These conditions give buyers the option to withdraw from the purchase if certain matters don't work out as expected, for example if financing is rejected or a structural survey reveals problems. Each condition has a clear deadline.

This means that the seller has accepted a bid but the contract has not yet been signed. Viewings are usually stopped, but sales are not final yet.

Sellers are legally required to report all known defects and special features of the property. Withholding important information can have legal consequences.

With ownership, you own both the house and the land. With ground lease, you own the house but rent the land from, for example, the municipality in exchange for an annual payment (ground rent canon).

NHG protects you against residual debt if you are forced to sell your home for less than the mortgage debt. You pay a one-off premium for this when you take out your mortgage.

This means that all purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and any real estate agent fees come on top of the purchase price and are at the buyer's expense.

Absolutely, this is very normal. We always schedule viewings in consultation with you and ensure this disrupts your daily routine as little as possible.

We analyze recently sold similar properties in the neighborhood, review current market conditions and assess the unique features of your home. This combination provides the most realistic market value.

We help with practical styling tips, take professional photos and provide attractive promotional material. A tidy, clean and well-lit home always makes the best impression.

The average sales time is between 4-12 weeks, depending on factors such as location, pricing, home type, and season. Good preparation and correct pricing can significantly shorten this process.

In case of multiple bids, we will discuss all proposals extensively with you. We not only look at the amount of the bid, but also at the conditions, reliability of the financing and the desired delivery date. Together, we decide which offer is best.

A complete bid includes at least:

- The amount offered
- Preferred transfer date
- Any conditions such as financing or technical inspection
- Special wishes regarding movable property or additional research

Not necessarily. The seller decides which bid is most attractive. A slightly lower bid without risks may take priority over a higher bid with many conditions.

Your offer only becomes definitively binding after both parties sign the purchase contract. After that, the statutory cooling-off period of 3 business days automatically begins.

The selling agent draws up the purchase contract and arranges the digital signature. The cooling-off period and any conditions such as financing then run. The signed contract goes to the chosen notary for further processing.

On the transfer date, you conduct the final inspection together with the agent, after which the official transfer takes place at the notary. Immediately after the transfer you receive the house keys.

This is the last check before the transfer, checking that everything is delivered as agreed in the contract. The meter readings for gas, water and light are also noted.

In addition to the purchase price, you pay transfer tax, notary fees and possibly the commission of your own buyer's agent. First-time buyers up to 35 years old pay no transfer tax on homes up to €525,000. For owner-occupation, transfer tax is 2%, and for investment properties 10.4%.
