What should a buyer know about a townhouse in the Spijkerkwartier?
The Spijkerkwartier, on the north-east side of the city centre, was designed in 1853 but mostly built from the 1880s for well-off families who wanted to live close to town. Many houses have four storeys including a basement, with neoclassical and French neo-Renaissance details. In the 1960s and 1970s the area went downhill and many houses were split into flats or rooms. Since 2007 it has been a protected cityscape, and it is a popular place to live again. That history explains why two listings in one street can be very different: a complete townhouse needs a buyer with a renovation plan, an upper flat in a former townhouse suits someone who wants to walk to the station. Buyers new to the Netherlands often ask what the protected status means for the facade, so we make sure the municipal rules are at hand before the first viewing.
Next door, Klarendal was the first working-class district outside the old ramparts, with building starting in 1830. The homes are mostly small. Since the fashion quarter at the lower end of the Klarendalseweg was completed in 2008, first-time buyers and people with a creative business look here as well. For these homes the street and the shops around the corner sell as much as the floor plan.

Who is looking for a villa near Park Sonsbeek?
The Burgemeesterswijk, in the north-west of Arnhem, faces Park Sonsbeek across the Zijpendaalseweg. Most of it was built at the start of the twentieth century as a villa district, and several houses are national monuments. Buyers of these homes are critical about roofs, window frames and installations. A file with the maintenance history and the permits for earlier work saves questions later on. For buyers who travel to Germany for work, it also counts that Arnhem Centraal has Intercity-Express trains to Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, and we mention that in the listing when it fits.
What do buyers in Arnhem-Zuid ask first?
South of the Rhine most homes date from after the war. In Schuytgraaf, a Vinex district in the south-west, you usually sell a family home to buyers who want a garden and station Arnhem Zuid on the east side of the district. They compare your house with other homes of the same age, so small differences count, such as a recent boiler or an energy label that reflects the insulation you added. We choose photos that show the living room and the garden first, because that is what these buyers want to see.
Which Dutch rules apply when you sell your house in Arnhem?
A valid energy label is required when you sell, and buyers see it in the listing. Offers come in through us. There is no fixed procedure: you can accept, decline or make a counter-offer, and with several interested parties we may set a deadline for bids. A price agreed in conversation does not yet bind anyone, because the purchase agreement for a home has to be in writing. A private buyer may still withdraw within a cooling-off period of at least three days after receiving the signed agreement. Most agreements contain a financing condition for the buyer. The transfer takes place at the civil-law notary (notaris), through a deed that is registered with the Kadaster. The buyer usually picks the notary and, with a k.k. price, pays the transfer costs.
What does 365 Makelaars do when you sell in Arnhem?
Before we talk about price, we come to see the house and pull up the recent sales in your part of Arnhem. A monumental townhouse is sold on its details and its history, a family home in Elderveld on space and the garden, and we decide with you which story fits. We arrange the photography and the floor plan and place the home on Funda. Viewings we do ourselves, in the evening and at weekends too, so buyers with jobs in the city or across the border can come. When bids arrive, we negotiate on price and conditions for you and draw up the purchase agreement. During the sale you send your questions on WhatsApp straight to the agent who sells your house, in English if you prefer. If you are already looking for your next home, KFD Woonadvies at our Wijchen address can help with the mortgage.

Questions about selling your house Arnhem
Can I change my house in the Spijkerkwartier before selling?
Check with the municipality first: in a protected cityscape or at a national monument, many exterior changes need a permit. Large works before a sale are seldom needed. Painting and small repairs give a better first impression, and the buyer can make the bigger choices.
What does it cost to sell my house in Arnhem?
You pay a fee of 1.5% of the sale price. You also need an energy label when you sell. We list all costs for you before you decide, so there are no surprises later in the sale.
Do you sell flats in Arnhem too?
Yes, from a flat in Malburgen to a floor in a split townhouse in the Spijkerkwartier. For a flat we request the papers of the owners' association (VvE), because every serious buyer wants to read them before making an offer.
Can you hold viewings while I am at work?
Yes. We do the viewings ourselves, also in the evening and at weekends, so you do not have to be at home. Afterwards you hear from us how buyers reacted to the house and whether anyone plans to make an offer.
