Description
This apartment is situated on the Spuistraat in the Fellenoord district of Breda, a location that places residents right in the heart of this charming Brabant city. The property is positioned within the inner city area, meaning that within just a few minutes of walking or cycling, one can reach the bustling city center with all its offerings. The surrounding neighborhood provides immediate access to a wide array of amenities including numerous shops, restaurants and cafes, cinemas, the historic Grote Markt square, and the Chassé Theater. This central location makes the property particularly appealing for those who wish to experience urban living at its fullest.
The immediate vicinity of the Spuistraat also features various educational institutions, making this apartment a practical choice for students or young professionals associated with these facilities. Public transportation options are readily available nearby, ensuring convenient connections to other parts of Breda and beyond. For those who travel by car, the major highways leading to Rotterdam via the A16, to Utrecht via the A27, and to Antwerp via the A16 and E19 are all easily accessible from this location. Parking in the area is managed through a permit system, which can be obtained through the municipality of Breda, and parking is possible directly in front of the building or in the surrounding streets.
The apartment itself is located on the first floor of a portiekflat building that was constructed in 1982. The building features a composite roof covered with tiles. Upon entering the building on the ground floor, one finds the mailboxes, the stairwell, and the entrance to both the communal bicycle storage and the individual private storage units. The private storage space measures one square meter and provides useful additional space for storing belongings that may not fit within the apartment itself.
Inside the apartment, the layout begins with a hall that houses the meter cupboard and provides access to the various rooms. The bedroom is situated adjacent to the hallway and offers access to the balcony, which measures three square meters. This outdoor space provides a pleasant spot to enjoy fresh air and some outdoor time without leaving the building. The balcony faces outward and contributes to the overall living experience of this compact home.
On the opposite side of the hallway from the bedroom, the bathroom is located. This space is fully tiled and equipped with a shower, a vanity unit with sink, and a toilet. The bathroom also houses the electric boiler that provides hot water for the apartment. It is important to note that this boiler is rented, with a monthly cost of five euros and seventy one cents, which the new owner will need to continue paying or potentially replace with their own system.
The main living area consists of a combined living room and open kitchen. Multiple windows in this space allow for an abundance of natural light to enter, creating a bright and pleasant atmosphere. The kitchen is fitted with both upper and lower cabinets, providing storage space for kitchenware and groceries. While the apartment is compact at thirty four square meters of living space, the open layout of the living and kitchen area helps create a sense of spaciousness.
The total volume of the apartment is one hundred twelve cubic meters, which is consistent with the square footage for a property of this type. The apartment features double glazing for the windows, which contributes to energy efficiency and comfort. Mechanical ventilation is installed in the property, helping to maintain good air quality throughout the living spaces. The property currently holds an energy label D, which is typical for buildings of this age and construction period.
The heating system in the apartment operates through block heating, which is a centralized system serving multiple units in the building. The costs for this heating are billed separately from the regular service charges, with a monthly advance payment of seventy five euros for the heating costs. This advance is based on the 2026 budget and will be settled periodically based on actual usage.
The homeowners association, known in Dutch as VvE, is properly established and registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These are all positive indicators of a well managed residential complex. The monthly VvE contribution is two hundred forty two euros and forty one cents, excluding the heating cost advance mentioned previously.
Potential buyers should be aware that this property was formerly a rental home owned by an investment company. As such, the buyer should take into account that there may be restoration and renovation costs involved in bringing the property up to their personal standards. The sale will include several standard NVM clauses in the purchase agreement, specifically the asbestos clause, the age clause, the as is where is clause, and the exclusion clause. These clauses are standard for properties of this type and age and serve to clarify the responsibilities and expectations of both buyer and seller.
An important condition of this sale is that the transfer of ownership must take place at the fixed project notary of the investment company that currently owns the property. This is a non negotiable condition of the sale, meaning buyers must be willing to use this specific notary for the transaction. This arrangement is common when purchasing properties from institutional sellers or investment firms.
The asking price for this apartment is two hundred nine thousand five hundred euros, which is offered as a cost to buyer transaction, known in Dutch as kosten koper. This means that the buyer will additionally need to pay the standard purchase costs including transfer tax and notary fees. The price per square meter works out to approximately six thousand one hundred sixty two euros, which reflects the central location and the current market conditions for apartments in Breda. The property is currently available and the acceptance date can be discussed and agreed upon between buyer and seller.
