Semi-detached houses for sale in Den Haag

The Hague: a city where semi-detached houses are scarce but sought after

The Hague is not a city where semi-detached houses are found on every street corner. The housing stock largely consists of terraced houses and apartments. This is precisely why this type of home attracts a specific audience: families who want more space than a mid-terrace house offers, but are not ready to take the step to a detached house. The supply is in the higher price segment, and competition is correspondingly fierce. Anyone actively looking to buy a semi-detached house in The Hague quickly realises that responses need to be fast and targeted.

What you need to know before making an offer

Semi-detached houses have a number of specific points of attention that are less relevant for other types of homes. Keep the following in mind:

• Shared wall and foundation. You share structural elements with the neighbours. Always have a structural survey carried out that explicitly addresses the party wall and the foundation on both sides.
• Easements and joint ownership. Check the deed for agreements about the shared roof, boundary demarcation, or maintenance of the common facade. This is not always mentioned in the listing.
• Extension possibilities. A side extension or roof extension is popular with this type, but requires permits and sometimes the neighbour's consent. Check with the municipality before buying.
• Financing under 40 m². Not relevant for this type, but be aware that banks are stricter with smaller homes. For a semi-detached house, this usually does not apply, but always check that the floor area is correctly registered with the Land Registry.
• Response speed. In The Hague, popular semi-detached houses sell quickly. Ensure your mortgage offer is up to date and that your financial reservation is realistically set, otherwise you will lose out if there are multiple bidders.
• Use the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends push notifications as soon as new homes become available that match your search criteria. Download the app via the App Store or Google Play. In a tight market, every minute counts.
• Parking situation per neighbourhood. Some neighbourhoods in The Hague have paid parking or a permit system. A semi-detached house sometimes has a driveway, but check whether a second car can also be parked.

Price level: what determines the asking price in The Hague?

Semi-detached houses in The Hague fall into the higher segment of the owner-occupied market. That is no surprise for a large city with a tight housing market. But within that segment, there are clear factors that push the price up or down:

• Location relative to the beach. Homes in the coastal strip (Kijkduin, Belgisch Park) are consistently priced higher than comparable homes further from the sea.
• State of maintenance and energy label. A low energy label depresses the price, but can also offer room for negotiation if you are willing to make sustainability improvements.
• Presence of a garage or driveway. In The Hague, this is not a given and noticeably increases the value.
• South- or west-facing garden. Buyers pay extra for a well-oriented garden, especially in neighbourhoods where outdoor space is scarce.

Looking further: semi-detached houses outside The Hague

The supply of semi-detached houses in The Hague is limited and competition is fierce. If you want more choice or a lower price level, you can also look outside the city. Goeree-Overflakkee offers a different type of living environment: more spacious, quieter, and with a clearly lower price level than the The Hague market. Commuting to The Hague is feasible from this area, but expect longer travel times. It is a trade-off between space and accessibility that works out differently for each family.
