Selling a commercial property in Eindhoven
Selling a commercial property in Eindhoven can be done in three ways: via a commercial property agent on the open market, privately to the sitting tenant or user, or directly to a fixed buyer such as Pandverkoop.nl. Through the open market, a sale in Eindhoven usually takes months and you pay commission; with a direct sale, you receive an offer within 24 hours and usually complete at the notary within a few weeks. We purchase in Eindhoven and the surrounding area with our own funds, without financing contingencies.
The commercial real estate market in Eindhoven
In Eindhoven, location and the marketability of the property primarily determine how quickly it is sold: easily accessible real estate on an established business park sells faster than outdated or non-marketable real estate on the edge of the market.
With Brainport, Eindhoven is one of the strongest real estate markets in the Southern Netherlands. The growth of the tech and manufacturing industries keeps demand for business space, small-scale production sites and offices steady, while hardly any new commercial plots are being added in the city. Existing buildings on established sites are therefore in demand.
At the same time, outdated offices and retail properties outside the core shopping area are under pressure: buyers calculate with higher initial yields there and take sustainability or repurposing into account. For student properties and room rental properties, demand in Eindhoven is structurally high due to the TU/e, Fontys and Summa.
Our working area around Eindhoven includes Veldhoven, Son en Breugel, Best, Nuenen, Geldrop-Mierlo, Waalre, Valkenswaard. Is your property just outside these places? We will still consider it – the entire Brainport region falls within our purchasing area.

We purchase in Eindhoven both in industrial estates and in access streets and residential areas: industrial halls, offices, retail properties, residential-retail properties, garage boxes and multi-let houses.

What is my commercial property in Eindhoven worth?
The value of commercial real estate follows from the rental flow and the yield that buyers demand: annual rent divided by the gross initial yield (BAR). With €60,000 annual rent and a required yield of 8%, you arrive at approximately €750,000; if a buyer demands a 9.5% yield, the same property drops to approximately €632,000.
For a vacant property that you use yourself, buyers calculate with the market rent that the property in Eindhoven could yield, minus the costs to make it lettable again. Overdue maintenance, a low energy label and a short remaining lease term depress the price; a long lease agreement with a solid tenant pushes it up.
- Location and accessibility (arterial roads, parking, loading and unloading)
- Rental income, remaining term and quality of the tenant
- Year of construction, maintenance status, roof, installations and asbestos
- Energy label and the sustainability task (offices at least label C)
- Zoning in the environmental plan and the possibilities for rezoning
- Surface area, clear height, plot depth, and expansion space
Sales routes compared for sellers in Eindhoven
Selling directly provides speed and certainty; a commercial estate agent provides maximum exposure but costs commission and time. Which route yields more net depends on how marketable your property is and how much of a hurry you are in.
| Route | Lead time | Seller's costs | Strongest point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Directly to Pandverkoop.nl | 2 – 6 weeks | No commission | Speed and certainty |
| Commercial estate agent in Eindhoven | 6 – 12 months | 1 – 2% commission | Maximum exposure |
| Private sale to the tenant | 1 – 3 months | None to low | Known party |
| Auction | 6 – 10 weeks | Auction costs | Certain date, lower price |
Only the deed of delivery at the notary is legally required. Engaging an estate agent is not – you may sell your commercial property in the Netherlands directly to a buyer.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also buy student properties in Eindhoven?
Yes. We purchase room-rental properties and student housing in Eindhoven including sitting tenants, ongoing lease agreements, and security deposits. You do not need to buy out tenants or deliver the property vacant.
What if my office building in Eindhoven does not have energy label C?
That is not an obstacle. We purchase office buildings with a sustainability requirement and incorporate the expected investment into the offer, so you do not have to renovate or insulate first yourself.
Do you also buy vacant properties in Eindhoven?
Yes. We purchase both rented and vacant properties in Eindhoven. In the case of vacancy, we look at the market rent the property can generate and the costs to make it rentable or reusable again.
