Wijchen Houses for Sale: Castle Town on Nijmegen's Doorstep

Slot Wijchen is a moated castle in the town, and the Maas river and meadows lie to the south. Nijmegen's university, hospitals and employers are about 10 minutes away by bike or car, and the A50 and A73 motorways are close. Wijchen is a calm commuter town, so buyers include Radboud University staff, health workers and families priced out of Nijmegen. Some residents also work in Germany, which is near. Neighbourhoods include 1970s estates and newer builds, so check insulation and heating.

The Netherlands imposes no general restriction on foreign purchasers. Transfer tax is 2% for an owner-occupied home and 8% for other homes. Cross-border buyers from Germany should take advice on tax and financing across both systems. Offers are often competitive, and a purchase agreement has a three-day cooling-off period before the notary deed. See our Dutch purchase guide and financing page.

Nijmegen is next door, Elst lies to the east, Cuijk, Oss and Uden are south and south-west across the Maas, and Wageningen is further north. See the Netherlands page.
