Do you have the wish to purchase a house? And have you been busy viewing houses? There are certain aspects you need to think of before viewing houses. The most important is: are you going to use this house as your home or is this purchase an investment? Maybe you want to rent the place after a couple of years and relocate? This question is very important regarding a mortgage apply and legal rules in the Netherlands.
If you wish to rent the house after a couple of years keep in mind the marketability of the property and the facilities in the vicinity?
If you wish to purchase a house and stay there for quite a long time these two aspects mentioned above are not the most important. In this case ask yourself the following questions:
1. What are your specific housing needs?
2. Do you want a house or an apartment, newly built, existing building or monumental building?
3. Preference for certain residential areas?
4. House with water view, city view, green?
5. Preference for a garden or top floor?
6. The lay out of the house and how many rooms you need?
7. Family planning?
