Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I buy the house I am currently renting?

Yes, there is a good chance that you can buy the house or apartment you are renting. Many property owners are considering selling their properties due to recent tax changes, which have made renting less profitable.

Will the mortgage payment be higher than my rent?

No, in most cases, the mortgage payment will be lower than the rent you’re currently paying. Additionally, you will be paying for your own home, not someone else’s property.

What is the process of buying?

The process is simple and stress-free:

  • Fill out the form on our website.
  • We will check how much mortgage you can get.
  • We will contact the property owner to ask if they are willing to sell the house you’re currently renting.

The entire process takes place in your language and takes about 6 weeks.

What if the owner doesn't want to sell the property?

If the owner decides not to sell the house, you won’t incur any costs. We’ll check other possibilities and inform you about alternative solutions.

How soon can I become the owner of the house?

The entire process, from checking your creditworthiness to signing the contract, can take about 6 weeks. We will do everything to get you the keys to your new home as quickly as possible.

Does the buying process require additional formalities if I am a tenant?

No, you will go through the standard steps of purchasing a property, such as obtaining a mortgage, signing a preliminary agreement, and finalizing the notarial transaction. However, as a tenant, you have an advantage because the owner knows you as a stable tenant, and in some cases, you may have the right of first refusal, which will make the process easier.

What if I don’t have enough creditworthiness to buy the house I’m currently renting?

There are ways to improve your creditworthiness, such as paying off existing loans and financial obligations (e.g., appliance installments). We also offer assistance in obtaining additional financial grants, such as the Starter Loan (Starterslening), which can boost your creditworthiness. Our team will help you find the best options tailored to your needs.

What are the benefits of buying the house I’m renting instead of looking for a new one?

Buying the house you’re renting gives you the certainty that you won’t have to move or change your place of residence. You already know the neighborhood and the condition of the property. Additionally, the buying process may be faster because the owner is already familiar with your history as a tenant, which can make negotiations easier.

Can I negotiate the purchase price?

Often, yes. The owner may be more willing to lower the price if they see that you have a stable financial situation and are ready for a quick purchase.

Can I buy the house I’m renting if the lease is for a fixed term?

Yes, you can. A fixed-term lease does not prevent you from purchasing the rented property.

Will I have to pay tax when selling this property?

No! In the Netherlands, there is no capital gains tax. Additionally, you can sell the house immediately after purchase, as there is no five-year rule like in other countries, where the tax can be as high as 19%.

Do I need to pay for the service?

Our consultations are completely free! You only pay if you decide to purchase a property—no hidden costs.
