End-of-terrace houses for sale in Veenendaal

Veenendaal and end-of-terrace houses: what you need to know as a buyer

Veenendaal is a municipality that has grown considerably along the A12, with neighbourhoods built in waves from the 1960s well into the 1990s. You can tell from the supply: end-of-terrace houses are not rare here, but they disappear from the market quickly. They are typically terraced houses at the end of a block, with an extra side strip of land and sometimes a driveway or storage shed that other houses in the row do not have.

For those considering buying an end-of-terrace house in Veenendaal: the supply is mainly in the upper mid-range segment. End-of-terrace houses are structurally more expensive than mid-terrace houses on the same street, due to the extra land and larger façade. Current numbers and price levels can be found in the overview of all homes for sale in Veenendaal at the top of this page.

End-of-terrace houses attract a broad group of buyers: families looking for space, people who want to park a car or camper on their own property, and buyers who want to renovate without immediately facing a neighbour's wall. This makes competition for end-of-terrace houses in Veenendaal above average.

What makes an end-of-terrace house technically and legally different

An end-of-terrace house may seem simply larger at first glance, but there are a few points to consider that you do not have with a mid-terrace house:

• Two external walls. End-of-terrace houses have more façade surface area exposed to the outside air. This means more heat loss if the insulation is not up to standard. Always request the energy label and insulation values.
• Side strip: ownership or leasehold? Check the purchase agreement whether the side strip is fully owned, or whether there is an easement or municipal right attached. This is often overlooked.
• Boundary and permits. Many end-of-terrace houses have an extension or shed built on the side strip. Check whether this required a permit and whether the permit actually exists. Without a permit, this can cause problems when selling.
• Traffic and noise pollution. End-of-terrace houses are more often located directly on a through road or intersection. Walk past the house on a weekday morning to check how much traffic passes.
• Buildings insurance. The rebuilding value is higher for end-of-terrace houses due to the larger façade. Have this included in the valuation so you are not underinsured.
• Structural survey. The side wall of an end-of-terrace house endures more (wind, rain, sun). Damp problems and cracks start here more often. A structural survey is not an unnecessary luxury for this type.
• Set up the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends you a push notification as soon as a new end-of-terrace house becomes available in Veenendaal. Download via the App Store or Google Play.

What determines the price of an end-of-terrace house in Veenendaal

End-of-terrace houses in Veenendaal are in the upper mid-range segment of the owner-occupied market. Within that segment, there are factors that push the price up or down:

• Location in the neighbourhood. An end-of-terrace house on a quiet residential street commands a different price than a similar house on a busy access road.
• Plot size. The larger the side strip, the more value. Note: not every end-of-terrace house has a usable extra garden. Sometimes the side strip is narrow or borders a cycle path.
• State of maintenance. End-of-terrace houses that are well insulated and have a recent roof are valued significantly higher. Deferred maintenance on the side wall depresses the price.
• Parking possibility. A driveway on private property is a concrete added value in Veenendaal, especially in neighbourhoods where parking pressure is high.
• Construction period. Houses from the 1990s are generally better insulated than those from the 1970s. This makes a difference in energy costs and future investments.
