Local context Ekeren
Ekeren (Donk, Mariaburg, Sint-Mariaburg) is a clear villa and fermette area from the 1960s-80s: detached brick houses on 500-1500 m² gardens, often on plots governed by old subdivision rules. We regularly find garden oil tanks, asbestos corrugated sheeting on the garden shed and an ageing central-heating boiler.
Sale drivers: retired couple moving to assisted living in Ekeren or Kapellen, inheritance of a villa with children abroad or in the Netherlands, or divorce where neither party can maintain the garden and house alone. Vegetation, oil tank and asbestos shed are taken over free of charge.
Mini-case Ekeren: an inherited villa in Mariaburg, 900 m² garden, buried oil tank, asbestos shed, overgrown garden. The three children (Ekeren, Rotterdam, Zürich) wanted no viewings and no garden contractor. Offer within 24 hours, deed seven weeks later at their notary in Kapellen, tank, asbestos and garden fully taken over by our partners.
