Offered: NVM Agricultural & Rural
From livestock farming to building plots
On the left is a large detached house, on the right a house has just been completed and next to it there is plenty of construction. From the jetty you have a beautiful view over the ten building plots, which the Faber family uses a NVM Agricultural and Ruralbroker realized on the former yard of their farm. "The clients of this house come from Almere. They pay XNUMX euros per square meter for this building plot. A joke compared to the Randstad."
From his small-scale dairy farm in the Frisian town of Twijslerheide, farmer Faber had already seen the advancing buildings rapidly approaching him. If it were up to the municipality, his farmyard would be surrounded by new construction. With a financial compensation on the horizon, many people would raise the flag. Farmer Faber does not. "My father was attached to his place, his freedom and wide view," says son Sjoerd (69).
Support and rock
Farmer Faber passed away in 2009. Sjoerd and his brothers and sisters took over the business, with NVM Agricultural and Rural-broker Jos Ebbers van Wijmenga Brokers & Stewards as a support and refuge. The construction crisis took a heavy toll on the housing market and the municipality changed the zoning plan back to agricultural. The Faber family started a plan damage procedure together with the real estate agent in connection with the sale of the property.
After allotment, however, the municipal budget did not appear to be flourishing. The two sides found each other in a unique solution. The municipality paid out part of the plan damage and compensated the other part in kind: through another zoning change. With this they offered the Faber family the opportunity to allocate the plot and offer it on the housing market.
Unprecedented spacious lots
The zoning was changed to residential, which gave Sjoerd the opportunity to allocate ten free building plots. "We have even concluded an extra deal with the municipality," says NVM Agrarisch en Landelijk broker Ebbers. "Adjacent was another piece of land owned by the municipality. We will include that as a plot in the sale. All parties are happy."
A piece of land has also been added to the plan on the other side of the original plot. As a result, more than one hectare of land can now be divided over a maximum of ten homes. Unprecedentedly generous. And the distribution is flexible. Sjoerd: "For example, four houses can be built along the road. That can be two two-person houses, but three or even two detached houses are also allowed. Just what the buyer wants!"
"It doesn't get any cheaper"
With rising house prices, it is becoming increasingly attractive for private individuals to purchase repurposed agricultural plots. The agreement offers space to optimally match housing needs and budget. In addition, the land price is very attractive and free by name, says NVM Agrarisch & Landelijk broker Jos Ebbers. "Compared to cities, especially in the west of the country, it costs a pittance. While you also have all amenities nearby, but in a beautiful landscape. In addition, we are allowed to charge the plots with transfer tax instead of VAT. That makes a significant difference in price. The low interest rate is of course also favorable. It really doesn't get any cheaper."
