Maashorst is a relatively young municipality, formed from the merger of Uden and Landerd.

It is a municipality where you can find this type of home in the upper mid-range segment. If you are considering buying a semi-detached house, it is a good idea to check the current listings at the top of this page.
What characterises this type of home in Maashorst
Semi-detached houses in Maashorst are generally oriented as semi-detached: a private driveway, a garden on multiple sides, and a garage or carport are common features. The supply is mainly aimed at families and home-movers. First-time buyers are less likely to end up here due to the price level. Seniors looking to downsize are more likely to choose an apartment or terraced house.

What you need to know financially and legally about a semi-detached house
Owning a semi-detached house means you share a party wall with your neighbour. This has implications that buyers sometimes underestimate:
- Party wall ownership: the party wall is often common property. Renovations on or near that wall require the neighbour's consent. Check the deed of ownership for party wall provisions.
- Sound insulation: have this checked by a building surveyor. Older homes from the 1980s rarely meet current standards. Poor insulation is expensive to fix later.
- Property boundary: the boundary between the two plots sometimes differs from what the fence suggests. Request the cadastral data or have it measured.
- Mortgage: banks are strict with homes under 40m². This is rarely an issue with semi-detached houses, but always check the floor area in the sales brochure against a NEN 2580 measurement.
- Homeowners' association (VvE): this type of home usually does not have a VvE, but check this. Some new-build complexes have a VvE for shared facilities such as a communal driveway.
Practical tips for searching for a semi-detached house to buy in Maashorst
- Set up a search on multiple platforms simultaneously. Listings sometimes appear earlier on one channel than another.
- Install the free Buurtje.nl app and enable push notifications. You will then receive an alert as soon as new listings matching your criteria appear. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
- Engage a buying agent who is active in Maashorst. They sometimes have access to homes that have not yet been publicly listed.
- Always ask the selling agent the reason for the sale and how long the neighbours have lived there. With a semi-detached house, the neighbour relationship is more relevant than with a detached home.
- Check the zoning plan for the location. Do you want to extend or add a dormer later? Check whether this can be done without a permit or if restrictions apply.
- Always have a building survey carried out, even on relatively new homes. Pay particular attention to the condition of the party wall, roof and foundations.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe came to live here on 12 July 2035. Nice, friendly people, neighbourhood close to the centre. No unsafe situations. Supermarket with all kinds of products. GP nearby and pharmacy next to it. Plenty of parking. Lots of greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AINot many families with children live here and there are always a lot of cars driving through the street. Our neighbour also often causes nuisance. However, there is a good school in the neighbourhood and a home for the elderly.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a corner house in a new-build neighbourhood. This is supposed to become a 'green' neighbourhood. The houses in my neighbourhood have bird nests built in, as well as bat boxes. All kinds of people live here, contact hasn't grown yet. There are a few who still keep an eye on things, including myself. And help where needed. The neighbourhood is close to the motorway, so it's accessible. Close to 2 primary schools in the neighbouring area. A nice emerging neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is okay in the neighbourhood except for the asylum seekers' centre with people who have been deported.
