Question 1

Can Domek arrange my utilities and home services for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as part of its all-in-one service, Domek can arrange your utilities, internet, insurance and other home services, so you do not have to deal with Dutch providers in a language you may not speak. This is what sets a full-service home partner apart from a mortgage-only adviser. Your new home can be ready to live in from the start.

Question 2

A bérbeadóm el akarja adni a házat, amit bérelek. Milyen lehetőségeim vannak?

Accepted Answer

Több lehetősége van, mint azt a legtöbb bérlő gondolja. Bizonyos esetekben elővásárlási joga lehet (voorkeursrecht), ami azt jelenti, hogy bármely ajánlatot megegyezhet, mielőtt az ingatlant más vevőnek adnák el. Még hivatalos jog nélkül is gyakran jó helyzetben van egy versenyképes ajánlat megtételéhez. Azonnal vegye fel a kapcsolatot a Domek-kel — ezekben a helyzetekben a gyorsaság kulcsfontosságú.

Question 3

How do I choose or switch energy provider in the Netherlands (energieleverancier overstappen)?

Accepted Answer

You can freely choose and switch energy provider (energieleverancier overstappen) in the Netherlands, comparing suppliers on contract type, price and green energy (groene stroom). Switching is straightforward, and the new supplier usually arranges the changeover and any cancellation. A fixed or variable contract each have pros and cons depending on the market.

Question 4

How do I get internet and wifi at my new home (internet aansluiten)?

Accepted Answer

You arrange internet and wifi by choosing a provider and ordering a connection (internet aansluiten) for your address, ideally a few weeks before moving because installation can take time. Availability and speed depend on the local network, such as fibre (glasvezel) or cable. Comparing providers helps you find the right speed and contract for your home.

Question 5

How do I register my move and change my address (verhuizing doorgeven)?

Accepted Answer

When you move you must report your new address (verhuizing doorgeven) to your municipality, which updates your registration (BRP) and BSN details. You should also pass your new address to your bank, insurers, employer and the tax authorities. Doing this on time keeps your post, taxes and services running smoothly.

Question 6

How do I set up gas, water and electricity in my new Dutch home?

Accepted Answer

You set up gas, water and electricity by signing a contract with an energy supplier (energieleverancier) and registering with your regional water company around your move-in date. You provide meter readings (meterstanden) at handover so billing starts correctly. Arranging this a few weeks ahead means your home has power and water from day one.

Question 7

How do I transfer or cancel utilities when I move house?

Accepted Answer

When moving house you give final meter readings (eindstand meterstanden) and either transfer your utility and internet contracts to the new address or cancel and restart them, depending on the provider. Timing this around your handover date avoids paying for two homes at once. Notifying providers in advance keeps your services running without a gap.

Question 8

Mano nuomotojas nori parduoti namą, kurį nuomoju. Kokios yra mano galimybės?

Accepted Answer

Jūs turite daugiau galimybių, nei dauguma nuomininkų įsivaizduoja. Kai kuriais atvejais galite turėti pirmumo teisę (voorkeursrecht), tai reiškia, kad galite pateikti tokį pat pasiūlymą kaip ir kitas pirkėjas prieš parduodant turtą kitam asmeniui. Net ir neturėdami oficialios teisės, dažnai esate geroje pozicijoje pateikti konkurencingą pasiūlymą. Nedelsdami susisiekite su Domek — tokiose situacijose greitis yra labai svarbus.

Question 9

Mi propietario quiere vender la casa que alquilo. ¿Cuáles son mis opciones?

Accepted Answer

Tiene más opciones de las que la mayoría de los inquilinos imagina. En algunos casos puede tener derecho de preferencia (voorkeursrecht), lo que significa que puede igualar cualquier oferta antes de que la propiedad sea vendida a otro comprador. Incluso sin un derecho formal, a menudo está en una buena posición para hacer una oferta competitiva. Contacte con Domek inmediatamente — la rapidez es importante en estas situaciones.

Question 10

Mój właściciel chce sprzedać dom, który wynajmuję. Jakie mam opcje?

Accepted Answer

Masz więcej możliwości, niż większość najemców zdaje sobie sprawę. W niektórych przypadkach możesz mieć prawo pierwokupu (voorkeursrecht), co oznacza, że możesz wyrównać każdą ofertę przed sprzedażą nieruchomości innemu kupującemu. Nawet bez formalnego prawa często jesteś w dobrej pozycji, aby złożyć konkurencyjną ofertę. Skontaktuj się z Domek natychmiast — w takich sytuacjach liczy się szybkość.

Question 11

My landlord wants to sell the house I am renting. What are my options?

Accepted Answer

You have more options than most tenants realise. In some cases you may have a right of first refusal (voorkeursrecht), meaning you can match any offer before the property goes to another buyer. Even without a formal right, you are often well-positioned to make a competitive offer. Contact Domek immediately — speed matters in these situations.

Question 12

O meu senhorio quer vender a casa que estou a arrendar. Quais são as minhas opções?

Accepted Answer

Tem mais opções do que a maioria dos inquilinos imagina. Em alguns casos pode ter direito de preferência (voorkeursrecht), o que significa que pode igualar qualquer oferta antes de o imóvel ser vendido a outro comprador. Mesmo sem um direito formal, muitas vezes está numa boa posição para apresentar uma oferta competitiva. Contacte imediatamente a Domek — a rapidez é importante nestas situações.

Question 13

Proprietarul meu vrea să vândă casa pe care o închiriez. Care sunt opțiunile mele?

Accepted Answer

Aveți mai multe opțiuni decât își dau seama majoritatea chiriașilor. În unele cazuri puteți avea drept de preempțiune (voorkeursrecht), ceea ce înseamnă că puteți egala orice ofertă înainte ca proprietatea să fie vândută altui cumpărător. Chiar și fără un drept formal, de multe ori sunteți într-o poziție bună pentru a face o ofertă competitivă. Contactați imediat Domek — viteza este importantă în aceste situații.

Question 14

What do I need to arrange when I first move to the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

When you first move you typically register at the municipality for your BSN, arrange a DigiD, open a Dutch bank account, take out health insurance (zorgverzekering), and set up utilities and internet. Registering at the gemeente is the first step, because it unlocks most of the others. A clear checklist keeps the move manageable.

Question 15

What municipal taxes and water charges will I receive after moving in?

Accepted Answer

As a homeowner you receive annual municipal taxes such as property tax (OZB) and waste and sewerage charges, plus water authority charges (waterschapsbelasting), all based on your home and its WOZ value (WOZ-waarde). These arrive after you register at your new address. Knowing them in advance helps you budget for the full cost of living in your home.

Question 16

Мій орендодавець хоче продати будинок, який я орендую. Які в мене є варіанти?

Accepted Answer

У Вас є більше можливостей, ніж думає більшість орендарів. У деяких випадках Ви можете мати переважне право купівлі (voorkeursrecht), що означає, що Ви можете зрівняти будь-яку пропозицію до того, як нерухомість буде продана іншому покупцеві. Навіть без офіційного права Ви часто перебуваєте у хорошій позиції, щоб зробити конкурентну пропозицію. Негайно зв’яжіться з Domek — у таких ситуаціях швидкість має велике значення.

Question 17

Моят наемодател иска да продаде къщата, която наемам. Какви са моите възможности?

Accepted Answer

Имате повече възможности, отколкото повечето наематели осъзнават. В някои случаи може да имате право на първи отказ (voorkeursrecht), което означава, че можете да изравните всяка оферта, преди имотът да бъде продаден на друг купувач. Дори без официално право често сте в добра позиция да направите конкурентна оферта. Свържете се с Domek веднага — скоростта е важна в такива ситуации.
