starter-housing-market-opportunities

You are a starter in the housing market as soon as you want to buy a property for the first time between the ages of 18 and 35. This is an exciting event and especially in this day and age, all help is welcome. Hence, in this blog, we provide 5 tips for first-time home buyers!

 

Tip 1: Determine your financial options

The first step is to determine your financial options. You can hire a mortgage adviser for this, who will find out the amount you can borrow and the monthly costs that go with it. In many cases, this is a no-obligation advice.

Furthermore, you can research the possibility of a start-up loan you might qualify for.

 

Tip 2: Draw up a wish list

Now that you know your financial options, you can start thinking about a wish list. Consider the number of rooms, type of home, neighbourhood and living space.

It is important here to set realistic requirements. Now that you have determined your wishes/opportunities, you can work this into a search for www.overspaern.nl or for www.funda.nl. This way, you will only find properties that meet your defined criteria.

 

Tip 3: Look outside the city

Often, starters work in the city and therefore look for a home here. Yet it is often difficult for starters to find a house in the city.

Therefore, you can also look for housing in suburbs. Here, houses are cheaper and there is often a good connection to the city. Do pay close attention to public transport options and arterial roads.

 

Tip 4: Conduct neighbourhood surveys

Once you have found a nice property, you can conduct a neighbourhood survey. In doing so, it is wise to visit the neighbourhood at different times and days.

Furthermore, you can also ask local residents for information about the neighbourhood. You will get the most honest answers from these people and this will paint a good picture. Finally, you can also research the neighbourhood online.

 

Tip 5: Engage a buying agent

For first-time buyers, there is a lot involved in buying your first home and at this time, finding the right property is a big challenge. Therefore, engage an NVM purchase broker. A purchase broker supports you during the purchase of your first home and this can save a lot of stress and time.
