For whom is buying in Vlagtwedde a good choice?

The low WOZ value and selling prices from €299,500 also make the village interesting for movers. First-time buyers with a limited budget can get more home for their money here than in urban areas, but the limited supply of only nine sales in the past year requires patience. Don't forget the additional costs: transfer tax, notary fees and any renovation costs can add up quickly. If you are unsure whether buying is the right time now, you can also look at rental homes in Vlagtwedde as a temporary alternative.
