Energy Efficient 2-Room Apartment with Balcony in Moerwijk
Key Features
Upsides
- The ground lease (erfpacht) has been perpetually paid off, meaning no periodic leasehold payments are required, which provides long-term financial benefits.
- The energy label B combined with a relatively new Remeha combination boiler from 2021 indicates good energy efficiency and lower heating costs.
- The location offers excellent connectivity with Moerwijk train station within walking distance and quick access to major highways including the A4, A12, and A13.
- The VvE has a substantial reserve fund of over 500,000 euros, indicating good financial health and proper maintenance planning for the building.
- A separate external storage unit of 4.12 square meters is included, providing convenient space for bicycles and belongings.
Downsides
- The living space of 44.6 square meters is relatively small, which may feel limiting for couples or anyone wanting more room.
- The balcony is located on the northeast side, meaning it receives limited direct sunlight, especially during afternoon and evening hours.
- The electrical installation has only three groups, which may be insufficient for modern electrical needs and could require upgrading.
- Parking is only free until 6:00 PM, after which a permit system applies, adding complexity and potential costs for residents with cars.
- The property is located on the first floor, requiring some stairs to access, which may not be ideal for individuals with mobility limitations.
Description
This apartment is situated in the Moerwijk district of The Hague and offers a practical layout suitable for starters or couples looking for their first purchased home. The property was built in 1995 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
The living space measures approximately 44.6 square meters according to the official measurement instructions based on the BBMI standard. The apartment consists of two rooms, with one designated as a bedroom. The living room has an open kitchen layout, creating a sense of space despite the compact dimensions. Natural light enters the property through windows that are partially fitted with wooden frames with double glazing and partially with aluminum frames.
The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, sink, and a sink cabinet. The property features mechanical ventilation as well as natural ventilation options, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate. A TV cable connection is available for entertainment setup.
The apartment includes a balcony located on the northeast side of the building, providing outdoor space for relaxation during the warmer months. The balcony measures 5 square meters and offers a pleasant area to enjoy fresh air.
A separate storage unit of approximately 4.12 square meters is available in the basement of the building. This storage space is accessible from the outside, which is convenient for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings without having to bring them through the apartment.
The property is located on the first floor and is reachable via just a few steps, making it easily accessible compared to higher floor apartments. The entrance to the building and the layout have been designed with practicality in mind.
Regarding energy efficiency, the apartment has been awarded energy label B, which is valid until June 17, 2030. This label indicates that the property meets reasonable energy efficiency standards. The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2021, which is owned by the current owner and represents a relatively recent and efficient heating system.
The electrical installation consists of three groups, one earth leakage switch, two earth leakage circuit breakers, and one doorbell transformer. This setup may be considered basic for modern standards and potential buyers might want to assess whether this meets their future electrical needs.
The apartment is situated on leasehold land (erfpacht), which has been perpetually paid off. This means that there are no periodic leasehold payments to be made, which is a financial advantage for the owner. The property is identified in the land registry as located in The Hague, section AC, number 2846.
The active Homeowners Association (VvE) is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds a share of 10/1902. The monthly VvE contribution is 131.11 euros. As of December 31, 2025, the reserve fund has accumulated to 502,692.51 euros, indicating a healthy financial position of the association. The VvE has a maintenance plan in place and building insurance is arranged.
Parking at the location is free until 6:00 PM, after which a resident and visitor parking permit system applies through the Municipality of The Hague. Additionally, there is an optional parking space available for purchase separately, located on the rear property at Erasmusweg 5-AP71. Details about this parking space can be found in a separate listing from DIVA Makelaars.
The location in Moerwijk is central and well-connected. The apartment is within walking distance of Moerwijk train station, allowing for easy train travel towards The Hague Central Station (Hollands Spoor) and the city center. For car owners, major roads such as the Erasmusweg, A4, A12, and A13 are quickly accessible, making cities like Rotterdam, Delft, and Amsterdam easily reachable.
For daily shopping and leisure, the shops along Gouverneurlaan and the Haagse Market are within a short distance. The vibrant center of The Hague can be reached by bicycle within minutes, offering a wide range of restaurants, cultural attractions, and shopping opportunities.
The asking price for this apartment is 230,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,111 euros per square meter. Bids are processed through a transparent bidding platform (divamakelaars.nl/eerlijkbieden) and the property is offered with an attractive minimum bid price. The delivery date is to be agreed upon, and the buyer may choose their own notary, provided the notary is based in The Hague.
It should be noted that regardless of the year of construction and the state of maintenance, an age clause will be included in the purchase agreement. This is a standard practice in Dutch real estate transactions for older properties.
The apartment is offered furnished (gestoffeerd), which may include floor coverings, curtains, and light fixtures. Potential buyers should clarify the exact items included in the furnishing during the viewing.
Viewings are organized through scheduled appointments, including an initial live video viewing option. The selling agent explicitly requests that interested parties do not visit the property without a prior appointment, respecting the privacy of the current occupants.
This apartment represents an opportunity for first-time buyers to enter the property market in a well-connected part of The Hague. The combination of a perpetually paid-off leasehold, a relatively recent heating installation, and a healthy VvE reserve fund provides a solid foundation for a comfortable living situation.
