Description
This garage box is located at Minckelersstraat 99 in The Hague, a city where parking space has become increasingly valuable over the years. The property offers approximately 21 square meters of usable space, making it suitable for various purposes including vehicle storage, motorcycle parking, general storage, or as a secure space for hobby materials and work equipment.
The garage is equipped with a plastic up-and-over door, which provides reliable access to the interior. This type of door is known for its durability and ease of operation, allowing for convenient entry and exit when storing or retrieving items. The door mechanism functions smoothly and requires minimal maintenance compared to older metal variants.
Location plays an important role in the value of parking spaces in urban environments. This garage box is situated on a wide street, which means that maneuvering in and out of the garage is straightforward even for larger vehicles. The Minckelersstraat is easily accessible by car, and the surrounding infrastructure allows for convenient reach from various parts of The Hague.
The property falls under a leasehold arrangement, which is common in the Netherlands for this type of real estate. The current leasehold payment and management costs combined amount to approximately 71.50 euros per half year, totaling 142.50 euros annually. Potential buyers should take these recurring costs into account when evaluating the investment potential of this garage box.
It is important to note that the leasehold agreement has an end date of January 1, 2028. This means that the current leasehold period will expire in a few years, and buyers should familiarize themselves with the implications of this deadline. In many cases, leasehold can be extended or converted to freehold, but this typically involves additional costs and administrative procedures that should be investigated before completing a purchase.
The cadastral designation for this property is DEN HAAG 1 1, and the official size is recorded as 21 square meters. This measurement represents the total floor area within the garage, providing a clear indication of the available space for storage or parking purposes.
The asking price for this garage box was set at 47,500 euros, with the buyer responsible for additional transaction costs such as transfer tax and notary fees. In the current market, parking spaces and garage boxes in Dutch cities have seen significant price increases as available parking becomes scarcer and demand continues to rise.
For investors, garage boxes in central urban locations can offer steady rental income potential, as many residents are willing to pay monthly fees for secure parking facilities. The compact nature of this property means that management responsibilities are minimal, making it a relatively hands-off investment compared to residential rental properties.
For personal use, this garage box provides a solution to the common challenge of finding secure parking or storage in a densely populated city. Whether used for protecting a vehicle from weather conditions and potential damage, or for storing items that do not fit in a typical apartment, the space serves a practical function that many urban residents find valuable.
The garage box is classified as existing construction and falls under the category of garage or storage facility. There are no residential amenities such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or living spaces, as the property is designed exclusively for storage and parking purposes. Utilities such as electricity or water are not mentioned in the listing, which suggests they may not be present or connected.
The status of this listing is marked as sold, indicating that the property has already found a buyer. This reflects the current demand for parking spaces in The Hague, where available garage boxes tend to attract interest relatively quickly when priced appropriately for the market.
When considering a garage box purchase, factors to evaluate include the condition of the door and locking mechanisms, the height of the interior space to ensure it accommodates the intended vehicles, the presence of any moisture or structural issues, and the overall security of the location. The listing describes the garage as practical and accessible, suggesting it meets basic functional requirements for its intended purpose.
The Minckelersstraat is located in the 2522 CD postal code area of The Hague. This area is part of the broader urban fabric of the city, with residential neighborhoods and commercial activities in the vicinity. The accessibility by car and the wide street layout make this particular garage box easier to use than some alternatives in narrower or more congested streets.
For those interested in similar properties, it is advisable to act promptly when suitable options become available, as the market for parking spaces in major Dutch cities remains competitive. Understanding the leasehold terms and any upcoming deadlines is essential for making an informed purchase decision.
