More information about buying a house in Amsterdam

Buying the perfect house

Buying a house is one of the most important events in a persons life and financially often the most expensive one. Our office helps to convince the seller to choose for you in a market where the seller has a choice out of multiple buyers and receives multiple proposals. Our brokers are always well informed about the latest ins and outs concerning the real estate market.

Especially for expats and people who are not familiar with Amsterdam, it is extra important to be assisted by a good purchasing broker. In addition to buying your ideal home in a way that is most beneficial to you, we can also advise you about the neighbourhoods in Amsterdam so that you can make considered choices.

The quest for the perfect house starts with summing up your demands. Is there a certain neighborhood you wish to live in? What kind of residence are you looking for? How many bedrooms does it have to contain? All these kind of questions will be discussed with one of our brokers during the advisory, which is cost free.

Have you found your dream house and do you wish to proceed to a possible purchase?

You will be assisted by your broker who will investigate the property for you. Think about the technical condition of the home, environmental factors such as the zoning plan, legal aspects, leasehold and easements. You should also consider the owners association assessment, which also includes research into the financial condition, the (multi year) maintenance plan and the minutes / agenda items of the owners association.

Negotiating is a craft, and it is our craft!

Buying and selling houses is the thing we do every day, so no one knows how to play the negotiating game better than we do. Together we decide your strategy for the negotiations. We will help you to purchase the house for the lowest possible price and for the beneficial conditions.

And don’t forget...

If all the steps mentioned above went well, there are still are some things that need to be taken care of. The actual buying of the house is not the last moment you will been seeing us. Reading through and signing the purchase deed. Getting you in contact with a financial advisor, if necessary. The key transfer at the notary. These are just a couple of things that have to be done after the purchase, and we will help you in those matters as well.
