Guide for buyers

Buying a property involves many steps. This overview shows you what happens when.

How it works

  1. Set your budget. Equity, income and the monthly repayment determine your budget.
  2. Discuss financing in advance. A discussion before you start looking shows what is possible and establishes your credibility with the seller.
  3. Compare properties. Location, condition, energy performance and ongoing costs matter more than first impressions.
  4. Check documents. Land register, energy performance certificate and, for flats, the declaration of division, meeting minutes and maintenance reserve.
  5. Purchase contract. The notary explains and certifies the contract. You receive the contract text in advance for review.
  6. Handover and protection. The handover includes a report, meter readings and suitable residential buildings and home contents insurance.

Who is this suitable for?
