We work together with Coppelmans Makelaardij to fully support you in the buying process. They will discuss your needs and budget, inform you of available houses, arrange appointments, request relevant information and conduct negotiations for you. They have great experience in dealing with international clients (additional costs apply for this complete service). 

We will give you a maximum figure with which you can make an offer that is suitable for you.

After placing a bid, you have a statutory right to cancel the contract of sale within three days of signing it, without giving reasons (cooling-off period). A civil-law notary is always involved in the purchase and sale of immovable property. The property buyer is entitled to appoint the civil-law notary of his or her choice. We work together with Helder Notarissen.

When preparing your mortgage application, we will need the following information:

• Necessary information about you personally
  • A copy of your passport
  • A copy of your residence permit
• Necessary informationabout the mortgaged property
  • Copy of the purchase agreement, signed by both parties
  • Original valuation/appraisal report
  • Structural survey report (if required)
• Necessary information to substantiate your financial position
  • Employer’s statement. A statement made by your employer confirming your annual income based on salary, bonuses and fringe benefits.
  • Salary specification. Your monthly pay slip, which will correspond to the information given in your employer’s statement, and which will also show aspects such as the 30% ruling, expenses, payable taxes, etc.
  • Statements of savings accounts or loans, investment portfolios and property owned outside of the Netherlands.
  • Confirmation of the tax department’s granting of the 30% ruling (if applicable).

You may not transfer the ownership of a house in the Netherlands without engaging a civil-law notary. The civil-law notary is impartial. For more information about the civil-law notary, see Helder Notarissen.

• We have agreements with the civil-law notary firm concerning the service to our customers, communication in English and the possibility of having an interpreter at hand.
• We have agreements with interpreters who are familiar with the methods used by the civil-law notary for the transfer of title of real estate.
• We check the statement of completion of the notary on behalf of our clients.
• We will be present during the transfer of title procedure and, if necessary, when the (provisional) contract of sale is signed.

What Helder Notarissen takes care of:

• Drawing up the contract of sale (this can also be done by the estate agent or another party).
• Drawing up the deed of delivery for the home.
• Drawing up the mortgage deed.
• Having details filed with the public registers.
• Carrying out checks (to establish, for example, whether the vendor is entitled to sell, whether the home is subject to an attachment order, etc.).
• Attending to the settlement and transfer of funds.
