History of Meppel
The place Meppel has been known since 1141, when the name was recorded on a charter. It began as a small group of farms. Meppel quickly became larger due to incoming inland ships and grew into a trading center. The peat from Drenthe went via the waterways to the western part of the Netherlands. In 1644, Meppel was granted city rights. In Meppel, the bodies of water in the center are called canals. Meppel has the Prinsengracht, Heerengracht, and Keizersgracht. Interestingly, Amsterdam has exactly the same canal names.
The people who live in Meppel are also called ''Meppeler Muggen'' or ''mosquito sprayers''. Many residents describe living in Meppel as feeling like living in a village, with the amenities of a city. During the Thursday Meppeldays, there is always something to do in Meppel in the summer. In the summer holiday, six Thursdays in a row are filled with various activities.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need to hire a real estate agent to buy or sell a house?
No, you are not legally required to hire a real estate agent when buying or selling a house in the Netherlands. However, an agent is far from superfluous. An agent offers market knowledge, negotiation skills, and legal guidance, making the entire process smoother and quicker. Often, this expertise helps you easily recover the agent fees through a higher sale price or a lower purchase offer.
Is there a difference between a buying agent and a selling agent?
A buying agent represents the buyer, assisting in finding homes, negotiating the best purchase price and terms, and guiding the buying process. On the other hand, a selling agent works for the seller to market the property, negotiate the best sale price, and oversee the selling process.
Are real estate agent fees fixed?
Yes, real estate agent fees are not fixed and are negotiable. If you find negotiating intimidating or unpleasant, you can request quotes from multiple agents to ensure you get the best deal. Mijn Verkoopmakelaar can assist you with this.
When is it better to choose an online real estate agent over a traditional one?
Online real estate agents are typically cheaper than traditional ones. This is because you are responsible for tasks like taking photos and conducting viewings yourself. Online agents often charge a fixed, upfront fee. A traditional agent, on the other hand, handles almost everything for you, which comes at a higher cost. The choice is yours.
