End-of-terrace houses for sale in Valkenswaard

End-of-terrace houses in Valkenswaard: what you need to know about the market

Valkenswaard is not a large city, but the housing market does not behave like a quiet village. Supply is limited, demand is strong, and end-of-terrace houses are the best example of this. They become available less frequently than mid-terrace houses, and when they appear on Funda, response time is crucial. The overview at the top of this page shows what is currently available.

End-of-terrace houses in Valkenswaard are predominantly in the upper mid-range segment. They are suitable for buyers who want extra outdoor space, a side driveway or more light, and are willing to pay a bit extra for this compared to a similar mid-terrace house. Families, people who work from home and buyers who value parking convenience form the typical target group.

Five things that are different with an end-of-terrace house

Buying an end-of-terrace house is similar to buying a regular terraced house, but there are a few practical differences you need to know in advance:

• Boundary and side strip. The side strip next to an end-of-terrace house is not always owned by the owner. Check the purchase agreement and the land registry exactly what belongs to the plot. Sometimes the strip is municipal land that you rent or lease without knowing it.
• Two facades, two maintenance surfaces. An end-of-terrace house has an extra external wall. This means more painting, more insulation surface and sometimes higher heating costs if the side wall is poorly insulated. Have this included in the structural survey.
• Homeowners' association (VvE) for apartment-like complexes. In some new-build neighbourhoods in Valkenswaard, ground-level end-of-terrace houses also fall under a VvE for the outdoor spaces. Check if there is a VvE and what the monthly contribution is.
• Parking on own land. A side driveway or carport is a plus, but check whether the driveway is permitted and whether there are structural restrictions for expansion.
• Response speed is decisive. End-of-terrace houses in Valkenswaard are viewed quickly. Make sure your financing is in order (mortgage offer or maximum borrowing capacity on paper) before requesting a viewing.
• Set a notification in the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends you a push notification as soon as a new end-of-terrace house listing in Valkenswaard comes online. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play. Those who respond quickly have an advantage.
• Ask about easements. End-of-terrace houses border public space or alleys. Sometimes there is a right of way or a utility line on the plot. This is stated in the notarial deed and the Land Registry, not in the advertisement.

What determines the price of an end-of-terrace house in Valkenswaard?

Current prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page. What influences the price can be described without market figures:

• Plot size. A spacious side strip or garden noticeably increases the asking price. For end-of-terrace houses, this difference is greater than for mid-terrace houses.
• Energy label. Banks are stricter with a poor energy label. A label A or B provides more financing capacity and attracts more buyers.
• Location relative to through traffic. End-of-terrace houses on busy intersections are valued lower than end-of-terrace houses on residential streets or parks.
• Year of construction and state of maintenance. Valkenswaard has housing from many different periods. Post-war end-of-terrace houses are sometimes more affordable but require more investment.
• Supply at that time. When supply is low, bids are made above the asking price. The overview at the top gives a current picture of what is happening now.

Neighbourhoods in Valkenswaard for end-of-terrace houses
