This property is being offered for sale by the Municipality of Almelo, with the sales procedure being carried out through a real estate agent. The property is being made available specifically for private buyers. The asking price is set at 260,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the costs associated with the purchase (kosten koper).
There are several special conditions attached to this sale that potential buyers should be aware of. A self-occupation obligation of one year is included in the purchase agreement, meaning the buyer must reside in the property themselves for at least one year after purchase. An old age clause is included in the agreement, which is standard for older properties. An asbestos clause is also included. A non-self-occupation clause is mentioned, which appears contradictory to the self-occupation obligation mentioned elsewhere. Potential buyers should seek clarification on this point from the selling agent.
Furthermore, a bank guarantee or security deposit of 10 percent of the purchase price is required at the request of the seller. The sale is subject to a BIBOB check by the Municipality of Almelo and a college decision (collegebesluit). The property is sold on an as-is, where-is basis, meaning the buyer accepts the condition of the property and the situation on site as it exists at the time of sale, including any defects or limitations. By submitting a bid and subsequently entering into the purchase agreement, the buyer fully indemnifies the municipality against any liability, including any damage, defects, or other consequences arising from the land, the location, or the use thereof.
There is also a servitude (erfdienstbaarheid) in place granting a right of way for the neighboring property at Ootmarsumsestraat 376 in Almelo. This means the neighbor has certain rights of access across part of the property, which buyers should familiarize themselves with before committing to a purchase.
The sales procedure follows a specific format. First, interested parties are given the opportunity to view the property during a scheduled viewing moment, during which an agent is present to answer questions and provide additional information. After the viewing, interested parties have time to develop plans and make calculations. Bids can be submitted until Friday, April 17, 2026, at 12:00 noon. Bids can be submitted with or without a financing condition. In all cases, the highest bid takes priority. If the highest bidder cannot secure financing or decides to withdraw, the list of bids will be processed in order from highest to lowest.
It is explicitly recommended that interested parties engage their own purchase agent (aankoopmakelaar) to represent their interests and save time, money, and concerns during the purchasing process.
The information provided in the listing cannot be relied upon as rights and cannot be considered an offer or quotation. If a potential buyer wishes to receive an offer, the agent can provide one after approval by the principal, based on specific data.
In summary, this property offers a corner house in a central location in Almelo with all amenities within easy reach. The property requires modernization and renovation work, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas, but provides a solid foundation with three bedrooms and a west-facing garden. The municipal sale procedure and associated conditions require careful attention from potential buyers, and engaging professional assistance is strongly advised.
