Zuiderkuipen 179711 HR GroningenBinnenstad-Zuid

In the vibrant centre of Groningen, this move-in ready studio is now available. The space is efficiently laid out with a cosy living room including an open kitchen, a separate sleeping area and a bathroom. The studio is part of a housing association, where the living area is private but several facilities—such as the central heating installation, boiler, freezer, and the connections for internet and TV—are shared. The association consists of a total of five members. The location of the studio is a major advantage: various popular spots such as the Zuiderdiep, Westerhaven, Vismarkt, and the main train station are all within a short walking distance, placing every conceivable amenity within easy reach. LAYOUT Ground floor: Entrance with access to the laundry room and a staircase to the upper floor. The shared freezer is also located here. Second floor: Studio 4 is situated on the second floor at the front of the building and consists of two separate rooms. The studio has its own kitchen and a private shower room. The toilet on the same floor is shared with the other resident on that level. SPECIFICS Ownership structure: In 2004, the construction of a housing association was a new form of financing (“Koopstudio”) aimed at helping students or first-time buyers find affordable housing. Each member of the housing association took out their own mortgage for their studio with Rabobank or financed it otherwise. Unlike an apartment right, where a building is divided into separate legal residential units and the Owners’ Association (VvE) manages the building and common areas, in a housing association the building is undivided and jointly owned by all members. The Membership Right of a housing association gives a member the right to occupy a studio, while the association, similar to a VvE, manages the building and common responsibilities. Service or housing costs: Each member has their own living area/studio with a shared toilet. Each member has a fixed share (20%) of the costs (utilities and levies). In addition, there are variable costs depending on the specific studio’s share within the association. – Fixed service costs: approx. €141.62 per month (taxes, levies, insurance, maintenance, etc.) – Variable service costs: approx. €105 per month (energy and water at 20%) ADDITIONAL DETAILS – Move-in ready and available immediately – Subletting permitted
