Eersel Real Estate: Family Houses South of Eindhoven

The municipality is made of small villages in woodland and heath, close to the Belgian border. Many residents work at companies and research sites around Eindhoven and Veldhoven. Cycling infrastructure is excellent, but public transport is limited, so a car is common. Buyers are families, engineers on international assignments and Belgians looking across the border.

Housing in the Eindhoven region is competitive, and homes often sell above asking price after viewing days and sealed bids.

Check the energy label and the age of the roof and heating system, since the Dutch government is pushing owners towards heat pumps and better insulation. In villages like these, the plot often matters as much as the house, so look at garden size, orientation and any restrictions in the zoning plan.

Foreigners can buy Dutch property freely. Transfer tax is 2% for owner-occupiers and 8% for other residential buyers, so investors pay far more. A notary completes the transfer. After you sign the purchase agreement you have a three-day cooling-off period. Mortgages usually need a financing clause and a valuation.

Bergeijk, Bladel, Veldhoven, Waalre and Valkenswaard are neighbours, and Eindhoven is the regional city. The Netherlands overview shows the rest.
