Key Features
Description
This listing presents an indoor garage box located at Malvert 6803 in the city of Nijmegen. The property is offered at a price of twenty thousand euros, which is subject to buyer costs. The primary purpose of this space is to provide additional storage room or parking space for individuals residing in the area. The garage box is available for immediate acceptance, making it a convenient option for those who require extra space without delay.
The dimensions of the garage box are approximately five meters and eighty-five centimeters in depth by two meters and forty centimeters in width. This results in a total floor area of approximately fourteen square meters. These measurements indicate a space that is suitable for storing bicycles, motorcycles, smaller vehicles, or a variety of household items and boxes. To put these dimensions into perspective, a typical compact car in the Netherlands is around four meters long, meaning it would fit within the depth of this garage box with some room remaining at the front or rear. A standard Dutch bicycle is approximately one meter and eighty centimeters long, allowing for multiple bicycles to be parked inside simultaneously. It is important for potential buyers to verify that their intended items will fit within these specific dimensions before proceeding with a purchase.
Access to the garage box is facilitated by a manually operated door. Buyers should be aware that the space does not include any electrical connections, water supply, or power provisions. This means that the unit cannot be used for activities requiring electricity or plumbing, and it functions strictly as a basic storage or parking facility. Because there is no power, it is impossible to charge electric vehicles or electric bicycles inside this unit. Any lighting needed inside the space would have to be provided by battery operated lamps or flashlights brought in by the user.
The property is classified as existing construction. Upon purchase, the new owner will be obligated to become a member of the Homeowners Association, referred to as the VVE in the Netherlands. There is a monthly VVE contribution that the owner must pay. According to the 2026 budget, this monthly fee is approximately thirteen euros and thirty-six cents. This contribution covers the shared costs and maintenance of the communal areas and the overall structure of the building complex where the garage box is situated. The VVE ensures that the roof, exterior walls, and communal pathways are maintained properly. The relatively low monthly contribution suggests that the maintenance requirements for the garage block are minimal.
The transfer of this property is subject to specific conditions set by the seller. The seller utilizes their own clauses in the purchase agreement, which the buyer must agree to during the transaction. Additionally, the transaction must be completed using a designated project notary. The appointed notary for this specific transaction is Dirkzwager Notarissen, located in Nijmegen. The use of this specific notary is strictly tied to the transaction and cannot be changed to another notarial office by the buyer. Project notaries are commonly used in larger residential complexes because they possess specific knowledge of the building's deeds and VVE regulations, ensuring a legally sound transfer.
Prospective buyers must also take into account the applicable transfer tax. The listing explicitly states that a transfer tax of ten point four percent applies. In the Netherlands, this is the standard transfer tax rate for properties that are not classified as a primary residence, such as a garage box, a second home, or an investment property. This tax is calculated over the purchase price. For this property, the transfer tax would amount to two thousand and eighty euros. This tax is an additional cost on top of the twenty thousand euro purchase price and the notary fees, which buyers need to factor into their total investment calculation. The notary will arrange the payment of this tax to the Dutch tax authorities during the transfer process.
It is worth noting that financing a property of this value through a traditional mortgage might be challenging. Dutch banks generally have minimum mortgage amounts, often around fifty thousand euros, because the administrative costs of setting up a mortgage are too high for smaller amounts. Therefore, buyers of this garage box will likely need to have the full purchase price, plus the additional costs, available in cash or through a personal loan.
The location of the garage box is on the Malvert in the 6538 EP postal code area of Nijmegen. The Malvert is a well known avenue in Nijmegen, characterized by its long rows of apartment buildings and associated garage blocks. The area is highly residential and offers practical connectivity to the rest of the city. Having a dedicated storage space in such a densely populated residential area is highly practical, as indoor storage space is often limited in the apartments situated along this avenue.
In summary, this listing is for a basic, bare indoor garage box in Nijmegen without any utilities. It is available immediately, comes with a mandatory VVE membership and monthly service costs, and requires the use of a specific notary. The asking price is twenty thousand euros buyer costs, with a ten point four percent transfer tax applicable over the purchase price.
