Buying a home
We build your search profile together. Which municipalities? What type of home? What budget? After that you receive suitable properties before they're widely listed, through our network of agents and construction firms.
We come along to viewings. With sixteen years of construction experience, we see past the finish: the foundation, the structure, the spots where problems will appear ten years from now. Then we negotiate for you, not for the seller.
- ✓Setting up a personal search profile
- ✓Access to off-market homes through our network
- ✓Viewings with a structural check
- ✓Negotiation on price and terms
- ✓Drafting the offer and bidding strategy
With a builder's eye
A polished sales presentation can hide a lot. Our inspection takes account of what lies beneath the surface.
Selling a home
The complete sale of your home is also in good hands with us. We start with sales advice and a valuation, take care of a strong presentation of your home and schedule the viewings.
We then negotiate the price and conditions on your behalf, draw up the purchase agreement and guide the entire process through to the transfer at the notary.
- ✓Sales advice and valuation
- ✓Home presentation
- ✓Viewings
- ✓Negotiations
- ✓Purchase agreement
- ✓Guidance through to the notarial transfer
From valuation to transfer
One point of contact for the entire sale, in Dutch, Polish or English.
Mortgage & financing
Through our trusted mortgage office, we calculate your maximum borrowing capacity at today's interest rates, completely free of charge. This takes into account your salary, your savings and, where relevant, your combined income with a partner.
Part of what you pay towards your mortgage each month builds your own equity: money that would otherwise go to a landlord. We calculate what it comes to in your situation beforehand, at current interest rates.
- ✓A free mortgage calculation
- ✓A comparison with your current housing costs
- ✓Advice on financing options
- ✓Guidance through the mortgage application
- ✓Communication with the lender
Rent or mortgage?
We work out together what a home of your own costs per month in your situation, honestly and openly, at today's rates.
Guidance in your own language
Every appointment, every document and every explanation happens in the language you grew up with. No separate translator, no middleman, Piet leads the conversations himself, in Dutch, Polish or English.
At the notary, every clause of the purchase agreement is explained sentence by sentence. What are the conditions for cancelling? What does it say about the handover? What happens with hidden defects? Everything clear, before you sign.
- ✓Guidance in Dutch, Polish or English
- ✓Translation of purchase agreements
- ✓Explanation of notarial deeds
- ✓Communication with the mortgage lender
- ✓Help with questions after the purchase
Without a language barrier
Buying a home in a foreign language feels like negotiating blindfolded. We take that blindfold off.
No surprises at the notary
The notarial procedure is a nerve-racking moment for many clients. Not with us. We translate all the documents in advance, the purchase agreement, the deed of transfer, the mortgage deed. During the appointment itself, we translate sentence by sentence.
Questions that come up on the spot about easements, deeds of division or special clauses are cleared up right away. Only when you've truly understood everything does anything get signed.
- ✓Full translation of the deeds in advance
- ✓Presence at the notary appointment
- ✓Live interpreting during the appointment
- ✓Explanation of easements & clauses
- ✓Coordination with the notary and the mortgage lender
Fully supported
Signing a Dutch deed without fully understanding it is a risk. With us, you sign knowing exactly what you're agreeing to.
Even after you get the keys
Buying a home is more than signing at the notary. Right after the transfer, gas, electricity, water and internet need to go into your name. The municipality needs to know you've moved. The tax office needs to register your mortgage interest deduction.
We help take care of that administrative aftermath. And for your first tax year, we're also on hand to help with your return, so you don't miss out on any mortgage interest deduction.
- ✓Connecting gas, electricity, water
- ✓Internet and TV subscription
- ✓Contents and buildings insurance
- ✓Help with your tax return
- ✓A point of contact for unexpected questions
Always available
Clients still call us years later with administrative questions. For us, it simply comes with the job.
