A purchase broker, very handy!

The purchase broker of Amstel Housing guides you through the entire process, from the search and the viewing of the house, and the transfer at the notary. 

After selecting the properties that match your search profile, we will visit the selected properties together with you. We will then, and afterwards, look at certain aspects for you, such as:

  • the overall state of maintenance of the property;
  • any visible damage and defects to the property;
  • the possible need for a possible constructional inspection;
  • the ownership situation;
  • possible membership and 'healthy condition' of the Owners' Association;
  • any development plans;
  • the Energy label and the environmental aspects.

Amstel Housing quickly finds out the necessary data and takes this into account in the purchase advice and negotiations.

The negotiations and purchase agreement

During the negotiations, it is crucial to have a good bidding strategy and to come up with the best opening bid. After acceptance of the final offer, the agreements are laid down in a purchase agreement. Of course, we will guide you through this and scan all the necessary documents for you.

At the notary's office, transfer of ownership

On the agreed date of transfer, the house is first inspected and the meter readings are taken. Amstel Housing has already checked the notarial documents.
From this point on, the deed of transfer (transfer of ownership) must be signed at the notary's office. Afterwards, you will be registered as the new owner in the Land Registry. You will now get the keys handed over, congratulations on your new home!
