Buy a chalet in the Netherlands
Are you considering to buy a chalet in The Netherlands, a second home to enjoy some relaxation and unwind? It's an excellent thought! Buying a private chalet has turned out to be increasingly interesting the past few years. For your own holiday enjoyment, of course, but (partly) renting the chalet out can also provide you with interesting returns.
But what is involved in purchasing a chalet? We would love to tell you more about it, and to provide you with tailor-made advice. TopParken has been selling chalets at holiday parks for over 40 years, making us the perfect specialist to advise you. We currently offer over 100 different types of chalets for sale at 19 holiday parks throughout The Netherlands.
Buy chalet with pitch
Within the recreation industry, a chalet with a pitch is also called a chalet with private land (plot). Below, you can read about the difference between buying a chalet with a private pitch (land) and buying a chalet on a rental pitch (rental land).
With plot / own ground
The advantage of buying a chalet with a pitch is that you also own the entire ground around the chalet. Your chalet is therefore on the grounds of the holiday park, but the ground on which your chalet stands is yours. Even when the holiday park is sold or goes bankrupt, for example, you remain the owner of the chalet and the ground.
On rented pitch / land
When you buy a chalet and rent the pitch/land, it will be cheaper in the short term because you are only buying the chalet. The downside is that you will incur extra costs in the form of rent for the land, amounting to about €4,500 per year (varying per park). This means that a chalet with private land is cheaper in the long run than a chalet on rental land.

However, TopParken always offers you a third choice! You can choose to use the chalet yourself in part, and to partly rent it out.

What to pay attention to when buying a chalet?
When you are planning to buy a chalet, it is important to first get your own wishes and demands clear. How large do you want the chalet to be? How many persons should it be able to accommodate? Should the chalet be suitable for the elderly? And, perhaps the most important question, in which region are you looking for a chalet?
The choices above are made based on the way you will purchase the chalet. In case you want to rent the accommodation out, for instance, it is important that the chalet is situated in a touristic area because this will make it easy to rent out. If you want to buy the chalet exclusively for yourself, you would naturally look for the location that appeals to you most.

Frequently asked questions when purchasing a chalet
The name derives from the word Chahelet, which is used in the Alps to refer to shepherd's cottages. This means that, in the past, you would find chalets mainly in the region of the Alps.

The owners of TopParken, the Bergervoet family, are among of the founders of the sale of chalets to private individuals.
