Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions

What questions should you ask when buying a house?

When buying a house, you should ask questions about the building fabric, energy modernization requirements, any damage or defects, and the condition of the roof, heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. You should also find out about the neighborhood, everyday amenities, and the location in general. Furthermore, you should find out about the running costs and check the documents. Here you should review a current extract from the land register, building permit documents, the energy performance certificate, and various other information.

How often should you view a house before buying it?

It is advisable to view a house at least twice: once in daylight and at least once more to clarify any outstanding questions. If possible, take an expert or experienced companion/craftsman with you. Virtual viewings can also be used as a supplement.

How much money should you have when buying a house?

As a rule of thumb, when buying a home for your own use, you should have at least 10%, or better still 20-30%, of the purchase price as equity. The purchase price includes the actual purchase price as well as ancillary costs such as notary and court fees, brokerage commission, and real estate transfer tax.

Will 2025 be a favorable year for purchasing a home?

2025 could be a favorable year, as interest rates remain stable and many real estate buyers return to the market. However, regional differences and supply-demand situations play a role.

How do you transfer large sums of money when buying a house?

A notary account may only be opened if there is a legitimate security interest. Cash payments have also been prohibited by law. The transfer of large amounts should always be discussed with your bank advisor in advance so that any transfer limits can be adjusted if necessary.
