Terraced houses in Meppel: what you need to know beforehand
Meppel is not a city where you can wait indefinitely. The supply of terraced houses changes regularly, but is limited at any given time. The city attracts buyers who consciously choose a small-scale environment with good connections to Zwolle and Groningen, without the prices of a big city. This makes the market for terraced houses in Meppel attractive, but also competitive. Those who search actively have a head start.
Terraced houses are the most common type of owner-occupied home in Meppel's older residential areas. They are suitable for starters with a solid income, movers who want space without the costs of a detached house, and people who consciously choose a neighbourhood with neighbours on both sides. For the current supply and most recent prices, see the overview at the top of this page.
What to look for in a terraced house, specifically in Meppel
- Year of construction matters a lot. Many terraced houses in Meppel date from the 1960s to the 1980s. Pay attention to the condition of the foundation, roof and insulation. A structural survey is no luxury for this age.
- Shared walls, shared responsibility. Always ask about agreements regarding the party walls. Have there been any disputes in the past? Is there a neighbour agreement about renovations?
- Ground lease is rare in Meppel, but check it anyway. For older plots, it is wise to verify the ownership situation of the land via the purchase deed.
- Energy label affects your mortgage. A poor label (E, F or G) can impact your maximum borrowing amount with some lenders. Check this with your mortgage advisor before making an offer.
- Parking varies greatly per neighbourhood. In the centre, parking space is limited and sometimes paid. In the newer suburbs, there is usually more space on private property or on the street. Check this before your viewing.
- Respond quickly. Terraced houses in the mid-range segment are rarely listed for long in Meppel. Make sure your financing is largely in place before you actively search, so you can make an offer immediately.
- Use the free Buurtje.nl app. You will receive a push notification as soon as a new terraced house becomes available that meets your criteria. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
What determines the price of a terraced house in Meppel?
Terraced houses in Meppel fall into the mid-range of the Drenthe owner-occupied market. They are relatively affordable compared to terraced houses in larger cities in the region, but prices vary depending on a number of concrete factors.
- Location within the neighbourhood. A terraced house on a quiet street in a sought-after neighbourhood commands a higher price than a similar house on a busy road.
- State of maintenance and energy label. Well-insulated homes with a green label are priced higher and sell faster.
- Extension or extra space. A rear extension or an attic converted into a bedroom noticeably increases the asking price.
- South-facing garden. The orientation of the garden plays a role in valuation, especially in a market where buyers are selective.

On the row where I live, there is a cosy side of the street; every summer we sit outside together.

Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is very observant... still a young people's neighbourhood with many differences of opinion. The playground that is surrounded by watchful eyes and also when there is a bike four-day event, for example...
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is that there is plenty to do and in the summer they always have a fair with a performance, and my neighbours are always there for me.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with nice people. Plenty of facilities and educational locations.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 2 years now and all in all I'm satisfied. Of course, I sometimes see young guys on the street shouting hot-headedly and pushing/shoving each other, but that's part of it. Furthermore, I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine! The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything, except for the fact that there is no Chinese restaurant that delivers food, but that might be very specific of me. For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is. Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog. In terms of hygiene, I find it quite substandard. People leave dog poop lying around, there is often vomit on the street from people who have been out and about, and a lot of litter and food scraps. This surprises me in a negative way and I find it a great pity. This is the only downside; otherwise, I am very happy and satisfied with both my place and the environment!
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a nice neighbourhood of our city. Have nice neighbours. But last Saturday we found out that our neighbour across the street had been lying dead in his house for 2.5 weeks, so there isn't much social contact. Hopefully more in 2025. Because I was really shocked by it.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, not very social; everyone has and does their own thing and it doesn't get any more exciting than that. There's enough education in the area, enough green space but could be better maintained!
