Houses for sale in Ezzouhour

A house for sale in Ezzouhour looks much like its neighbours: a medium-sized plot, a street front with a garage door, a courtyard at the back or in the middle, and a staircase climbing to the roof or to an upper floor. In this delegation of Kasserine, the house is the standard home, the one people build with their savings, extend as the family grows and only sell when they move away, inherit or take on a bigger project.

Listings for houses for sale in Kasserine in the Ezzouhour estates are posted on Houni by the owners or their relatives, and you call them directly. Supply is limited depending on the week, but it covers the whole range, from the small old house to the recent build. To compare, all the houses for sale in Kasserine governorate are gathered on a single page.

Three kinds of house

The old house in the first Ezzouhour estates is single-storey, terraced, with modest rooms around a courtyard. It often comes up for sale after an inheritance, at an affordable price, but needs work: roof waterproofing, wiring, bathroom. It is the cheap house for sale in the true sense, provided you cost the renovation before signing.

The two-storey house, more common, has two levels and sometimes two independent homes. It appeals to buyers who want to house two generations or let one level to ease the family loan. Finally, in the extensions of Ezzouhour Ouest, you find recent or unfinished builds, sold at shell stage: the buyer completes the finishes to their own taste.

Ezzouhour Est, Ezzouhour Ouest and Cité Tayarane

Ezzouhour Est 1 and the neighbouring estates offer the most established neighbourhood life: shops, schools, mosques and shared taxis a few steps away. Plots are smaller there and the scope for extension limited. Ezzouhour Ouest 4 and the developing sectors offer more regular plots and roomier houses, with, in return, services that are still incomplete on some streets.

Cité Tayarane, a district of long-settled families, rarely changes hands: a house that sells there often finds a buyer among the neighbours or relatives. If a whole house is beyond your budget, look also at the floors and apartments among the property for sale in Ezzouhour.

Prices remain moderate compared with the coast: a house in Ezzouhour generally sells well below an equivalent house in Sousse or Sfax, with a wide gap between houses to renovate and recent, well-finished ones.

Title, permit, joint ownership

The first document to ask for is the land title. In estates that came out of public housing schemes, one often exists; in other parts, the house rests on an old deed of sale or a certificate, which makes a bank loan difficult. Then check the building permit, especially for an upper floor added afterwards, and payment of the local housing tax.

Many houses are held jointly by brothers and sisters, some of whom live outside Kasserine. The sale is only safe if all the heirs sign, before a notary or a lawyer, with a deed that describes the house and its boundaries precisely.

A house for the Kasserine winter

Kasserine has cold winters, and a poorly built house shows itself in January. During the visit, look for traces of damp on the ceiling and in the corners, the condition of the windows, and whether there is a fireplace or a spot planned for heating. Check the connection to the sewer network, the water pressure upstairs and whether there is a water tank for the summer cuts. These details, more than the façade, make a house's value over time. A visit with a builder or a relative in the trade costs little and avoids nasty surprises.
