End-of-terrace houses in Zutphen: what you need to know before you start looking
Zutphen is a Hanseatic city with a compact city centre, many pre-war buildings and a housing market that seems calmer than that of the Randstad, but that feeling is deceptive. The supply of end-of-terrace houses is limited and demand is steady. Anyone actively looking for an end-of-terrace house to buy in Zutphen quickly notices that this type of house rarely stays online for long.
End-of-terrace houses in Zutphen are diverse: from wide 1930s houses in the older neighbourhoods to terraced end houses in post-war expansions such as Leesten and Noordveen. For those looking for space, a private driveway or a larger garden, this type is the most logical choice in the owner-occupied market. For current numbers and prices: see the overview at the top of this page.
What makes an end-of-terrace house different, and what to look out for
An end-of-terrace house offers more light and a larger plot, but also has specific points of attention that do not apply to a mid-terrace house. Keep the following in mind during your search:
- Side wall and maintenance. The blank side wall is entirely yours. This means extra painting, insulation costs and sometimes damp issues that occur less quickly with a mid-terrace house. Always have this included in a structural survey.
- Boundary and neighbour law. With end-of-terrace houses, the plot often borders public space or an alley. Check the land registry exactly where the boundary runs. Fences and extensions on the boundary can later cause conflicts.
- Parking on private property. Many end-of-terrace houses in Zutphen have a driveway or carport. Check whether it was built with a permit and whether there is an easement on the plot.
- Speed of response is crucial. End-of-terrace houses in Zutphen sell relatively quickly. Make sure your mortgage advice is up to date and that you can view quickly.
- Set up notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends a push notification as soon as a new end-of-terrace house appears in Zutphen. Download the app via the App Store or Google Play.
- Ask about the HOA situation. End-of-terrace houses are sometimes part of a block with an active HOA (for apartments above or garage boxes next to the house). Check whether a contribution applies and what the reserve fund covers.
- Pay attention to the WOZ value relative to the asking price. Due to the larger plot and extra wall, an end-of-terrace house generally has a higher WOZ value. This affects transfer tax and mortgage interest deduction. Have your advisor calculate this.
Price level: which segment do end-of-terrace houses in Zutphen fall into?
End-of-terrace houses in Zutphen fall into the upper middle segment of the owner-occupied market. They are structurally more expensive than comparable mid-terrace houses on the same street, due to the larger plot, extra daylight and parking space on private property.
Factors that further influence the price:
- Location relative to the centre and the IJssel river.
- Year of construction and the condition of the side wall and roof.
- Presence of a garage, carport or driveway.
- Energy label (older end-of-terrace houses are often less well insulated due to the extra external wall).
- Garden orientation (south-facing corner garden is a noticeable added value).

Frequently asked questions
What does a corner house in Zutphen cost?
Corner houses in Zutphen generally fall into the higher mid-range of the owner-occupied market. They are structurally more expensive than comparable terraced houses due to the larger plot, extra external wall, and often a driveway or carport. Current asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
How can I quickly find a new corner house in Zutphen?
Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The app sends a push notification as soon as a new corner house becomes available in Zutphen. This allows you to respond as one of the first, which can make a difference in a tight market.
What legal aspects should I consider when buying a corner house?
Check the exact location of the property boundary in the land registry. With corner houses, the plot often borders public land or an alley, raising questions about fences, extensions, and easements. Also ask whether the driveway or carport was built with the required permits and whether there is a homeowners' association (VvE) obligation for adjacent spaces.
Which neighbourhoods in Zutphen have the most supply of corner houses?
Warnsveld (9.0/10) and Centrum and De Hoven (8.8/10) score highest among residents. Noordveen (8.2/10) and Leesten (7.8/10) have more post-war and newer corner houses. The current supply per neighbourhood varies greatly by period. Check the overview at the top for the most recent situation.
Is parking a problem with corner houses in Zutphen?
Many corner houses in Zutphen have their own driveway or carport, making parking easier than with terraced houses. In the centre and De Hoven, this is less common. Always check during a viewing whether a parking permit is needed for the street and whether the driveway was legally constructed.
My experience with the neighbourhood is very positive. Although the streets are somewhat narrow and the houses here and there a bit dated, this is more than compensated by the favourable location. Within a two-minute walk you are already in the city centre, which makes living here very practical and pleasant. In addition, the neighbourhood has a nice playground and is only a ten-minute walk from the beautiful river IJssel. In the early morning you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise there, which gives a peaceful start to the day. There are also various shops within walking distance, such as Albert Heijn, Lidl and Kruidvat, as well as other amenities that you can easily use on a weekly basis.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is always very friendly, except for a few. However, there are only a few facilities for children. There are plenty of shops in the area, but elsewhere there is very little to do. There is only one small nature area nearby, and I find that a shame because I always enjoy a nice walk in the neighbourhood. I hope more green spaces can be added to the district. I also notice that since the hedges in the back gardens have disappeared and been replaced with fences, fewer and fewer birds are flying through the neighbourhood. I find that a shame too.

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are always curious when something happens; you often see them watching from their gardens. There are a handful of nice people, but also a few who complain about everything and are quite mean about it. I don't know most people. Everyone mostly keeps to themselves.

Auto-translated to English by AIIn our beautiful neighbourhood with lots of greenery, the municipality does a lot to support insects by, for example, sowing flowers. However, many disadvantaged families live here and the neighbourhood is very dirty due to illegal dumping. There is a lot of petty crime, such as vandalising property and scratching cars, smashing windows and stealing belongings. There are many loitering youths in the playgrounds between the houses. Furthermore, there is a problem with dogs running loose where it is not allowed, resulting in quite a few biting incidents, including a little dog that was bitten to death while walking with a small boy.
