This simply finished apartment is situated on the second residential floor of a well maintained complex located in the De Wijert district of Groningen. The property offers a practical layout suitable for a starter household, featuring a total living area of 69 square meters. The building dates back to 1961 and is classified as a gallery flat, which means access to the apartments is via a central staircase and gallery. Upon entering the main building, residents find a closed entrance with an intercom system leading to the stairwell. The layout of the apartment itself is straightforward and efficient. The entrance hall provides access to the various rooms in the home. There is a separate toilet room and a bathroom which is equipped with a washbasin and a shower. The apartment contains two bedrooms, both of which are accessible from the central hall. These rooms provide comfortable private spaces for residents. The living area is a through living room, meaning it spans the depth of the apartment, allowing for pleasant light flow. Connected to the living room is a semi open standard kitchen. This kitchen leads directly to the balcony located at the front of the apartment. The balcony faces west, which is a favorable orientation for enjoying the evening sun and offers a nice outdoor space to relax. In addition to the living quarters, the property includes an external storage space. This storage unit is located in the basement of the building and measures 13 square meters. It is suitable for storing bicycles or other items, providing valuable extra space. The total volume of the apartment is 230 cubic meters. The building features a flat roof. The apartment is equipped with double glazing throughout, as all window frames are made of plastic. The heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler. This is a gas fired combi boiler that was installed in 2021 and is owned by the property. The property has an energy label D, reflecting its insulation and heating characteristics. The location in De Wijert is a significant advantage. This neighborhood is situated south of the center of Groningen. Residents benefit from having shopping centers just around the corner, making daily errands convenient. The district also has good public transport connections, providing easy access to the city center. There are specific legal and organizational aspects to consider regarding this property. The sale is part of a sub project, which implies certain conditions for the buyer. A key condition is that the property must be occupied by the owner or a first degree family member of the owner. Furthermore, the sale of the property is not permitted in the first year following the purchase. These conditions are designed to ensure the property is used for primary residence rather than speculative investment. The property is part of an active Owners Association, known in Dutch as a Vereniging van Eigenaren. The management of this association is handled by PandGarant. The monthly contribution for the VvE is approximately 231.33 euros. The VvE is professionally organized with a registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, a periodic contribution, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The asking price for the apartment is 250000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer. This equates to a asking price per square meter of 3623 euros. The transfer of the property can take place quickly, as acceptance is in consultation. Parking around the property is regulated through paid parking and parking permits. The purchase agreement includes a specific clause regarding earthquake damage, which is relevant for the province of Groningen. The seller transfers any potential damage compensation claim against the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij to the buyer. This transfer is effected via a public deed. By agreeing to this, the buyer loses the right to hold the seller liable for defects that are the result of earthquake damage. This legal arrangement is standard in the region to handle potential risks associated with gas extraction. The property is offered with full ownership and is currently available. The combination of a practical layout, the availability of a sunny balcony, and the convenient location in De Wijert makes this apartment a suitable option for those looking to buy their first home in Groningen. The active VvE ensures that the shared elements of the building are well maintained. The recent installation of the central heating boiler adds to the convenience, as does the presence of a private storage box. The restrictions on renting and immediate resale should be noted by potential buyers to ensure the property fits their long term plans.
