How to buy a home

Assess Your Financial Options

Before embarking on your property search, it’s crucial to understand your financial capabilities. Several conditions must be met to qualify for a mortgage in the Netherlands. Our mortgage advisors can provide insights into your borrowing capacity and help identify the most suitable options for your situation. Once you have a clear understanding of your budget, you can commence your search in the Utrecht region.

Define Your Housing Preferences

We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your housing preferences and needs. The Utrecht housing market is highly competitive, with properties selling rapidly. Our prior knowledge of upcoming listings allows us to arrange viewings before properties are officially listed online. Based on your criteria, we curate a selection of potential homes to ensure your time is spent efficiently.

Conduct viewings and make comparisons

When a property aligns with your desires, we accompany you to viewings. We evaluate the property’s condition and maintenance status, comparing it to other available properties or those recently sold in the vicinity. This comparison helps determine the fairness of the asking price. Typically, the seller’s estate agent is present during viewings, representing the seller’s interests. Therefore, having our guidance ensures your interests are also protected.

Finalize the purchase agreement, secure financing and complete the transfer

The seller’s estate agent prepares the purchase agreement, which we meticulously review on your behalf. After discussing the terms with you, the agreement can be signed. Following the seller’s signature, a three-day reflection period begins. If mortgage financing is required, our advisor will identify the best option by comparing rates and conditions from various providers. On the day of the property transfer, we conduct a final inspection with you and the seller. Once everything is satisfactory, we proceed to the notary’s office. Upon signing the deed of transfer, you become the official owner of your new home, and the keys are handed over to you. For personalized assistance and to embark on your property journey in the Netherlands, feel free to contact us.
