
• End-of-terrace houses sometimes fall into a slightly higher WOZ category due to the extra plot area. This has implications for municipal taxes.

Practical tips for buying an end-of-terrace house in Maashorst

• Set up a search alert before you actively start looking. End-of-terrace houses in Maashorst rarely come on the market. If you wait until you see something on Funda, you are often too late. Set up an alert so you get notified immediately.
• Use the free Buurtje.nl app. The app sends you a push notification as soon as a new property that meets your search criteria becomes available. Free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
• Engage a buying agent who knows the region. In a tight market, local knowledge is more valuable than elsewhere. An agent who knows Maashorst will know which streets are more sought-after and what a realistic bid is.
• Arrange your financing before you go to viewings. In the upper mid-range, where end-of-terrace houses in Maashorst typically fall, having a mortgage certificate at hand is a condition for being taken seriously.
• Have the foundation inspected for older houses. Parts of Maashorst are built on sandy soil. This is generally stable, but for houses from the 1950s and 1960s, a structural survey is not an unnecessary luxury.
• Check the parking situation on the corner itself. End-of-terrace houses border a side street. Depending on the location, this could mean that visitors have difficulty parking, or that there is a parking ban right in front of the driveway.
• Ask about the homeowners' association if there are split plots or shared driveways. This is less common for end-of-terrace houses than for apartments, but it does exist.

Price level and what determines the price

End-of-terrace houses in Maashorst are in the upper mid-range. They are generally offered at a higher price than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street, due to the extra plot and additional usage possibilities. Current prices and the current supply can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Factors influencing the price:

• Presence and condition of a garage or carport on the side
• Energy label (houses with label A or B are valued significantly higher)
• Location relative to the centre of Uden or other amenities
• Size of the side strip and the possibility of building on it
• Year of construction and state of maintenance of the side wall
