Key Features
Description
This property offering concerns a garage located at Kagerstraat 26-K in the city of Leiden, specifically in the Boerhaavedistrict area. The garage carries the number 32 within the complex and is situated on a small square that is tucked away behind the residential buildings along the Houtlaan and the Kagerstraat. This positioning provides a somewhat secluded and sheltered location away from the main traffic flow of these streets.
The garage was constructed in the year 1962 and has since been part of the local building fabric in this established neighbourhood of Leiden. The property has been measured and verified, with the following confirmed dimensions: the interior depth measures approximately 5.99 meters, while the width comes to approximately 2.73 meters. The ceiling height is 2.50 meters, which provides adequate vertical clearance for most standard vehicle types and storage purposes. The entrance is equipped with rolling doors, with the door opening itself having a width of approximately 2.38 meters. This door width should accommodate most regular passenger vehicles without difficulty.
The total area of the garage unit is 18 square meters, and this space is situated on owned ground. In addition to the garage unit itself, the purchase also includes a one thirty-eighth (1/38th) undivided share in a communal courtyard area. This shared courtyard is cadastrally registered as being located in the municipality of Leiden, section P, number 3695, and covers an area of ten ares and ninety centiares (10 a 90 ca), which equals approximately 1,090 square meters. This shared ownership structure means that the buyer will have a legal stake in the larger courtyard area that serves the garage complex.
It is important to note that the garage does not have an electrical connection. Buyers who require electricity for lighting, power tools, or electric vehicle charging will need to arrange for an electrical installation to be fitted at their own expense and in accordance with local regulations.
There is a homeowners association (VVE in Dutch) that governs the shared courtyard area. The VVE contribution is approximately 125 euros per year, which works out to roughly 10.42 euros per month. This contribution is settled annually and is used specifically for the maintenance of the shared courtyard square. It should be understood that this VVE is solely responsible for the courtyard area and not for the individual garage structures themselves.
The location of this garage offers several practical advantages in terms of accessibility and proximity to various facilities. The garage is situated at a short distance from the centre of Leiden, making it conveniently reachable for those who frequent the city centre for work, shopping, or leisure activities. The Alrijne hospital is within walking distance, which could be particularly relevant for medical professionals or those who regularly visit the hospital for appointments or work purposes.
Several buildings belonging to Leiden University are also located within walking distance of the garage. Additionally, the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) is accessible from this location. This proximity to educational and medical institutions may make the garage attractive to students, university staff, healthcare workers, or others who have regular business in these areas.
The Leiden Central Station can be reached by bicycle in approximately three minutes. This very short cycling distance to the main railway station makes the garage location highly convenient for commuters who travel to other cities for work or study, as they can easily combine the use of their vehicle with train travel.
The Houtkwartier neighbourhood, in which the Boerhaavedistrict is situated, is a well-established and centrally located area of Leiden. The area is characterised by a mix of residential buildings and has good connections to the rest of the city. The presence of the small square behind the main streets gives the garage location a quieter, more residential feel compared to garages that front directly onto busy roads.
The asking price for this garage is 60,000 euros, with the costs associated with the purchase (such as notary fees, transfer tax, and any mortgage-related costs) to be borne by the buyer, as indicated by the term "kosten koper" (k.k.). The designated project notary for this transaction is Bakker & Neve, based in Leiderdorp.
