Purchase

Buying a house is a major event that involves a lot of thinking. Even once you own a home, there is always something to think about. Primarily, a different home for you obviously means striving for pleasant and comfortable living. Moreover, when buying a home, you are also consciously choosing a long-term and significant investment. Unlike renting, you are now the owner of the property. This also makes you responsible for, for instance, maintenance and any repairs to the property. On the other hand, you can benefit from a possible increase in the value of your property. In short, we can tell you that there is a lot involved in buying a house.

Bring your broker

Once you have decided you want to buy a property, you are on the eve of a complex and comprehensive process. What should it be: a flat or a single-family house? A terraced house, semi-detached or perhaps detached? Existing building or new construction? How big should the house be? What do you want in terms of location and surroundings? Of course, a lot also depends on the financial picture: How far does the budget stretch? Is the asking price in proportion to the location and state of repair of the property? And what will the monthly costs be?
These are countless questions that you would presumably like to discuss with a specialist without any obligation, without being immediately presented with a bill. With the specialists of Jacobus Recourt Makelaars at your side, you can be sure to get an expert answer to all your questions, with which you can make the right decisions. Throughout the entire process of searching for and bidding on a suitable property, you can benefit from our years of experience and thorough knowledge of the current housing stock. With an eye for detail, we pay attention to zoning plans, building regulations, ground lease provisions, VVE regulations and other legal and financial aspects. Our sales assistance is subject to the NVM terms and conditions 2018.
You can also feel free to leave the price negotiation to us, because for our specialists, your interests come first. Once the sale is complete, we will take care of the paperwork efficiently and correctly. In short, all that matters is that you will soon be living comfortably in your new home.

Sale

Selling a house rarely stands alone. Usually, selling one property means moving into another. So you have a lot on your mind and everything intertwines. At least, if it all goes according to plan. But what does such a plan look like? How do you avoid ending up with double charges? What exactly is a good selling price? And what about the notary?

Rent

The advantages of renting

Many people consciously choose to rent rather than buy, which is not surprising. After all, a rental property gives maximum freedom and convenience at a favourable rate. No long-term contracts, no worries about maintenance and repairs and no responsibilities of an owner.
You can enjoy the pleasures without having to worry about the burdens. In short, renting is so comfortable!
